Computational analysis of auxetic structures application potential in impact absorbers
Dohnal, Jakub ; Skalka, Petr (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
Master thesis deals with the analysis of the application potential of auxetic materials in the field of shock absorption (absorption of impact energy). Due to their cellular structure and specific geometry, these materials are characterized by a negative Poisson’s ratio, which means that they are able to reduce their transverse dimension under compressive stress in the longitudinal direction. The aim of this work is to use this interesting property for the absorption of kinetic energy. After the introduction, devoted to the theoretical basis and research in the field of auxetic structures, a numerical FEM model is described in detail. The task of the model is to study the mechanical response of auxetic and conventional cellular structure to an impact loading. An explicit solver in the commercial software LS-DYNA is used to numerically simulate fast processes. The results of the analyses are used to compare auxetic and conventional structures and quantify the differences in their ability to dampen the kinetic energy of the impact effectively and gently. It also serves to demonstrate the influence of individual geometric or material parameters on impact attenuation. At the end of the work, numerical simulations are confronted with available experiments in order to verify the informative value of computational models and to point out the application potential of auxetic structures in the discussion. There are also partial recommendations for their design so that they best serve the intended purpose.
Computational analysis of the ball-on-three-balls test for determination of strength of ceramic laminates with residual stresses
Venský, Jiří ; Majer, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá numerickou simulací B3B zkoušky. Byla provedena rešerše v souvisejících oblastech. Poté byly provedeny numerické simulace této zkoušky pro mnoho různých konfigurací (rovný, zakřivený a zakřivený vrstvený vzorek) pro disk a desku. Byla zjištěna hyperbolická závislost mezi tloušťkou a f faktorem. Závislost f faktoru na křivosti byla lineární. Byla provedena demonstrace možnosti prasknutí na rozhraní vrstev. Poslední část ukázala, jak by zanedbání vlivu zbytkového napětí mohlo vést ke špatnému vyhodnocování experimentů
Influence of notches under cyclic high-frequency fatigue loading
Kozáková, Kamila ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Klusák, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the evaluation of the lifetimes of smooth and notched specimens. The comparison of their lifetimes is focused on the case of high-frequency cyclic loading in the area of high-cycle and gigacycle fatigue of materials. The theory of critical distances is used to evaluate and recalculate the life curves of the notched specimens. The effect of the notch is quantified using the Line method. The critical length parameter is determined so that the life curve of the notched specimens corresponds to the curve measured on smooth specimens. The result is the dependence of the critical length parameter on the number of cycles to fracture. Knowledge of critical length parameters can be used to determine the lifetime of notched specimens as well as real notched components using the results of fatigue tests of smooth specimens.
Determination of the elastic characteristics of highly-porous materials by means of the impulse excitation technique
Kollmann, Marek ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
The bachelor thesis dealt with the application of pulse excitation technique (IET) to determine the elastic characteristics of highly-porous materials. The first part explained the principle of this method together with the arguments for use outside the conditions given by the standard. In the next part, a model of foam structure with open porosity based on Kelvin cell was created in ANSYS software. The influence of porosity and cell size on its elastic characteristics was determined on the model. It was showed to agree with the theory according to Gibson and Ashby. The result of the work was the evaluation of the possibility of using IET to determine these characteristics, these results were then compared with the experimental values. It turned out that the IET provides the correct information about the stiffness of the model.
Modelling and analysis of auxetic materials response on the mechanical loading
Vítek, Tomáš ; Skalka, Petr (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on auxetic materials, especially on their response on the mechanical loading. Historical development, significant mechanical properties, different ways of modelling and possible practical applications of these materials are described in the research part of the thesis. The computational part deals with the detailed analysis of selected auxetic structures in order to evaluate their elastic properties depending on different geometric parameters and also on the magnitude of applied deformation. Computational modelling is primarily performed using the software ANSYS Mechanical APDL based on the finite element method (FEM). This method is briefly explained in one chapter. In the following part of the thesis the process of creating a parametric model and reducing the whole structure to a minimum geometry size (a part of a basic unit) is described. A detailed explanation of generating the mesh and setting appropriate boundary conditions is also included together with the results evaluation. Elastic properties obtained by numerical simulations are then compared to available analytical model. Dependencies of elastic properties are presented for a wide range of values of selected geometric parameters and applied deformations of the structure considering small and large deformation regimes. An influence of these parameters on a structure response during the mechanical loading is discussed based on these dependencies. At the end of the thesis the values of elastic properties computed using a finite element method are confronted to the experimental data available in the literature and the validity of the computational model is considered based on this comparison.

Proposal of topology of piezoceramic composite sensor
Dostal, Vojtěch ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Majer, Zdeněk (advisor)
This master thesis deals with design and numerical modelling of piezoceramic sensor, which is placed on a rail, in order to generate electrical energy, which can be used for wireless monitoring of railway traffic and to monitor the condition of the railway. The thesis is divided into three parts. Theoretically background of piezoelectric energy harvesting is described in first part, where some previous application of piezoelectric generator in railway area are shown. In the second part, parametric analysis of numerical model is performed, which directly leads to finding best location on a rail, where piezoelectric generator should be placed. For this analysis the homogenized model of MFC sensor was used. Results of the numerical model were then compared with the results of the conducted experiment. The third part presented own design of piezoceramic sensor, which is placed onto most suitable location on a rail. Results from numerical analysis shown eligibility of using piezoceramic sensor to monitor the railway traffic.
Computational simulation of the compression test of the open cell metal foam
Homola, Václav ; Skalka, Petr (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
The thesis presents computational simulation of compression test of a nickel foam and the 3D reconstruction of micro-CT images was utilized to generate the foam’s model of geometry. Explicit FEM is used to simulate compression test using software tool LS-DYNA and the stress–deformation curve is obtained together with deformed model’s mesh used for subsequent analysis. Sensitivity analyses were performed to configure the model and ensure best fit with values obtained during real-life experiment. The ANSYS Classic environment was then used to simulate tensile test of the foam compressed to various thicknesses. The tensile moduli in three mutually perpendicular directions of nickel foam were computed and the results were compared to experimental values as well. The results of tensile test simulation revealed considerable anisotropy of the foam’s elastic behavior. It can be said that the measured experimental data correspond very well with the elastic properties obtained from simulation up to certain level of compression. Analysis of the relationship between the element size and tensile moduli showed a significant difference between fine and coarse mesh. The optimal level of discretization and the overall model configuration ensuring high level of accuracy is proposed in this thesis.
