Determination of residual fatigue lifetime of railway axle after surface treatment
Pánek, Ondřej ; Poduška, Jan (referee) ; Náhlík, Luboš (advisor)
This master thesis deals with prediction of residual fatigue lifetime of railway axle. In the first part of this thesis, theoretical introduction to the issue based on research of available literature is elaborated. The second part is dedicated to numerical modelling of actual railway axle with crack, which serves to obtain the necessary parameters entering estimation of the residual fatigue lifetime. At first, a finite element model of cylindrical body with crack loaded by bending moment was created and compared with analytical solution for verification purposes. The second step was the creation of separate models of railway axle with crack for three types of loading – bending moment, press fit of wheel and residual stresses, respectively. Furthermore, the shape of various crack propagation stages was determined, according to the methodology developed at IPM CAS. Using the determined crack shape, stress intensity factors were calculated separately from all types of loads for various crack depths. Dependence of stress intensity factor on the crack length was then used to calculate residual fatigue life for real loading spectrum.

Machining of hardened parts
Heiserová, Sofia ; Sliwková, Petra (referee) ; Polzer, Aleš (advisor)
The usage of quenched materials in industrial production leads to the application of hard machining. Higher requirements for machines and cutting tools are needed during hard machining than during conventional machining. Quenched materials carry problem of volume and geometric changes after quenching and after machining as well. It is necessary to think about volumetric compensation in advance, before quenching of the workpiece. An experiment is suggested for optimalisation of longitudinal turning of steels 42CrMo4 and 50CrMo4. Hard turning has notable benefits such as flexibility of cutting tools and elimination of coolants, which provides ecological benefits. However, the disadvantages are higher tool wear and high prices of tools.

Residual stresses of laser-welded pressure vessel steel determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction
Trojan, K. ; Vlk, A. ; Čapek, J. ; Hervoches, Charles ; Ganev, N.
To gain insight into the quality of the laser weld, information about the residual stress state across the weld is very useful. In this contribution, the residual stress profiles for lowalloy carbon steel plates of P355NL1 grade, which were laser welded from both sides, are presented. To separate the effects of the production of plates from the welding process, the samples were annealed for stress relieving. Using X-ray and neutron diffraction, the surface and bulk RS profiles were obtained. From the obtained data, first, the difference in the character of the longitudinal (parallel to the weld axis) and the transversal component of the RS tensor can be seen. The longitudinal component has a tensile character with a maximum value approximately 500 MPa. Values and character of the transversal component vary strongly with depth and distance from the weld axis.

Analysis of uncertainties in the calculation of residual stresses
Dubravec, Kristián ; Houfek, Lubomír (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis is about analysis of uncertainties in the calculation of residual stresses, which are homogeneous and measured by the hole-drilling method. Stochastic approach is explained using models of beams. Theory of residual stresses is included. Source code for evaluating residual stresses deterministically and stochastically is created using the Python language. Sensitivity analysis of input parameters is performed.

Age forming of aluminium alloys
Stanislav, Filip ; Petrásek, Miloslav (referee) ; Klement, Josef (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the description and the verification of a relatively young creep age forming method. This method is based on a relaxation of stress and a creep of material, which occur by forming a part in the clamping tool during the artificial precipitation heat treatment at elevated temperature. After removing from the tool, the spring back and the residual stresses in the part are smaller compared to the conventional forming methods. This is mainly reflected in the increased fatigue resistance of the structure. The creep aging is only applicable to the precipitation heat treatable alloys. This thesis is focused on aluminium alloys, which are typical for the aerospace industry. The first part of the thesis describes principles of technology, its use in the aviation and material processes in the aluminium precipitation heat treatable alloys during the creep age forming. In the second part, there is a methodology of the verification of technology on samples made of the aluminium alloys ČSN EN AL-P 7075 and ČSN 424203 (approximate equivalent of ČSN EN AL-P 2024). Furthermore, a forming tool is designed, and experiments are performed according to the proposed methodology. At the end of the thesis, the experiments are evaluated and changes in the spring back of the samples are compared for three different methods of forming: the conventional cold clamping forming, the creep age forming and the creep age forming with an overaging.

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.

Novotný, Lukáš ; Návrat, Tomáš (referee) ; Krejčí, Petr (advisor)
The master thesis is focused to design and realization of experimental equipment for researching of residual stress determination for specimen with non-uniform distribution stress along the depth. Literature search study of problematic was performed and it was used for elaboration of chapters about origin of residual stress, their classification and chapters about methods, which are used for measuring of residual stress and their determination. The following part explains the design of experimental equipment and stress-strain analysis of selected parts of this equipment. Then the final design of equipment is presented, including complete production drawings, and it’s explained final assembling of experimental equipment. Final chapter is devoted to examinable loading of specimen.

Influence of the residual stresses on the contact failure of ceramic laminates
German, Roman ; Majer, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
The presence of the compressive or tensile thermal residual stresses in layers of a ceramic laminate induced due to different volume change of each layer´s material during the cooling from the sintering temperature can considerably affect resistivity of ceramics against contact damage. Within this work 2D parametric FEM models were created, in order to study the effect of the surface layer thickness, residual stress values and indenting body dimension on the initiation and propagation of the cone crack in the surface layer of the laminate. For the analysis of the critical conditions for the crack initiation, the coupled stress-energy criterion was used and for the determination of the direction of crack propagation we used the maximum tangential stress criterion. The results show that compressive thermal stresses in the surface layer increase the critical force for the crack initiation, shorten the crack distance from the contact area and shorten the occurred crack itself. Moreover, the compressive stresses enlarge the angle of the crack declination during the propagation process which cause an earlier crack arrest. The tensile thermal stresses have exactly the opposite effect. Results of simulations were compared to experimental results but due to lack of available measurements, the verification is partially limited.
