Role of Plasticity in Nitinol Fatigue
Shayanfard, Pejman ; Seiner,, Hanuš (oponent) ; Dlouhý, Antonín (oponent) ; Šandera, Pavel (vedoucí práce)
This doctoral thesis deals with the analysis of the role of stress risers in NiTi elements on the local cyclic evolutions of martensitic transformation, plastic deformations, and mechanical gradients at the stress risers, under both iso-thermal cyclic loading in the superelastic regime and thermal cycling under external load in actuator regime. The methodology of investigation includes both experimental measurements and finite element simulations of notched thin NiTi superelastic/shape-memory ribbons. In the experimental part of the work, the DIC method is used to capture the spatial evolutions of strain gradients around the notch, and the X-ray microdiffraction is used to analyze the local strain fields around the notch and the plasticity induced remnant martensite at the notch-tip. Besides, the finite element results help assess the corresponding evolutions of stresses and strains, martensitic transformation, and the partitioning of total strains into elastic, plastic and residual strains around the notch. In addition, the thesis includes numerical analysis investigating the effect of the design of self-expanding NiTi stents on local cyclic evolution of martensitic transformation and its relation to fatigue performance.

Kvantifikace zvyšování houževnatosti kompozitů typu sklená matrice/korundové destičky
Kotoul, M. ; Pokluda, J. ; Šandera, P. ; Dlouhý, Ivo ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Boccaccini, A. R.
Zhouževnaťující mechanismy probíhající na čele trhliny byly studovány na kompozitu s borosilikátovou matricí vyztuženou korundovými destičkami. Lomová houževnatost byla určena pomocí metody chevronového vrubu. Faktografická analýza byla využita k identifikaci zhouževnaťujících mechanismů u kompozitů s různým podílem výztuže. Parametry drsnosti povrchu byly sledovány s cílem najít relaci mezi vzniklým lomovým povrchem a lomovou houževnatostí. Teoretické výpočty lomové houževnatosti založené na modelu odklonu trhlin byly kombinovány s vlivem modulu pružnosti a byli v dobrém souladu s experimentálními výsledky. Použitý model byl dále rozšířen tak, aby zachycoval synergii odklonu trhliny se zbytkovým pnutím.

Ab initio simulation of three-axial deformation of perfect iron crystal
Černý, M. ; Šandera, P. ; Pokluda, J. ; Friák, Martin ; Šob, Mojmír
Ab initio electronic structure calculations of ideal strength, bulk modulus and equilibrium lattice parameter of iron in the body-centered-cubic lattice under three-axial tension are performed using the linear muĆn-tin orbitals method in atomic sphere ap proximation (LMTO-ASA) and the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves method (FLAPW). Magnetic ordering was taken into account by means of spin-polarized calculation. Two exchange-correlation energy approximations were employed, namely the local (spin) den-sity approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Computed values are compared with experimental data.
