The relationship between bending and tension strength of Irish and UK spruce and pine
(Springer, 2022-02-07)
The correct characterisation of wood properties is fundamental for the best utilisation of resources. In Europe, grading is defined by strength classes that are determined based on either bending or tension tests. The ...
Dual-phase cohesive zone modelling and experimental validation for hydrogen-assisted cracking of 2205 duplex stainless steel
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
The hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC) behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel is investigated via experimental testing and computational modelling, with specific focus on developing a predictive methodology for the coupled ...
Operational fatigue loading on tidal turbine blades using computational fluid dynamics
(Elsevier, 2020-01-20)
As the world moves to a greater reliance on renewable energy, a vital component will be the predictability and dependability of the energy source; tidal energy provides such a solution. Horizontal axis tidal turbines are ...
Development and assessment of a blade element momentum theory model for high solidity vertical axis tidal turbines
(Elsevier, 2020-01-20)
Tidal energy is an attractive renewable resource given its predictability. The production of reliable, efficient and cost-effective tidal energy turbines requires the development of computer models for assessment and design ...
Revisiting Ishikawa's original seven basic tools of quality control: A global study and some new insights
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-07-26)
The purpose of this global study is to investigate the validity of Dr. Ishikawa’s statement that “95% of problems in processes can be solved using the 7 Quality Control (QC) tools” in organizations. An online survey ...
A risk ranking of pesticides in Irish drinking water considering chronic health effects.
(Elsevier, 2022-03-17)
This paper presents a novel scoring system which facilitates a relative ranking of pesticide risk to human health arising from contaminated drinking water. This method was developed to identify risky pesticides to better ...
Dissolution of delta phase in Ni-based superalloy during linear friction welding: integrated multiphysics computational process modelling
(Springer, 2021-06-15)
Linear friction welding (LFW) is an increasingly popular solid-state joining method for challenging applications such as integrated blade disk of aero-engines. However, the influence of friction-generated heat on the ...
Computational modelling of dynamic recrystallisation of Ni-based superalloy during linear friction welding
(Springer, 2022-01-12)
Linear friction welding (LFW) is an advanced joining technology used for manufacturing and repairing complex assemblies like blade integrated disks (blisks) of aeroengines. This paper presents an integrated multiphysics ...
An examination of maximum legal application rates of dairy processing and associated STRUBIAS fertilising products in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-10-09)
The dairy industry produces vast quantities of dairy processing sludge (DPS), which can be processed further to develop second generation products such as struvite, biochars and ashes (collectively known as STRUBIAS). These ...
A comparison of assisted human reproduction (AHR) regulation in Ireland with other developed countries
(BMC Part of Springer Nature, 2022-03-05)
Assisted human reproduction (AHR) treatment is not regulated in Ireland although it has been practised since 1987. Thus, Ireland is one of the only European countries without any form of AHR specific regulation. This ...
