Analysis Of Cracked Body Repaired By Adhesively Bonded Patches By Bem-Fem Coupling, Binh Viet Pham Jan 2018

Analysis Of Cracked Body Repaired By Adhesively Bonded Patches By Bem-Fem Coupling, Binh Viet Pham

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This thesis presents an efficient numerical technique capable of handling the stress analysis of three-dimensional cracked bodies strengthened or repaired by adhesively bonded patches. The proposed technique is implemented within the framework of the coupling of the weakly singular boundary integral equation method and the standard finite element procedure. The former is applied to efficiently treat the elastic body containing cracks whereas the latter is adopted to handle both the adhesive layers and the patches. The approximation of the near-front relative crack-face displacement is enhanced by using local interpolation functions that can capture the right asymptotic behaviour. This also offers …

Mechanical Performances Of Concrete Beams With Hybrid Usage Of Steel And Frp Reinforcement, Linh Van Hong Bui Jan 2018

Mechanical Performances Of Concrete Beams With Hybrid Usage Of Steel And Frp Reinforcement, Linh Van Hong Bui

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have been recently employed to reinforce concrete members due to their high tensile strength and especially in corrosive environments to improve the durability of concrete structures. However, FRP composites have a low modulus of elasticity and a linear elastic behavior up to rupture, thus reinforced concrete (RC) components with such materials would express a lack of ductility. In order to increase the mechanical performances of RC beams, the hybrid usage (also called combined usage) of FRP and steel reinforcements in shear and flexure is proposed. At first, an experimental investigation of concrete beams strengthened in shear …

A Scalable Shapelet Discovery For Time Series Classification, Nattakit Vichit

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

As time series data become more complex and users expect more sophisticated information, numerous algorithms have been proposed to solve these challenges. Among those algorithms to classify time series data, shapelet – a discriminative subsequence of time series data – is considered a practical approach due to its accurate and insightful classification. However, previously proposed shapelet algorithms still suffer from exceedingly high computational complexity, as a result, limiting its scalability to larger datasets. Therefore, in this work propose a novel algorithm that speeds up shapelet discovery process. The algorithm so called "Dual Increment Shapelets (DIS)" is a combination of two-layered …
