▼ Concrete is a commonly used construction material in both civil and military infrastructures. Over the last few decades, it has been widely demonstrated that the use of externally bonded fibre reinforced composites (FRP) is an efficient technique to strengthen such infrastructures to resist increased static loads for which they were not designed for. Nevertheless, the use of these techniques for improving the blast capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has only recently been studied. Although such studies have highlighted an effective enhancement of the bearing capacity of RC members under explosions, no particular attention has been paid to the influence of blast loading on the performance of the bonded interface. This work presents a set of experimental campaigns to investigate and quantify the influence of blast loading on the structural resistance of FRP strengthened concrete structures with the focus on the performance of the bonded joint. Primarily, this research experimentally examines the quasi-static and blast performance of RC beams with externally bonded FRP strips. Experimental findings reveal that although the structural performance is comparable between both loading cases, the failure mechanism of FRP is different. Finite element models are developed and calibrated against experimental data and used to investigate in detail the reasons behind such difference. Secondly, a combined experimental/numerical investigation is performed on the influence of externally bonded FRP strips on the damage extent of concrete subjected to contact detonations. Twenty-seven contact detonations were conducted on concrete plates to verify the influence of bonding area, mass of attached material and concrete strength. Results reveal that FRP strips have a clear influence on the damage extent of concrete. By developing a finite element model of the experimental setup, it is found that the combination of momentum transmitted to the FRP together with the bonding effect gives rise to a complementary damage mechanism, leading to larger damaged areas. Additionally, current analytical methods to predict the structural performance of RC structures under blast loading, such as the single-degree-of-freedom, rely on the assumption that full bond is kept upon the structural failure, and as such are inadequate at providing a valid prediction of structural performance when disruption of FRP is an issue, as this directly influences the establishment of force-deflection characteristics of the member. To this end, commonly accepted design approximations for the establishment of force-deformation characteristics are discussed and an innovative method is proposed. SDOF analysis are conducted using the different modelling approaches and results are compared and discussed against experimental data. This PhD thesis highlight the complex behaviour of concrete structures strengthened with externally bonded FRP under blast loading, mostly when disruption of FRP is achieved, and should dissipate the idea that a design is accurate if…

▼ This study aims to develop a precision polishing system with high machining rate efficiency. The system is mainly composed of a
loading mechanism, a work piece and a polishing pad with belt-shape. The
loading mechanism is to generate a specific pressure distribution between the pad and the work surface.ãSuch a pressure distribution is to render the machining rate distribution, along the contact zone between pad and work surface, capable of compensating the work surface error.ãWith the capability of accurately removing the work surface error left by the previous machining method, this polishing system can improve the form precision of work and become an effective high precision machining tool.
In this thesis, the relation between the applied loadings and the pressure distribution were established by the finite element method.ãA linear model described this relation with the applied
loading as the input and the desired pressure distribution as the output. The unknown coefficients of the model were then derived from the simulation data by the finite element method. When a desired pressure distribution was given, the applied loadings could be solved from the model by either the simultaneous equation method or the least squared error method.ãA main issue to investigate in the study was to examine whether a pressure distribution with an arbitrary wavelength spectrum could be obtained by the proposed scheme. A detailed analysis about the effect of wavelength in pressure distribution on the precision of
loading estimation was done.
Four conclusions could be made from the study.
1.The proposed polishing system can be applied to a free surface with either concave or convex geometrical features
2.The proposed linear model can suggest proper loadings to generate desired pressure distribution with good precision if the wavelength of pressure distribution is large enough.
3.The Shannon sampling theorem can be used to give a qualitative description of the properness of the model in generating a desired pressure distribution.
4.The proposed polishing method has a high machining repeatability when the operating condition is well controlled.

▼ The main objective of the thesis is the development of the Direct Strength Method (DSM) for the design of cold-formed steel sections under general localised loading. In order to calibrate the DSM equations, it is necessary to have three main input variables which are the buckling load, the yield load and the experimental data. The first objective of this research is the development of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) theory for analysis of thin-walled sections under localised loading with general end boundary conditions to determine the buckling load as described in Chapters 3 and 4 of the thesis. The theory is included in Version 2.0 of the THIN-WALL-2 program which can be used for analysing structural members under generalised loading conditions as described in Chapter 5. The second objective is the formulation of plastic mechanism models to estimate the yield load of thin-walled sections subjected to localised loading. In order to establish these models, observations are performed from experiments to ascertain the failure modes of structural members under localised loading with different cross-sections, load cases and flange fastening conditions. From the data, new simple plastic mechanism models are built-up based on the concept of the balance between the internal energy of the structural member and the external energy of the applied loads to estimate the yield load as described in Chapter 6. The third objective is collating the experimental data of thin-walled sections under localised loading. The data is collected from previous literature for different types of cross-sections: un-lipped plain-C, lipped plain-C, SupaCee and Dimond Hi-Span channel (DHS) sections subjected to all load cases. In addition, both flange fastened and unfastened conditions are assembled in the experimental database as described in Chapter 6. From these three input variables, the DSM design equations are proposed for structural members under general localised loading. The method is a consistent and simplified model generalised for all localised load cases. It includes both an inelastic reserve component as observed in testing and a yield load component. Also, a reliability analysis calibration is performed to validate the accuracy of the DSM predictions with the collected experimental data as described in Chapter 7.

▼ L’objectif principal de cette étude est de développer des outils de simulation numérique pour évaluer la vulnérabilité des constructions en maçonnerie sous chargements variés. Ainsi, le comportement de la maçonnerie non armée sous chargement monotone en macro- et micro-échelles est étudié. La simulation du comportement non linéaire du mur de maçonnerie avant et après le pic et la capture de son mécanisme de rupture sont les points centraux de ce travail. Tout d'abord, le mur de maçonnerie d’un panneau est remplacé par deux barres simples utilisant la stratégie des macros-éléments et un comportement tri-linéaire est proposé pour évaluer la résistance à la rupture de la paroi ainsi que son comportement avant et après le pic. L'absence de l'information sur le mécanisme de rupture du mur de maçonnerie et la relation entre le mécanisme de rupture et les propriétés mécaniques des éléments barres dans ce type de modélisation conduisent à opter pour une autre description de ces structures à savoir la stratégie de micro-modélisation. Dans cette stratégie, les unités et les mortiers sont modélisés séparément et l’ensemble du comportement inélastique du mur de maçonnerie est supposé se produire dans les mortiers. Par conséquent, une attention particulière sera accordée au développement d'une description fiable des propriétés matérielles de ces éléments à l'aide d'une loi constitutive précise. La représentation tridimensionnelle d'un mur de maçonnerie faite dans ce travail, améliore la capacité des méthodes actuelles pour prédire le comportement de la maçonnerie sous les deux chargements en plan et hors du plan. D’abord, des enveloppes de rupture comprenant la tension limite et la surface de charge de Mohr-Coulomb sont assignées à l'élément d'interface du code éléments finis GEFDyn. Ensuite, la loi de comportement est améliorée en ajoutant un seuil de compression aux surfaces de charge pour inclure l’endommagement en compression de la maçonnerie à travers l'élément d'interface. Dans le nouveau modèle élastoplastique, les écrouissages négatifs des seuils de traction et de compression ainsi que la cohésion du mortier sont pris en considération. La capacité des deux modèles pour reproduire le comportement avant et après le pic de la résistance au cisaillement du mur de maçonnerie est vérifiée en comparant les résultats numériques avec les données expérimentales. L'importance de l’interaction entre les seuils de compression et celui du cisaillement est montrée en comparant les résultats obtenus avec ceux d'un test réel. Les résultats ont révélé que le second modèle est capable de simuler le comportement du mur de maçonnerie avec une bonne précision. Ensuite, l'effet des propriétés géométriques de la paroi telles que l’existence d’une ouverture et l'élancement, les propriétés des mortiers comme la cohésion, la résistance en traction et la résistance en compression ainsi que la contrainte verticale initiale dans le mur, sur la résistance latérale et le mécanisme de rupture des murs de maçonnerie est démontré. En outre, afin de…

▼ Résumé: L’objectif de cette thèse est d’interpréter la
dégradation des aspérités des joints rocheux sous différentes
conditions de chargement. Pour cela, la variation des aspérités
durant les différentes étapes du cisaillement d’un joint rocheux
est observée. Selon le concept appelé “tiny windows”, une nouvelle
méthodologie de caractérisation des épontes des joints a été
développée. La méthodologie est basée sur les coordonnées
tridimensionnelles de la surface des joints et elles sont mesurées
après chaque essai. Après la reconstruction du modèle géométrique
de la surface du joint, les zones en contact sont identifiées à
travers la comparaison des hauteurs des “tiny windows” superposées.
Ainsi, la distribution des zones de la surface en contact,
endommagées et sans contact ont été identifiées. La méthode
d’analyse d’image a été utilisée pour vérifier les résultats de la
méthodologie proposée. Les résultats indiquent que cette méthode
est appropriée pour déterminer la taille et la distribution des
surfaces du joint en contact et endommagées à différentes étapes du
cisaillement. Un ensemble de 38 répliques ont été préparées en
coulant du mortier sans retrait sur une surface de fracture obtenue
à partir d’un bloc de granite. Différentes conditions de
chargement, incluant des chargements statiques et cycliques ont été
appliquées afin d’étudier la dégradation des aspérités à
différentes étapes du procédé de cisaillement. Les propriétés
géométriques des “tiny windows” en contact en phase pré-pic, pic,
post-pic et résiduelle ont été analysées en fonction de leurs
angles et de leurs auteurs. Il a été remarqué que les facettes des
aspérités faisant face à la direction de cisaillement jouent un
rôle majeur dans le cisaillement. Aussi, il a été observé que les
aspérités présentent différentes contributions dans le
cisaillement. Les aspérités les plus aigües (“tiny windows” les
plus inclinées) sont abîmées et les aspérités les plus plates
glissent les unes sur les autres. Les aspérités d’angles
intermédiaires sont définies comme “angle seuil endommagé” et
“angle seuil en contact”. En augmentant la charge normale, les
angles seuils diminuent d’une part et, d’autre part, le nombre de
zones endommagées et en contact augmentent. Pour un petit nombre de
cycles (avec faible amplitude et fréquence), indépendamment de
l’amplitude, une contraction apparaît ; par conséquent, la surface
en contact et les paramètres de résistance au cisaillement
augmentent légèrement. Pour un grand nombre de cycles, la
dégradation est observée à l’échelle des aspérités de second ordre,
d’où une baisse des paramètres de résistance au cisaillement. Il a
été aussi observée que les “tiny windows” avec différentes
inclinaisons contribuent au processus de cisaillement, en plus des
“tiny windows” les plus inclinées (aspérités plus aigües). Les
résultats de la méthode proposée montrent que la différenciation
entre les zones en contact et celles endommagées s’avère utile pour
une meilleure compréhension du mécanisme de cisaillement des joints
rocheux.

▼ Abstract: The objective of the current research is to interpret the asperity degradation of rock joints under different
loading conditions. For this aim, the changes of asperities during different stages of shearing in the three-dimensional joint surface are tracked. According to a concept named ‘tiny window’, a new methodology for the characterization of the joint surfaces was developed. The methodology is based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the joints surface that are captured before and after each test. After the reconstruction of geometric models of joint surface, in-contact areas were identified according to the height comparison of the face to face tiny windows. Therefore, the distribution and size of just in-contact areas, in-contact damaged areas and not in-contact areas are identified. Image analysis method was used to verify the results of the proposed method. The results indicated that the proposed method is suitable for determining the size and distribution of the contact and damaged areas at any shearing stage. A total of 38 replicas were prepared by pouring non-shrinking cement mortar on a fresh joint surface of a split granite block. Various
loading conditions include monotonic and cyclic
loading were applied to study the asperities degradation at different stages of shearing. The geometric properties of the in-contact tiny windows in the pre-peak, peak, post-peak softening and residual shearing stages were investigated based on their angle and height. It was found that those asperities facing the shear direction have the primary role in shearing. It is remarkable that different part of these asperities has their own special cooperation in shearing. The steepest parts (steeper tiny windows) are wore and the flatter parts (flatter tiny windows) are slid. The borderlines between these tiny windows defined as “damaged threshold angle” and “in-contact threshold angle”. By increasing normal load, both the amounts of threshold angles are decreased and contact and damaged areas increased. During low numbers of cycles (with low amplitude and frequency), independent of the type of cycle, contraction occurs and consequently the contact area and the shear strength parameters slightly increased. During larger number of cycles, degradation occurred on the second order asperities, therefore the shear strength parameters slowly decreased. It was also observed that tiny windows with different heights participate in the shearing process, not just the highest ones. The results of the proposed method indicated that considering differences between just in-contact areas and damaged areas provide useful insights into understanding the shear
mechanism of rock joints.

▼ Tire testing has been one of the important aspects of the tire industry because it helps identify the tire behavior which further helps in improving the design of tires. It also helps automotive manufacturers choose the best tire for their automobiles. Indoor tire testing helps in relating the data better because of greater repeatability of the testing setup as compared to outdoor testing. This study focusses on modifying a rolling resistance machine to make it capable of force and moment and cleat testing along with the standard rolling resistance test. Additionally, the design of a mechanical
loading mechanism (used to apply normal force on the tire) in place of the previous one using dead weights is also discussed.
This study also talks about the structural and vibrational finite element analysis of a tire testing machine. Since the machine was designed to conduct different tire tests, different structural requirements of the tire positioning
mechanism pertaining to each test were taken into consideration, and the structure was analyzed for maximum forces and moments acting on the assembly. Cleat testing subjects the tire as well as the structure to an impulse force which calls for the vibrational analysis of the assembly to avoid the structure from resonating.
The design was modified to get it easily manufactured and assembled. These design changes and the aspects taken into consideration have also been discussed.

▼ Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to propose an array of novel cooperative content delivery (CCD) methods and related incentive mechanisms for future fifth-generation (5G) and beyond networks. CCD using multiple air interfaces is a powerful solution to mitigate the problem of congestion in wireless networks, in which the available multiple air interfaces on smart devices are utilized intelligently to distribute data content among a group of users that are in the vicinity of one another. The requirements for higher capacity, reliability, and energy efficiency in the 5G networks have warranted the development of methods focusing on CCD. Moreover, critical to the efficiency of a CCD process are incentive mechanisms to induce cooperation among the mobile users engaged in CCD.
The first part of the thesis studies an ideal condition of reliable and error-free distribution of content using cellular and short-range links. The main contribution is to introduce different device selection CCD methods that take into account only the link quality of the devices’ primary (cellular) interfaces. The proposed methods provide frequency carrier savings for the operator while allowing users to enjoy higher downlink rates. The second part of the thesis studies a more realistic CCD situation where users with low data rate wireless links can be a bottleneck in terms of CCD performance. The main contribution is to propose a novel device selection CCD method that considers the link quality of both primary (cellular) and secondary (short-range) interfaces of the devices. Additionally, a carrier aggregation-based incentive mechanism for the proposed method is introduced to address the challenge of selfish deviating users. The proposed mechanism maximizes individual and network payoffs, and is an equilibrium against unilateral selfish deviations.
The third part of the thesis addresses the adverse selection problem in CCD scenarios. The operator is assumed to have incomplete information about the willingness of the users to participate in CCD. The main contribution is to introduce contract-based methods through which the operator could motivate users to reveal their true willingness towards participation. The proposed methods incentivize users according to their willingness and improve system performance in terms of the utility of the operator and the users.
Tiivistelmä
Tämän väitöskirjan tavoitteena on kehittää menetelmiä yhteistyössä tapahtuvaan sisällön jakamiseen (cooperative content delivery, CCD) sekä siihen liittyviä kannustinmekanismeja viidennen sukupolven (5G) ja sen jälkeisille matkaviestinverkoille. CCD:n käyttö hyödyntämällä älylaitteessa olevia useita ilmarajapintoja on tehokas ratkaisu välttää langattomien verkkojen ruuhkautumista. CCD-menetelmissä laiteen ilmarajapintoja käytetään älykkäästi datan jakamiseen käyttäjäryhmälle, kun käyttäjät ovat lähellä toisiaan. 5G-verkkojen vaatimukset korkeammalle kapasiteetille, luotettavuudelle ja energiatehokkuudelle ovat motivoineet CCD-menetelmien kehitystyötä. Erityisen tärkeää…

▼ Helical piles are a deep foundation system that can be used to support pipelines, telecommunication and transmission towers, and low- and medium-rise buildings. Advantages of helical piles include: short installation time with minimal noise and vibration levels; can be installed with ease in limited accessibility site; and onsite quality control by measurement of installation torque.
The main objective of the current research is to assess the performance of steel fibre-reinforced helical pulldown micropiles (RHPM), and fibre-reinforced polymer-steel fibre- reinforced pulldown micropiles (FRP-RHPM) under axial and lateral monotonic and cyclic loading conditions.
The research methodology involved conducting full scale field testing on: one plain helical pile, 12 RHPM and 12 FRP-RHPM. Piles were subjected to axial static and one-way cyclic loading, and lateral static and two-way cyclic loading. The axial test results were then used to calibrate a three-dimensional finite element model. To calibrate the lateral test results, moment-rigidity curves for the tested piles were generated through three-dimensional finite element models. Along with test results, these curves were used to calibrate a finite difference model.
The experimental investigation under axial loads shows that these pile systems behave as composite pile systems. The grout shaft significantly improves the helical pile axial performance. Cyclic loads resulted in degradation of the shaft resistance, however, resulted in an improvement of the lead section resistance. The overall pile cyclic response was found to stabilize after a few cycles of loading. Finally, the cyclic loading was found to improve the axial capacity of these systems.
The experimental investigation under lateral loads shows that the grout shaft and/or the FRP sleeve significantly improve the plain helical pile lateral performance and ductility. Two-way cyclic loading resulted in overall degradation in pile stiffness and capacity.
A design procedure for FRP-RHPM and RHPM under axial compression loading conditions is presented. For the lateral direction, a series of design charts that can be used in conjunction with available numerical programs to design such systems are provided.
In general, the RHPM and FRP-RHPM are viable foundation options for axial and lateral monotonic and cyclic loading applications.

▼ Dans le domaine du forgeage à chaud de pièces aéronautiques, les matrices en acier sont couramment rechargées, sur quelques millimètres d’épaisseur, par un alliage base cobalt (Stellite 21) déposé par procédé de soudage à l’arc (MIG). Dans le cadre de ce travail de thèse, ce rechargement « classique» est comparé à des rechargements Stellite 21 et Stellite 6 déposés par deux procédés émergents dans ce domaine, le PTA et le LASER. L’objectif est d’apporter des éléments de compréhension aux mécanismes d’endommagement de surface, notamment par écoulement plastique, de ces différents rechargements afin de dégager des voies d’amélioration pour augmenter la durée de vie des matrices. Pour cela, des essais tribologiques (semi-industriels et laboratoire) ont été mis en œuvre pour créer des endommagements de surface comparables à ceux observés sur matrices industrielles. Associées à ces essais, des investigations microstructurales, structurales et mécaniques multi-échelles ont été réalisées (traction, flexion, microdureté, MO, MEB, MEB-STEM, DRX, EBSD). Selon les couples « nuance/procédé » de rechargement, des mécanismes de déformation plastique par glissement des dislocations parfaites et par transformation de phase CFC en HC ont été identifiés. L’activation de ce dernier a pu être reliée à la température de transformation allotropique CFC/HC du cobalt. Cette température dépend à la fois (i) des éléments d’addition, variant en fonction de la nuance déposée (Cr, C,...), (ii) de la dilution (variation de la teneur en Fe) liée aux paramètres de soudage et (iii) du nombre de couches déposées. De plus, une influence significative de la transformation de phase sur l’évolution du coefficient de frottement a été mise en évidence. En effet, dans le cas où la transformation de phase n’est pas observée, le coefficient de frottement est stable durant l'essai alors qu'une chute de la courbe de coefficient de frottement a été reliée avec la transformation de phase CFC en HC. Parallèlement, l'écoulement plastique des dendrites est observé en extrême surface sur quelques dizaines de micromètre d'épaisseur dans la direction de glissement. Cet écoulement est associé à une forte texturation morphologique et cristallographique de la phase identifiée (CFC ou HC), avec une orientation des plans de plus grande densité atomique parallèlement à la surface de glissement. Les résultats montrent également que sous sollicitations tribologiques, un important durcissement est observé en surface (jusqu'à 90%) et une corrélation a pu être établie entre l'augmentation de la microdureté et le taux de déformation plastique.

▼ Biofiltration has developed into a promising
technology for the abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
odors, and hazardous air pollutants in waste gas streams. Many
factors, however, are still creating an environment for greater
innovation as well as new products for biofiltration processes.
Rotating drum biofilters (RDBs) are such an innovation. The
objectives of this investigation are to develop and understand RDBs
and consequently to design and operate RDBs properly. Three RDBs, a
single-layer RDB, a multi-layer RDB, and a hybrid RDB, were
developed and evaluated at various design and operation conditions
in this investigation. Spongy medium that was used to support the
biofilms was mounted on a cylindrical drum frame that was rotated
at a preset speed. Diethyl ether, toluene, and hexane were chosen
as the model VOC. Results showed that the RDBs were readily started
up and removed VOCs with high water solubility and a low value of
Henry' constant efficiently with more than 6 month duration without
any biomass control measures. The single-layer and hybrid RDBs
usually reach the lowest and highest VOC removal efficiency. VOC
removal efficiency decreased with increased VOC
loading rate and
decreased gas empty contact time (EBCT). Nitrate in the liquid
phase of the RDBs can be rate-limiting for diethyl ether removal.
With increased drum rotating speed, the change in VOC removal
efficiency depends on VOC properties, VOC
loading rate, drum
rotating speed value, and biofilter configurations. The microbial
community structure along medium depth are almost identical for
each of the RDBs , however, the structure changes with the
operation conditions and biofilter configuration. Review of the
biomass accumulation rates among different layers reveals four
biomass accumulation patterns which represent different removal
mechanisms: surface biofiltration, in-depth biofiltration, shallow
biofiltration, and reverse biofiltration. The dominant biomass
accumulation pattern in an RDB can be predicted and can, to a
certain extent, be controlled.
Mechanism-based procedures for
biofilter design and operation are consequently proposed. The
outcome of this research is critical for understanding the rotating
drum biofiltration, properly designing and operating RDBs, and
consequently rendering RDBs cost-effective for the control of VOC
emissions.
