    • Design of composite tidal turbine blades 

      Grogan, David M.; Leen, Sean B.; Kennedy, Ciaran; Ó Brádaigh, Conchúr M. (2013-02-24)
      Tidal turbine blades are subjected to significant thrust and torsional loadings due to the high density ofthe seawater in which they operate. These thrust loadings lead to high bending moments at the bladeroot, which can ...

    • Rotational moulding of PEEK polymer liners with carbon fibre/PEEK over tape-placement for space cryogenic fuel tanks 

      Murray, Brendan R.; Doyle, Adrian; Feerick, P. J.; Semprimoschnig, Christopher O.A.; Leen, Sean B.; Ó Brádaigh, Conchúr M. (Elsevier, 2017-07-15)
      PEEK polymers are investigated as replacement materials for metallic liners in composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for fuel tank applications in space. A novel, integrally heated, rotational moulding tool has ...
