Nanocomposites with a metal matrix
Chlupová, Monika ; Kohout, Jan (referee) ; Zapletal, Josef (advisor)
This baechelor thesis is focused on metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs), whose research has started recently. In the first part of this thesis are generally defined composite materials, the larger part is dedicated to metal matrix composites (MMCs), on which are described the strengthening mechanisms that are also applied to MMNCs. The second part of the thesis is focused specifically on MMNCs. The concept of MMNCs and their distribution is defined first, followed by a definition of the reinforcement that can be used for the production of MMNCs. There are also described the posibilities for the production of these reinforcing phases, and their influence on the structural and mechanical properties of the final MMNCs. This section is followed by a description of possible processes of MMNCs production with their advantages and limitations. The last part outlines how research and development of these materials should be carried out in order to be commercially produced and used in the future.

Fracture Behaviour of Steels and Their Welds for Power Industry
Al Khaddour, Samer ; Kohout, Jan (referee) ; Válka, Libor (referee) ; Dlouhý, Ivo (advisor)
Práce byla zaměřena na ověření platnosti koncepce master křivky pro hodnocení heterogenních svarových spojů, resp. teplotně stárnutých svarů. Současně bylo cílem disertace vyvinout kvantitativní model pro predikci referenční teploty lokalizující tranzitní oblast na teplotní ose za použití dat získaných z tahové zkoušky, a to za použití metody umělých neuronových sítí. Studie je současně zaměřena na heterogenní svarový spoj připravený tavným svařováním. Je zacílena na hodnocení lomového chování v tranzitní oblasti nejméně odolné části svaru, tj. tepelně ovlivněné zóny ferritické oceli v blízkosti zóny natavení s vysokolegovaným materiálem. Pro predikci referenční teploty master křivky je použita zmíněná metoda neuronových sítí, a to za použití dat z tahových zkoušek a měření tvrdosti. Predikovaná referenční teplota byla ověřována na základě výsledku experimentálních měření. Vytvoření modelu za použití neuronových sítí vyžaduje dostatečné množství dat a není vždy snadno tuto podmínku splnit. V případě sledovaného problému to znamenalo použití dat z dostatečně věrohodných zdrojů (skupiny Křehký lom ÚFM AVČR) a se známou metalurgickou historií. Smysl práce je tak možno spatřovat ve vývoji modelu neuronové sítě, která bude dostatečně přesně predikovat referenční teplotu. Celkově byla pro tyto účely použita data z 29 nízkolegovaných ocelí. Pro účely vývoje byly použity kromě hladkých zkušebních tyčí, rovněž tahové zkoušky s obvodovým vrubem testované při kritické teplotě křehkosti (mez makroplastických deformací) a při teplotě pokojové. Při tvorbě modelu byla postupně v různých kombinacích využita všechna data z uvedených zkoušek. Studie ukázala, že referenční teplota charakterizující tranzitní chování lomové houževnatosti oceli s převažující feritickou strukturou je jedinečným parametrem predikovatelným na základě vybraných charakteristik tahových zkoušek.

Influence of a Free Surface and Gradient Change of Material Properties on a Crack Behaviour
Ševčík, Martin ; Kohout, Jan (referee) ; Klusák, Jan (referee) ; Náhlík, Luboš (advisor)
This thesis was written under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Luboš Náhlík, Ph.D. and Assoc. Prof. Pavel Hutař, Ph.D. The topic of this thesis is the study of a free surface effect and gradient change of material properties on a crack behavior. The common theme of the work is a fracture mechanics description of a crack behavior near a material nonhomogeneity. Here, the material nonhomogeneity can be understood either as a boundary of a body (interface between body and surrounding) or as a continuous change of material properties. The thesis is introduced by a review part where the state-of-the-art of the concerned topic is described. This part presents several stress state descriptions in the vicinity of some general singular stress concentrators, particularly a crack and a V-notch. The influence of the free surface on a fatigue crack front shape is discussed here. The review part follows with the fracture mechanics description of the graded materials. The problem formulation and the main aims of the thesis are stated in the following chapter. The core of this work is the fracture mechanical description of a crack propagating near the material nonhomogeneity. The thesis focuses on a stress field description near the free surface of the body where a change in a type of the singular stress field occurs. Methods used in generalized fracture mechanics are applied here to describe the stress field near the free surface. The difference between crack behavior in thin-walled and thick-walled structures is shown and supplied by relevant examples. Methods and procedures used are later utilized for estimation of a crack behavior in graded structures. The thesis is concluded by the discussion of obtained results in appropriate context.

Microscopic Observations of Active Mass Structures of the Negative Electrode of a Lead-Acid Battery
Zimáková, Jana ; Dostál, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kohout,, Jan (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
This doctoral dissertation deals with the study of the effect of additives on the properties of the negative electrode of a lead-acid battery. The work focuses on the investigation of the additive/base material interface for the negative electrode (so-called active mass) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). A lead sheet was used as the base material, on which the given additive was applied. The effects of carbon, TiO2, glass fibers and Indulin AT were specifically investigated. The negative electrode was cycled by a potentiostat in a defined manner and the morphology of the electrode surface was continuously scanned by AFM. This created a time sequence of images on which events on the surface of the electrode during its charging/discharging were captured. These records serve to better understand the effect of additives on the resulting properties of constructed lead-acid cells, specifically on the ability to form or dissolve PbSO4 crystals, which are formed during cell discharge and are responsible for the decrease in total capacity - gradual surface sulfation.

Development of Long-pitch Corrugation in Curves of Small Radii
Valehrach, Jan ; Kohout,, Martin (referee) ; Lidmila,, Martin (referee) ; Plášek, Otto (advisor)
Throughout the operation, the rails are worn and deteriorate. With the increasing speed of rolling stock, along with higher track loads and especially in the vicinity of major traffic hubs with a higher frequency of trains, defects that did not occur to such an extent before or were not considered to be significant, are brought to the forefront of the concerns of track infrastructure managers. Even though these defects are not directly restrictive to traffic operation, they are, in any case, a source of noise and vibration. One of these defects on the railway track is the micro-geometry defect of the running surface of the railhead. In directional curves with radii of less than 600 m or 700 m, defects known as long-pitch corrugation occur on the inner rail. In curves with 300 m or smaller radii, these waves are so distinct that they are a significant source of noise and vibration. In particular, vibrations affect the track surroundings and the track itself, as they cause other defects in the track structure. This dissertation deals with long-pitch corrugation, focusing on the monitoring of wave generation and development over time. The verification of the possibility to track the development of slip waves over time is the basis for possible future models predicting the development of defects. Numerous measurements of geometric parameters of the track and microgeometry of the railheads, specifically slip waves, have been carried out in the framework of the problem. Using RMS and peak-to-peak methods, the rate of development of defects over time and the relationship with other track parameters were evaluated. Based on the obtained development curves, intervals for further maintenance interventions were estimated. A part of the thesis focuses on the deficiency or excess of cant concerning the development of long-pitch corrugation.
