Experimental characterisation of the moment-rotation behaviour of beam-beam connections using compressed wood fasteners
(Elsevier, 2021-09-16)The widespread use of energy-intensive metallic connectors and synthetic adhesives in modern timber construction has negative implications for the end-of-life disposal or re-use of the structural timber components. Therefore, ... -
Experimental characterization and strengthening mechanism of process-structure-property of selective laser melted 316 L
(Elsevier, 2023-03-02)Heat treatment is the most common method to relieve residual stress and to adjust tensile properties in additively manufactured material. However, the well-known strengthening factors (e.g., dislocation density, cellular ... -
Experimental evaluation of the effective ablation zone on ex-vivo bovine liver samples
(IEEE, 2018-09-10)Microwave thermal ablation is under investigation for minimally invasive treatments. In the cases of small targets, such as adrenal glands, microwave thermal ablation is a valuable alternative to the traditional and ... -
Experimental investigation of the moment-rotation behaviour of beam-column connections produced using compressed wood connectors
(Elsevier, 2022-04-04)The widespread use of energy-intensive metallic connectors and synthetic adhesives in modern timber construction has negative implications for the end-of-life disposal or re-use of the structural timber components. Therefore, ... -
Experimental investigation of the response of a driven pile in soft silt
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2004-12-01)The paper describes the results of field tests carried out using highly instrumented piles at a very soft estuarine clayey silt deposit at Kinnegar, Belfast. The site has been used for a number of years as a geotechnical ... -
Experimental investigation of the serviceability behaviour of a cross laminated timber floor
(NUI Galway, 2018-08-29)European timber design standards set out basic serviceability limit design criteria for single span, simply supported floors, but the rotational stiffness of the fixing system and two-way support possible with modern solid ... -
Experimental investigation on damage evolution in pre-corroded aluminum alloy 7075-T7651 under fatigue loading
(Elsevier, 2020-09-01)This paper experimentally investigates the fatigue damage evolution in pre-corroded aluminum alloy (AA) 7075-T7651 via digital image correlation (DIC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Three stages of fatigue damage ... -
Experimental investigation, numerical modelling and multi-objective optimisation of composite wind turbine blades
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-05-24)Static load and modal testing of two blades from a 15 kW wind turbine is presented. The two blades are made from glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene, one of which has been reinforced with additional carbon fibre plies. ... -
Experimental mechanical testing of Poly (l-Lactide) (PLLA) to facilitate pre-degradation characteristics for application in cardiovascular stenting
(Elsevier, 2016-07-19)Next-generation stents made from Biodegradable Polymers (BPs) aim to address the long-term risks (i.e. late restenosis and in-stent thrombosis) associated with both Bare Metal Stents and Drug Eluting Stents, whilst aiming ... -
An experimental study of a flow-accelerating hydrokinetic device
(SAGE Publications, 2018-05-01)Tidal energy researchers and developers use experimental testing of scaled devices as a method of evaluating device performance. Much of the focus to date has been on horizontal axis turbines. This study is focused on a ... -
An experimental study on the key fretting variables for flexible marine risers
