The mechano-sorptive creep behaviour of basalt FRP reinforced timber elements in a variable climate
(Elsevier, 2019-09-25)
The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been shown to improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber elements. This is particularly important when reinforced elements are subjected to a variable ...
Novel use of peatlands as future locations for the sustainable intensification of freshwater aquaculture production - A case study from the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2019-12-10)
There has been an increasing interest in enhancing freshwater aquaculture processes without hindering the progress of the Water Framework Directive. This constitutes the first study to describe a new concept in integrated ...
Prediction of fast pyrolysis products yields using lignocellulosic compounds and ash contents
(Elsevier, 2019-10-26)
The effects of lignocellulosic biomass composition on product yields and distributions were studied under high-temperature pyrolysis conditions (800–1250 C) in a drop tube reactor. Several types of biomass were studied ...
A two and three-dimensional CFD investigation into performance prediction and wake characterisation of a vertical axis turbine
(AIP Publishing, 2018-05-24)
The emergence of tidal energy as a key renewable energy source requires the development of computational design models for accurate prediction of turbine performance and wake effects whilst also being computationally ...
Mass timber - the emergence of a modern construction material
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08-31)
In the move towards sustainable construction, timber and wood-based products are becoming increasingly important structural materials. The introduction of mass timber products with excellent load carrying characteristics ...
Remote sensing of surface waters in Ireland
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2018-08-29)
An implementation of the WFD requires all surface waters in the EU to achieve at least good status; this requirement has not been achieved in Ireland. Just over 30% of transitional waters and 79% of coastal waters were ...
The effects of array configuration on the hydro-environmental impacts of tidal turbines
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
The economic viability of tidal turbines will require the deployment of multiple devices in array formations in a manner analogous to wind farms. This research investigates the effects of the configuration of a tidal turbine ...
An insight into bone dielectric properties variation: a foundation for electromagnetic medical devices
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-09-10)
Dielectric properties of bones have recently got significant attention to monitor bone quality. This paper reports in-vitro dielectric properties of human trabecular bone samples obtained from osteoporotic and osteoarthritic ...
Gaze Visual - A graphical software tool for performance evaluation of eye gaze estimation systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-08-15)
The concept of an open source software developed for all round performance evaluation of gaze tracking systems is presented. The capabilities of this software towards quantitative, statistical and visual analysis of gaze ...
A precipitate evolution-based continuum damage mechanics model of creep behaviour in welded 9Cr steel at high temperature
(SAGE Publications, 2018-04-04)
A multiaxial, physically based, continuum damage mechanics methodology for creep of welded 9Cr steels is presented, incorporating a multiple precipitate-type state variable, which simulates the effects of strain- and ...
