Advances in Numerical Modelling of Adhesive Joints

The analysis of adhesively bonded joints started in 1938 with the closed-form model of Volkersen. The equilibrium equation of a single lap joint led to a simple governing differential equation with a simple algebraic equation. However, if there is yielding of the adhesive and/or the adherends and substantial peeling is present, a more complex model is necessary. The more complete is an analysis...

Probabilistic Fault Diagnosis with Automotive Applications

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to improved diagnosis of automotive vehicles. The work is driven by case studies, where problems and challenges are identified. To solve these problems, theoretically sound and general methods are developed. The methods are then applied to the real world systems. To fulfill performance requirements automotive vehicles are becoming increasingly complex pro...

Probabilistic Language Modelling

Language models assign probabilities to strings of symbols. Their interpretation is reviewed and applied to text classification. A language recogniser is constructed from Bayes’ theorem and a simple bigram model. This provides near perfect results on sentences of text and motivates a mixture language model. Hidden Markov models (HMM) are reviewed as a method of capturing order over different le...
