Evaluation of fracture test of selected core-drilled cylindrical specimen
Halfar, Petr ; Sobek, Jakub (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with effective crack model for a cylinder specimen with an chevron-shaped notch, loaded by a three-point bending. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and the it describes the use of fracture mechanics for quasi-brittle materials – concrete and rocks. Furthermore there is described the linear elastic fracture mechanics and founding the geometry function for a different geometries of fracture tests. The second part describes the FEM program, which was used to calculate the fracture parameters, that were used to determine the length of the effective crack and how the program was tested before it was used. The last part describe calculations of fracture toughness by using the effective crack model on selected rock and concrete specimens.

Basic features of aggregate-matrix-interface fracture of selected building composites
Vyhlídal, Michal ; Seitl, Stanislav (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
The aim of this work is to analyze the behavior of cement composite, depending on the features of ITZ. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and deals with the origin and features of ITZ, defines the basic relationships and concepts of continuum mechanics and linear elastic fracture mechanics and presents crack tips posibilities in the three-phase composite, including their short characterization. The second part is practical and describes creation of numerical model in the ANSYS software, presentation of partial results and compare of them. The result of this work is a comparison of the mean values of stress and amplitude of stress depending on the features of ITZ.

Short fatigue crack propagation description
Trávníček, Lukáš ; Náhlík, Luboš (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
The presented master’s thesis deals with description of short fatigue cracks and can be divided to the several parts. In the first part, theoretical background of fatigue of materials and fracture mechanics parameters which can describe fatigue cracks is presented. Following part describes how to determine fracture mechanics parameters by finite elements method. Due to the shape of propagated fatigue crack, numerical model was established as a three-dimensional. Results obtained based on this model, was compared with literature with very good agreement. Than real shape of propagated short crack was used for description of the experimental data. It was shown, that plastic part of J-integral is suitable parameter for description of the short cracks.

Crack in prismatic bars
Meňhert, Samuel ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Profant, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with summarization of information about fracture mechanics mainly with methods which estimate stress intensity factors. They play an important role in determination of behavior of cracks in engineering process. The main goal of this thesis will be familiarization with Kienzler hypothesis which deals with strain energy release rate and internal effects in a point of disrupted cross section and comparison with classic K-concept, when the stress intensity factors are determined by infinite series.

Analysis of crack propagation using J-integral
Bónová, Kateřina ; Květoň, Josef (referee) ; Eliáš, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on importance and application of J-integral in crack propagation analysis. J-integral is a method of fracture mechanics used to determine the strain energy release rate. In other words it provides the amount of energy available for crack propagation in elastic and elasto-plastic materials. The thesis presents derivations of relations between J-integral, crack driving force and stress intensity factor. The most important contribution of this thesis is detailed analytical calculation of the J-integral on simple structures. The results are verified by numerical models in ANSYS.

Advanced evaluation of fracture tests of selected rock specimens
Kubeš, Pavel ; Veselý, Václav (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the advanced evaluation of fracture tests of selected rock (sandstone) specimens. The first part describes several fracture models/methods, fracture-mechanical parameters, process and configuration of the tests, used specimens and the procedure of data processing using the program GTDiPS. The second part contains neatly sorted evaluation of load-displacement diagrams. The results of the work are calculated fracture-mechanical parameters of various sandstones and their mutual comparison.

Fatigue crack front shape estimation
Zouhar, Petr ; Klusák, Jan (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
The presented master’s thesis deals with fatigue crack front shape estimation. The aim of this thesis is to create an iterative process leading to the real fatigue crack front shape. Thesis is solved using finite element method. The work is divided into two logical parts. The first part of the thesis describes the basic concepts of linear elastic fracture mechanic (LEFM), methods used for estimation of stress intensity factor and stress singularity exponent. The first part further describes some phenomenon’s accompanying the mechanism of fatigue crack growth as for example crack tip curving and crack closure. In the second part of the thesis there is studied an affect of the free surface on the fracture parameters, especially the affected distance from the free surface is determined. Based on the assumption of a constant stress intensity factor and stress singularity exponent along the crack front, an iterative process leading to fatigue crack front shape is presented. The accuracy of the result is discussed by comparing of obtained crack front shapes with experimental data at the end of the thesis.

On the Problems of LEFM of Composite Materials
Kopp, Dalibor ; Profant, Tomáš (referee) ; Klusák,, Jan (advisor)
The objects of this bachelor thesis is to familiarize oneself with the basics of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) of homogeneous materials and to specify these problems for composite materials. The work is divided into three parts. The first part is aimed at the basics of LEFM. The second part is concerned with generalization of LEFM. The third part is oriented to the numerical application of the studied problems to notches composed of two orthotropic materials.

Parameters of Fracture Mechanics
Oplt, Tomáš ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Horníková, Jana (advisor)
This thesis is the descriptive summary for the most significant parameters of fracture mechanics, required to define stress field on the crack tip. The first and also the most extensive part is divided into two subparts. There are mentioned particular parameters of one-parameter fracture mechanics, firstly are considered linear elastic deformations, thereafter the elastoplastic deformations. The second, shorter part of the thesis, is aimed at multi-parameters stress field description on the crack tip, required for the calculation of constructions with the necessity to consider their geometry.
