The thesis addresses a crucial structural topic: the study of the behavior of short-length superimposed joints in reinforced concrete elements, the resulting reduction in strength and ductility, and the implications for the seismic performance of structures. The research's scientific value lies in its integrated approach, combining behavioral prediction using modern techniques, experimental investigation of the effectiveness of strengthening and restoring methods for structural elements, and numerical analysis to evaluate seismic behavior. The diversity of the study's focus, along with its correlation between the local behavior of the superimposed joint and the overall performance of structural elements and structures, are among the thesis's most significant strengths. This enhances its scientific value and supports its practical applications in the design and evaluation of reinforced concrete structures.

Open circuit fault localization in dual active bridge based simultaneous battery charging systems using multi label classification

Research Abstract

This paper presents a multi-label fault localization framework for open-circuit fault diagnosis in a three-port Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter using deep learning. The proposed method leverages time-frequency features extracted from midpoint voltage signals through the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to generate multi-channel scalogram images. These images are then used to train a ResNet-18 convolutional neural network (CNN) for simultaneous detection and localization of single and multiple switch faults. The dataset was generated under various state-of-charge (SOC) and fault timing conditions to ensure comprehensive coverage of the converter. Simulation results demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy, with both micro- and macro-F₁ scores exceeding 99% on unseen test data. Compared to an equivalent multi-class ResNet-18 classifier, the proposed multi-label network achieved approximately 3% higher macro-F₁ score and better generalization to simultaneous fault conditions. Moreover, the model generalizes effectively to three-switch faults, achieving a micro-F₁ score of approximately 85% despite being trained only on single- and two-switch cases. Robustness analyses further confirm stable performance under dead-time variations, measurement noise, and sensor reduction, maintaining over 92% F₁-score accuracy with only two voltage sensors. In addition, real-time performance evaluation shows that the proposed framework achieves an online diagnosis latency of 136.8 ms. These findings highlight the model’s effectiveness for fault diagnosis in multi-port power converters.
