Low cycle fatigue research and application in nuclear industry
Sehnal, Dominik ; Kuželka, Jiří (referee) ; Hůlka, Jiří (advisor)
Fatique life extension of nuclear powerplants lies in the search for project reserves. This work deals with the evaluation of low-cycle fatigue of nuclear installations of the VVER type and the assessment of the influence of the computational model level. Fatigue tests of austenitic steel using optical method of digital image correlation for which the evaluation procedure is designed and used is performed. Selected model of plasticity with kimenatic (Chaboche) and combinated hardening (Chaboche, Voce) are calibrated from the obtained data. Subsequently, the durability of the test specimen is determined by computational modeling for different material models. From the comparison of the results of fatigue tests with the calculation, the material models suitable for the description of fatigue life and their validity are determined.

Computational modelling of the low-profile flexible support of the pad of journal bearing
Kudláčová, Martina ; Pavlík, Ondřej (referee) ; Pokorný, Jan (advisor)
Aerodynamic tilting pad journal bearings are currently one of the most widely used bearing types in high-speed rotary devices. In order to ensure better rotor stability under harsh operating conditions, research is underway on a new type of aerodynamic bearings with flexible support of tilt pads. The first chapters of this thesis are focused on an overview of bearing theory with a focus on aerodynamic bearings. The thesis presents the current state of research in the field of aerodynamic foil bearings and aerodynamic tilting pad journal bearings with an emphasis on pad support options. The aim of the final thesis is to determine the geometry of the low-profile flexible support of the pads for a specified bearing using computational modeling. A computational model was created, the results of which were verified experimentally using the method of digital image correlation (DIC). A parametric study was carried out using a computational model which allowed a comprehensive view of the issue of the dependence of the support parameters of the segment on its force and stiffness. Based on the results of the parametric study, the geometry of the low-profile flexible support of the pads for the specified bearing was determined.

Application of the DIC method in the analysis of human movement
Vogel, Arnošt ; Boháč, Petr (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis investigates the potential of using the DIC method for human motion analysis. The research section provides a description of the Digital Image Correlation technique in both 2D and 3D. Moreover, existing methods for analyzing human motion in the field of biomechanics are presented. The practical part of the thesis consists of three initial experiments, where only a few points on the human body were observed. This is followed by a final experiment that examines a more extensive field of points using the DIC method.

Determination of residual stresses from strain field around drilled hole
Horák, Richard ; Návrat, Tomáš (referee) ; Halabuk, Dávid (advisor)
The master’s thesis focuses on determining homogeneous residual stresses using the hole-drilling method. The optical method of digital image correlation (DIC) is used for measuring released strains. In order to evaluate residual stresses using the entire strain field, it is necessary to know the functional dependencies of calibration constants on this field. Therefore, a significant part of the master’s thesis includes finding these dependencies in relation to the dimensions of the drilled hole and coordinates of the measured points. Another part of the thesis deals with the evaluation of homogeneous residual stresses based on provided experimental data obtained from the measurement of uniaxially loaded steel flat bar with a through-hole. At the end of the thesis, a sensitivity analysis is performed, which examines the influence of input variables in the calculation algorithm in relation to computed residual stresses.

Comparison of crack length measurement methods utilizing digital image correlation
Dziubek, Jan ; Houfek, Lubomír (referee) ; Ščerba, Bořek (advisor)
The thesis deals with the measurement of crack length using digital image correlation. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the method of digital image correlation, crack problems, and also introduces conventional methods for measuring crack length. There are currently no universal procedures in the field of crack length measurement using DIC. Different authors have only proposed different procedures to find the crack tip. Three different methods are used to determine the crack length using digital image correlation. Use of the edge detection method in the displacement field, the inflection point search method and the deformation threshold method. The aim of this work is to describe and compare these approaches.

Detection of infill defects in 3D printed structures using the DIC method
Doležal, Tomáš ; Halabuk, Dávid (referee) ; Ščerba, Bořek (advisor)
Additive manufacturing offers wide range of advantages. However various internal defects are likely to be formed during the manufacturing process which negatively affect mechanical properties. Detection of those defects is critical to ensure that the manufactured component stays reliable and maintains its dependability throughout its whole life. The potential of the digital image correlation (DIC) method for detect detection in components manufactured using additive technologies has not yet been investigated in the literature. In this master thesis a novel non-destructive defectoscopic method for the internal defect detection in 3D printed structures is presented, based on the evaluation of the strain field obtained by the DIC method. The method was experimentally evaluated on samples with artificial internal defects fabricated by FDM technology. The samples containing defects were successfully visually detected. A convolutional neural network was then used for the defect detection and achieved a classification accuracy of 94,5 %. This methodology has a potential to provide cheap and fast detection of internal defects formed in additive manufactured components in the future although future research is still required.

Use of the DIC method in solving basic problems of solid mechanics
Hrůza, Vlastimil ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Ščerba, Bořek (advisor)
This bachelor’s theses deals with the solution of basic problems of solid mechanics using digital image correlation. The research part of the thesis presents some of the optical methods used for deformation measurement, digital image correlation in particular, whose history, principles, limitations and utilizations are described in detail. In the practical part of the theses, three experiments are carried out, which are then evaluated using digital image correlation and the results are compared with the created computational models. In the first experiment, strain on the tensile test specimens with notches is measured, the second experiment is focused on measuring strain when bending curved beams and in the final experiment, natural frequency of a fork produced by 3D printing is determined.

Computational analysis of a car axle arm opening
Procházka, Vojtěch ; Kubík, Petr (referee) ; Petruška, Jindřich (advisor)
This thesis is focused on behavior of control arm opening with bushing pressed in. The tested component is a part of control arm of a car. The parts were tested in tensile and compressive strength. Real experiments were measured by optical system Aramis during the testing to determine deformations of the part. These tests are also modeled by a finite element method using an Abaqus software. In GOM Correlate software is created full-field comparison of deformation results from Aramis and FEA. Based on this comparison computational model is calibrated. Sensitivity analysis is performed at the end of the thesis.
