Analysis of crack behaviour under mixed-mode loading
Antalík, Adam ; Miarka, Petr (referee) ; Malíková, Lucie (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the analysis of the stress field in the vicinity of the crack tip, described by the stress intensity factor K. The objective of this thesis is to calculate values of the parameter K for a crack in a rectangular specimen subjected to asymmetric four-point bending. Thus, mixed mode I + II loading conditions occur. The first part of the thesis deals with the fracture mechanics concept. In the second part, a cracked specimen is modelled in the Ansys Mechanical APDL software. In the final part, the resulting values of the parameter K, obtained from the commands KCALC, CINT and two empirical equations, are presented. The MTS criterion is applied for estimation of the crack propagation angel and all results are discussed thoroughly.

Fracture of selected building composites in the vicinity of aggregate-matrix-interface
Vyhlídal, Michal ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
The interface between aggregate grains and matrix in cementitious composites is their weakest element. The topic is particularly significant in the case of high performance and high strength concrete technology for which the eliminination or reduction of these weak links are necessary. The aim of this thesis is to determine the influence of the interface on the fracture behaviour of the cementitious composites. The fracture experiments were performed for this purpose and were complemented by the nanoindentation’s results and scanning electron microscopy results. Numerical model was created in ANSYS software on the basis of these data and the fracture toughness values of the interface were evaluated by means of the generalized fracture mechanics principles. Conclusion of the thesis is proof that the interface properties have a significant influence on the fracture behaviour of cementitious composites.

The Influence of Specimen Thickness on Crack Initiation in the Tip of General Singular Stress Concentrator
Kopp, Dalibor ; Řoutil,, Ladislav (referee) ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Klusák, Jan (advisor)
Geometrical discontinuities, like sharp notches, appear in constructions and engineering structures and lead to stress concentrations. These technical objects are very dangerous due to the fact that they reduce the structural conformity and can lead to crack initiation. Technical objects are not always designed as homogenous bodies but can consist of two or more materials with sharp notches on the interface of these materials. The influence of free surface on crack initiation conditions is studied and assessed by means of 3D model of sharp and bi-material notches with finite thickness. Stress fields around the singular stress concentrators are calculated with finite element method and the results are evaluated by means of criterion of critical quantity. This approach is easy applicable and can be used in combination with the knowledge of basic material properties and results of finite element analysis of the assessed notches. In order to estimate weather crack will initiate from the middle of the observed notched specimen or from its free surface, the value of averaged critical applied stress was introduced. With this value it’s possible to determine the location of crack initiation thru the sample thickness. Thru the ratio of values of critical applied stress in the middle and on the free surface of the observed specimen it’s possible to quantify the influence of the free surface on the location of crack initiation. With the use of this approach it’s shown, that the location of crack initiation depends on more parameters, loading direction, the notch opening angle and the sample thickness. In case of bi-material notches it depends also on the ratio of young modulus.

Description of Crack Propagation in the Fields of Strongly Non-Homogeneous and Residual Stresses
Štegnerová, Kateřina ; Materna, Aleš (referee) ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Náhlík, Luboš (advisor)
This Ph.D. thesis was written under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Luboš Náhlík, Ph.D. and Assoc. Prof. Pavel Hutař, Ph.D. Thesis is focused mainly on application of generalized linear elastic fracture mechanics, which allows description of crack behaviour propagating from general singular stress concentrators, such as material interfaces or sharp V-notches, and verification of validity of used fracture criteria. The obtained results were used in the next part of the thesis, which deals with the issue of crack propagating in ceramic composites, where the stress distribution field is strongly influenced by the existence of material interface and presence of residual stresses, that arise during manufacturing process of composite.

MULTI-PARAMETER MTS AND SED CRITERION APPLIED ON A CRACK IN AN ALKALI-ACTIVATED CONCRETE SPECIMEN UNDER MIXED-MODE LOADING
Malíková, Lucie ; Miarka, Petr ; Simonová, H.
The paper is devoted to an analysis of a crack propagation in a semi-circular concrete specimen under three-point bending. I+II mixed-mode loading is ensured via an inclined crack. Crack deflection angle is investigated by means of the generalized/multi-parameter form of the Maximum Tangential Stress (MTS) criterion and Strain Energy Density (SED) criterion as well as experimentally. The multi-parameter fracture mechanics concept applied in this work is based on the approximation of the crack-tip stress field by means of the Williams series expansion (WE). It has been proved that this approach can help to describe crack behavior in some kinds of materials better than the classical (one-parameter: stress intensity factor) fracture mechanics. This conclusion is discussed also in this paper.

Analysis of fatigue damage accumulation of test specimens made from S690 and S960
Al Khazali, Mohammad ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Seitl, Stanislav (advisor)
This thesis study and examines the behavior of high strength steels (HSS) during fatigue utilizing S-N curves of models based on the Palmgren-Miner Rule and some invented hypotheses, such as Haibach's model, Corten-Dolan's model and Serensen-Kogajev model. Firstly, a detailed mechanical testing will be done and discussed to ensure creating a proper understanding of the two types of steel that will be the focal point of the research. The curves created are interpolated using measured data form cyclically loaded of the steel to create the relation between the number of cycles the material can withstand before reaching failure state and the level of stress applied on a variety of specimens with different homogenizes but similar characteristics. The accuracy of each model is determined for each grade of steel, the S690 and the S960. Then we will conclude by the end of the work which can be considered suitable and which not of each model and an explanation of the reasoning behind the results achieved to ensure better outcome in future related work.
