Finite element prediction of creep-plastic ratchetting and low cycle creep-fatigue for a large SPF tool
(Springer Verlag, 2010-03-03)Industrial experience shows that large superplastic forming (SPF) tools suffer from distortion due to thermal cycling, which apparently causes high temperature creep and plasticity. In addition to distortion, thermomechanical ... -
Finite element predictions compared to experimental results for the effective modulus of bone tissue engineering scaffolds fabricated by selective laser sintering
(Springer Verlag, 2009)A current challenge in bone tissue engineering is to create scaffolds with suitable mechanical properties, high porosity, full interconnectivity and suitable pore size. In this paper, polyamide and polycaprolactone scaffolds ... -
Finite element simulation of fretting wear and fatigue in thin steel wires
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-05-09)This paper studies the effect of fretting on fatigue life reduction of thin steel wires, using the frictionally-induced multiaxial contact stresses obtained from a finite element wear model, validated in previous work. The ... -
A finite element study of microstructure-sensitive plasticity and crack nucleation in fretting
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011)This paper is concerned with finite element modelling of microstructure-sensitive plasticity and crack initiation in fretting. The approach adopted is based on an existing method for microstructure-sensitive (uniaxial) ... -
The finite implication problem for expressive XML keys: Foundations, applications, and performance evaluation
(Springer, 2013)The increasing popularity of XML for persistent data storage, processing and exchange has triggered the demand for efficient algorithms to manage XML data. Both industry and academia have long since recognized the importance ... -
Finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves in a deformed Mooney-Rivlin material
(Oxford University Press, 2002)The propagation of finite-amplitude linearly-polarized inhomogeneous transverse plane waves is considered for a Mooney-Rivlin material maintained in a state of finite static homogeneous deformation. It is shown that such ... -
Finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves of exponential type in incompressible elastic materials
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1999-05)It is proved that elliptically polarized finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves may not propagate in an elastic material subject to the constraint of incompressibility. The waves considered are harmonic in time and ... -
Finite-amplitude Love waves in a pre-stressed neo-Hookean material
(2008)In the context of the non-linear elasticity theory we consider a model for compressible solids called compressible neoHookean material . We show how (exact) finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane wave solutions and ... -
First Synthesis of an Aziridinyl Fused Pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Various Imidazobenzimidazolequinones Towards Human Normal and Cancer Cell Lines
(2011-07-13)Chapter 1 provides a review of aziridine containing anti-tumour agents and some key syntheses of the aziridinomitosene skeleton. A novel protocol for aziridine ring fusion is described leading to the preparation of the ... -
The First VERITAS Telescope
(2006)The first atmospheric Cherenkov telescope of VERITAS (the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) has been in operation since February 2005. We present here a technical description of the instrument and a ... -
FirstNuSTAR observations of MRK 501 within a radio to TeV multi-instrument campaign
(IOP Publishing, 2015-10-10)We report on simultaneous broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar Markarian 501 between 2013 April 1 and August 10, including the first detailed characterization of the synchrotron peak with Swift and NuSTAR. During ... -
Flicker-induced color and form: Interdependencies and relation to stimulation frequency and phase
(Elsevier, 2006-03)Our understanding of human visual perception generally rests on the assumption that conscious visual states represent the interaction of spatial structures in the environment and our nervous system. This assumption is ... -
A Flood of Light: Comments on the Interpretation Act 2005
(Judicial Studies Institute, 2006)The Interpretation Act 2005 consolidates previous legislation and contains some new provisions inspired by a Law Reform Commission report. These may bring about a subtle but significant change in the methods of statutory ... -
Flood risk management in Ireland: the role of public participation
(2014-10-17)While growing vulnerability to floods globally emphasizes the need to pursue research in this field, the relatively recent engagement in Ireland with this escalating social problem is notably found wanting in both the areas ... -
Fluid dynamics of gas exchange in high-frequency oscillatory ventilation: In vitro investigations in idealized and anatomically realistic airway bifurcation models
(Springer, 2008-11)The objective of this work is to develop understanding of the local fluid dynamic mechanisms that underpin gas exchange in high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). The flow field during HFOV was investigated ... -
A fluorescence anisotropy method for measuring protein concentration in complex cell culture media
(Elsevier, 2014-03-12)The rapid, quantitative analysis of the complex cell culture media used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing is of critical importance. Requirements for cell culture media composition profiling, or changes in specific analyte ... -
Fluorescence EEM Spectroscopy for Rapid Identification and Quality Evaluation of Cell Culture Media Components.
(Ingenta, 2011-11)The application of fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy to the quantitative analysis of complex, aqueous solutions of cell culture media components was investigated. These components, yeastolate, ... -
Fluorescence emission from petroleum; a valuable information source for petroleum analysis.
(EniTecnologie, 2004)Despite the fact that most crude oils are dark coloured liquids, many are observed to be strongly fluorescent when illuminated with UV light. This fluorescence, which originates from the presence of aromatic compounds, is ... -
Fluorescence study of bovine serum albumin and Ti and Sn Oxide nanoparticles interactions.
(The Optical Society, 2007)Nanochemistry offers stimulating opportunities for a wide variety of applications in the biosciences. Understanding of the interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules such as proteins is very important as it can help ...
