Evaluation and analysis of fracture modes in single composite basalt/epoxy fibres by photoelastic method and single fibre fragmentation test
(Springer, 2022-04-11)
In this work, the suitability of basalt fibres for uni-directional composite material applications, and adhesion between the fibres and the matrix they are embedded in have been investigated. A single fibre fragmentation ...
Deformation mechanisms of selective laser melted 316L austenitic stainless steel in high temperature low cycle fatigue
(Elsevier, 2022-04-22)
To investigate the low cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of SLM (Selective laser melting) 316L at 550 °C high temperature, a series of LCF tests at different strain amplitudes is conducted on SLM 316L and traditional 316L. ...
The impact of Healthcare 4.0 on the healthcare service quality: A systematic literature review
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-03-24)
Healthcare 4.0 is inspired by Industry 4.0 and its application has resulted in a paradigmatic shift in the field of healthcare. However, the impact of this digital revolution in the healthcare system on healthcare service ...
Cosmic sounds: A game to support phonological awareness skills for children with dyslexia
(2022)
Studies show that reduced literacy skills can negatively influence a child¿s self-esteem and future career opportunities. Literacy is significantly affected when problems exist understanding the phonological component or ...
The lack of Ireland’s assisted human reproduction (AHR) regulation viewed under the lens of the patient’s experience
(MDPI, 2022-08-03)
Assisted Human Reproduction (AHR) treatment is unregulated in Ireland, although it is practised there. Within Europe, Ireland is one of the only European countries without any form of AHR-specific regulation. This study ...
Temperature sensing optimization for home thermostat retrofit
(MDPI, 2021-05-26)
Most existing residential buildings adopt one single-zone thermostat to control the heating
of rooms with different thermal conditions. This solution often provides poor thermal comfort and
inefficient use of energy. The ...
Transfer learning applied to DRL-Based heat pump control to leverage microgrid energy efficiency
(Elsevier, 2021-09-11)
Domestic hot water accounts for approximately 15% of the total residential energy consumption in Europe, and most of this usage happens during specific periods of the day, resulting in undesirable peak loads. The increase ...
Hygrothermal deterioration in carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite laminates aged in marine-based environment (degradation mechanism, mechanical and physicochemical properties)
(Springer, 2022-01-27)
One of the major challenges in off-shore tidal and wave energy devices is the ageing of these structures in the hostile marine environment, which limits their operating life. In this research, mechanical properties of aged ...
A computational toolchain for the automatic generation of multiple Reduced-Order Models from CFD simulations
(Elsevier, 2019-05-25)
This paper describes the development of a systematic tool chain capable of automatically extracting accurate and efficient Reduced-Order Models (ROMs) from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. These ROMs can ...
The evolution of Ireland’s medical device cluster and its future direction
(MDPI, 2022-08-16)
Ireland has developed a highly successful medical device cluster. Most of the industry started from USA multinationals that moved to Ireland in the 1990s. An ecosystem has now developed with strong linkages between ...
