    • Determination of flushing characteristics of the Irish Sea: A spatial approach 

      Dabrowski, Tomasz; Hartnett, Michael T.; Olbert, Agnieszka Indiana (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-12-08)
      The Authors devised a novel generic approach to assessing the flushing of the Irish Sea through the determination of spatially distributed residence times and the development of flushing homogeneity curves. Results indicate ...

    • A finite element-based approach for predictions of rigid pile group stiffness efficiency in clays 

      Sheil, Brian B.; McCabe, Bryan A. (Springer Verlag, 2013-08-17)
      This paper presents a finite element parametric study of several variables that affect the stiffness efficiency of rigidly capped pile groups with a view to developing a solution for preliminary design purposes. Previous ...

    • Influence of seasonal circulation on flushing of the Irish Sea 

      Dabrowski, Tomasz; Hartnett, Michael T.; Olbert, Agnieszka Indiana (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2009-12-16)
      We applied a three-dimensional general ocean and coastal circulation model to the Irish Sea in order to determine water renewal time scales in the region. The model was forced with meteorological data for 1995, a year with ...

    • Numerical modelling of pile foundation angular distortion 

      Sheil, Brian B.; McCabe, Bryan A. (Elsevier, 2015-05-16)
      In this paper, the PLAXIS 3-D Foundation finite element (FE) software package, in conjunction with the nonlinear Hardening Soil (HS) constitutive model, is employed in an extensive parametric study of the angular distortion ...

    • Numerical modelling to aid in the structural health monitoring of wave energy converters 

      Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (2013)
      A vital aspect of ensuring the cost effectiveness of wave energy converters (WECs) is being able to monitor their performance remotely through structural health monitoring, as these devices are deployed in very harsh ...

    • Numerical study of FRP reinforced timber members subjected to variable climates 

      O'Ceallaigh, Conan; Harte, Annette M. (SHATiS International Conference on Structural Health Assessment of Timber Structures, 2019-09-25)
      The use of FRP reinforcement, even in small percentages, has been shown to improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber members. This technology has been successfully used in new construction and in the repair and ...
