Numerical support for description of behavior of cement based composite during fatigue test
Holušová, Táňa ; Padevět,, Pavel (referee) ; PhD, Ladislav Řoutil, (referee) ; Seitl, Stanislav (advisor)
The presented dissertation thesis is focused on analysis of alternative test method for determination of mechanical parameters of cement based composites. A disk shaped specimen with diameter 150 mm, thickness 60 mm was analysed and its modification for use on compact tension test (CT). Such a test is hereinafter referred to as modified compact tension (shortly MCT or MDCT)). This test configuration was chosen for testing the static and fatigue properties of cement based composites precisely because of its traditional use for fatigue testing of metallic materials. Specimens with a different cross-sections can also be used for MCT, but the work is exclusively focused on circular specimen, for example because it could be easily cut from drill core taken directly from the existing structure, on which the properties are more relevant to the age of the used concrete of the controlled structure. The modified compact tension test was firstly calibrated by numerical simulations involved the tuning of the shape of the numerical model and used material models of concrete and steel. Then the laboratory testing of modified compact tension on several levels were performed. The adequacy of the numerical model was verified against the pilot laboratory testing of the MCT test. Furthermore, the comparison of the modified compact tension test and its suitability for determining of fracture mechanical parameters of cement based composites with the three point bending test, which is the standardized test configuration for these purposes was performed. Another laboratory testing was focused of determining of fracture mechanical parameters of concrete mixture classified in strength class C30/37 and the pilot study of fatigue parameters of the same strength class of the concrete mix. The work was also presented numerical simulations of the push-out test, focused on the connection of concrete and steel with epoxy adhesive.

Fracture description of two- layer pipe with polypropylene protective layer
Zouhar, Michal ; Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Vallet, L.
Nowadays, using of layered polymer pipes is increase. Protective layer can contribute to the better mechanical resistance of basic material. In this paper the three-dimensional numerical model of pipe consisting of main pipe material and outer protective layer material is modeled. The creep crack propagation in main material is simulated and the influence of protective layer is observed. Presented description of the crack in two-layer pipe can help for more accurate estimation of pipe-system residual life time.

Influence of stress concentrator geometry on fracture parameters values of quasi-brittle materials
Frantík, P. ; Keršner, Z. ; Klusák, Jan ; Řoutil, L. ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Veselý, V.
To assess the reliability of building structures, values of fracture mechanical properties of their materials have to be known. In the case of cement-based composite types the basic parameters are ascertained on the basis of evaluation of the response of specimens conducted to a test in a suitable testing configuration. Three-point bending specimens with a central starting notch are the most frequently used specimens for laboratory testing. The influence of the stress concentrator – starting central edge notch – in a three point bend specimen on the resulting values of fracture toughness was studied in author’s papers: a crack initiation at the notch tip was numerically simulated. It was shown that the values of fracture toughness obtained for specimens with larger widths of starting notch can be overestimated.

Vliv šířky zářezu na lomovou odezvu ohýbaných betonových vzorků
Veselý, V. ; Keršner, Z. ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Klusák, Jan
An influence of the test specimen’s preparation – shape and width of a stress concentrator – on the values of parameters of nonlinear fracture models of quasi-brittle cement-based composites is analyses in the paper presented. The parameters – e.g. effective crack extension, effective fracture toughness, and specific fracture energy – can be calculated from results of loading tests performed on notched three point bend specimens. The effects are investigated by means of a comparison of numerically simulated fracture process in the cracked specimen with the specimens with the double V-notch. The numerical simulations of the fracture according to the linear elastic fracture mechanics were performed by using finite element method programs (ANSYS, and FRANC2D). The influence on the load-carrying capacity and the initial compliance of the cracked specimen are introduced and discussed.

Influence of notch width and length on crack initiation in 3PB specimens
Seitl, Stanislav ; Klusák, Jan ; Keršner, Z.
The paper presents the influence of the various notch depths for the range of starting notch width on a crack initiation in three-point bending specimens. These specimens are the most frequently used for fracture laboratory testing, especially of quasi-brittle cement-based composites. It is shown that the values of fracture toughness obtained from the tests of specimens with larger widths with various length of the starting notch can be overestimated.
