Boolean games played in a triangle using bi-partite and tri-partite entanglement
(NUI Galway, 2024-04-17)This dissertation analyses the Nash equilibrium points in a triangle network when the three nodes/players are playing pairwise boolean games using bi-partite and tri partite entanglement. The players are given one bit as ... -
Gent models for the inflation of spherical balloons
(Elsevier, 2015)We revisit an iconic deformation of non-linear elasticity: the inflation of a rubber spherical thin shell. We use the 3-parameter Mooney and Gent-Gent (GG) phenomenological models to explain the stretch-strain curve of a ... -
Incremental elastic surface waves and static wrinkles
(2015-10-06)This article-based thesis comprises a collection of four articles, each of which constitutes a chapter written and formatted in manuscript form. The general aim underlying these articles is to understand and predict how ... -
Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ... -
Introduction to the special issue on stability under finite deformation
(Oxford University Press, 2010)In the botanical gardens of Grenoble, France, there is small bridge, just a few metres long, made of pre-stressed concrete. The bridge dates back to 1855 and is thought to be the oldest manufactured pre-stressed structure ... -
Investigation of T cell receptor and immunoglobulin repertoire through next generation sequencing data
(2017-08-08)The diversity of the immunological repertoire has long been a subject of research focus, providing important insights into the adaptive immune system. Rapid developments in next generation sequencing technologies ... -
Oblique wrinkles
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2017-04-03)We prove theoretically that when a soft solid is subjected to an extreme deformation, wrinkles can form on its surface at an angle that is oblique to a principal direction of stretch. These oblique wrinkles occur for a ... -
Theoretical and numerical analysis of rigid-body impacts with friction
(2015-11-19)This thesis gives a flavour of the area of rigid body impacts with friction, an area which has far reaching applications in engineering, sports science and every day life. The focus of this work will be on the two main ... -
Waves, wrinkles and creases in deformed soft solids
(NUI Galway, 2018-07-10)This article-based thesis comprises a collection of four articles, each of which constitutes a chapter written and formatted in pre-print manuscript form. The general aim underlying these articles is to model the large ...
