Creep improvement factors for vibro-replacement design
(ICE Publishing, 2017-02)Although the vibro-replacement stone column technique is being deployed increasingly in soft cohesive soil deposits in which creep settlements may be significant/dominant, the majority of existing stone column settlement ... -
A critical analysis of plastic flow behaviour in axisymmetric isothermal and Gleeble compression testing
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-08-16)Coupled thermo-mechanical finite element modelling of both isothermal axisymmetric compression and compression testing using the Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator has been carried out in order to compare the levels of ... -
A critical evaluation and measurement of organisational readiness and adoption for continuous improvement within a medical device manufacturer
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022-05-24)This research aims to assess the organisational readiness and maturity of continuous improvement (CI) deployment in a medical device manufacturer. A single case study approach was used, in an Irish medical device company ... -
Critical failure factors for continuous improvement methodologies in the Irish MedTech industry
(Emerald, 2022-03-10)The main objective of this study is to investigate what are the critical success factors that exist for continuous improvement (CI) methodology deployment in the Irish medical technology (MedTech) industry. The research ... -

Crowdsourcing, citizen sensing and sensor web technologies for public and environmental health surveillance and crisis management: trends, OGC standards and application examples
(BioMed Central, 2011-12-21)'Wikification of GIS by the masses' is a phrase-term first coined by Kamel Boulos in 2005, two years earlier than Goodchild's term 'Volunteered Geographic Information'. Six years later (2005-2011), OpenStreetMap and Google ... -
A customer centric process innovation toolkit for SMEs
(2006)The business environment is changing at an accelerated pace. Consequently, continuous systemic changes within companies are imperative. In light of this, we are witnessing a shift in the way organizations are designed, ... -
Cyclic dominance in the spatial coevolutionary optional prisoner's dilemma game
(CEUR-WS.org, 2016-09-20)This paper studies scenarios of cyclic dominance in a coevolutionary spatial model in which game strategies and links between agents adaptively evolve over time. The Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma (OPD) game is employed. ... -
Cyclic loading tests on sandstone and limestone shale aggregates used in unbound forest roads
(Elsevier, 2009)This study examined the performance of two aggregates subjected to cyclic loading in a large-scale test rig. The two aggregates examined were: (i) a sandstone from Co. Cork, Ireland and (ii) a limestone shale from Co. ... -
Cyclic loading tests on sandstone and limestone shale aggregates used in unbound forest roads.
(Construction and Building Materials, 2009-06-01)This study examined the performance of two aggregates subjected to cyclic loading in a large-scale test rig. The two aggregates examined were: (i) a sandstone from Co. Cork, Ireland and (ii) a limestone shale from Co. ... -
Cyclic performance of steel and composite bracing members
(2005)This paper describes an experimental study on the response of hollow and filled steel members to monotonic and cyclic axial loading. Monotonic tests were first performed on short specimens to establish their compressive ... -
Cyclic plasticity of welded P91 material for simple and complex power plant connections
(Elsevier, 2016-02-10)This paper focuses on with the cyclic plasticity modelling of welded, ex-service P91 material. A multi material model is developed for high temperature cyclic plasticity, including the effects of the three different material ... -
Cyclic thermo-mechanical material modelling and testing of 316 stainless steel
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-04-20)A programme of cyclic mechanical testing of a 316 stainless steel, at temperatures of up to 600 C under isothermal conditions, for the identification of material constitutive constants, has been carried out using a ... -
Cyclic viscoplasticity testing and modelling of a service-aged P91 steel
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2014-04-16)A service-aged P91 steel was used to perform an experimental program of cyclic mechanical testing in the temperature range of 400 °C–600 °C, under isothermal conditions, using both saw-tooth and dwell (inclusion of a ... -
