Micro-scale testing and micromechanical modelling for high cycle fatigue for CoCr stent material
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-02-20)This paper presents a framework of experimental testing and crystal plasticity micromechanics for high cycle fatigue (HCF) of micro-scale L605 CoCr stent material. Micro-scale specimens, representative of stent struts, are ... -
Microbiological characterisation and impact of suspended solids on pathogen removal from wastewaters in dairy processing factories
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-08-29)In this Research Communication we investigate the microbiological profile of 12 dairy wastewater streams from three contrasting Irish dairy processing factories to determine whether faecal indicators/pathogens were present ... -
Micromechanical finite element modelling of thermo-mechanical fatigue for P91 steels,
(Elsevier, 2016-01-21)In this paper, the cyclic plasticity and fatigue crack initiation behaviour of a tempered martensitic ferritic steel under thermo-mechanical fatigue conditions is examined by means of micromechanical finite element modelling. ... -
Micromechanical modelling of fatigue crack nucleation in stents
(Bioengineering In Ireland Conference 2012, 2012)A finite element based micro-mechanical methodology for cyclic plasticity and fatigue crack initiation in cardiovascular stents is presented. The methodology is based on the combined use of a (global) three-dimensional ... -
Microplastics in sewage sludge: effects of treatment
(American Chemical Society, 2016-12-12)Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are receptors for the cumulative loading of microplastics (MPs) derived from industry, landfill, domestic waste water and storm water. The partitioning of MPs through the settlement ... -

Microstructure modeling of high-temperature microcrack initiation and evolution in a welded 9Cr martensitic steel
(SAGE Publications, 2019-02-28)Welded joints in tempered 9Cr-1Mo operating at elevated temperatures are well known to be prone to premature failure due to cracking in the heat-affected zone. This paper describes a crystal plasticity model to predict the ... -
Microstructure-sensitive prediction and experimental validation of fretting fatigue
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-06-03)This paper is concerned with the development of a micro-mechanical methodology for prediction of fretting fatigue crack nucleation life and short crack propagation. The methodology employs critical accumulated plastic slip ... -
Microwave bone imaging: A preliminary investigation on numerical bone phantoms for bone health monitoring
(MDPI, 2020-11-05)Microwave tomography (MWT) can be used as an alternative modality for monitoring human bone health. Studies have found a significant dielectric contrast between healthy and diseased human trabecular bones. A set of diverse ... -
Microwave bone imaging: experimental evaluation of calcaneus bone phantom and imaging prototype
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-12-14)Microwave imaging (MWI) can be used as an alternate imaging modality for monitoring bone health. Evaluation and characterization of MWI prototype is a precursor step before in vivo investigation of bone dielectric ... -
Microwave calcaneus phantom for bone imaging applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-03-15)Microwave imaging can be used as an alternate modality for monitoring bone health. Dielectrically accurate, anthropomorphic phantoms play vital role in testing of imaging prototype prior to clinical applications. However, ... -
Microwave thermal ablation: focusing energy in target tissue using fat layer
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)Microwave thermal ablation therapy is a minimally invasive technique introduced in the interventional oncology practice to treat a range of cancerous pathologies. Whereas satisfying results are obtained with the treatment ... -
Mineral fertiliser equivalent value of dairy processing sludge and derived biochar using ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(Elsevier, 2022-08-20)As supply chains of chemical fertilisers become more precarious, raw or derived bio-based fertilisers (herein referred to as bio-fertilisers) from the dairy processing industry could be good alternatives. However, their ... -
Minimum information for dielectric measurements of biological tissues (MINDER): A framework for repeatable and reusable data
(Wiley, 2017-11-13)The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterise the interaction of human tissues with electromagnetic (EM) fields. Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of tissues are vital in EM‐based therapeutic ... -
