Optimization of infill selection with an emphasis on maximum dynamic resistance
Konvalina, Michal ; Svoboda, Petr (referee) ; Jopek, Miroslav (advisor)
The thesis deals with the study of the effect of different wall thicknesses of 3D printed infill patterns at constant cross-sectional area on their final properties under static and dynamic loading. Based on literature study, two experimental methods are chosen. The quasi-static test and the Taylor anvil test. For the experiment, square and hexagonal grid specimens are printed using FDM technology from PLA material. Quasi-static test is used to measure the static properties such as maximum compressive strength, yield stress, modulus of elasticity and to derive material model of Johnson-Cook. The dynamic impact test TAT is used to evaluate different types of patterns at high impact velocities. In ANSYS, the specimens that resisted the highest impact velocities in TAT are simulated and strain rate sensitivity parameter is optimized for the specific velocity. The highest dynamic resistance was achieved by a square infill pattern with wall thickness of 0,4 mm at an impact velocity of 37 ms-1.
Static analysis of reinforced concrete walls with additionally made openings
Šimek, Ondřej ; Borzovič, Viktor (referee) ; Vítek, Jan (referee) ; Zich, Miloš (advisor)
The thesis deals with the implementation of additional openings in reinforced concrete walls from the point of view of structural analysis. Two types of walls are analysed: panel walls and infill shear walls. In the introductory part, the current state of knowledge in the methods of analysis of this issue is discussed and their advantages or shortcomings are pointed out. Several types of wall specimens with pre- or post-made openings with different types of reinforcement representing the state after an additional opening is made are proposed and their behaviour is experimentally and subsequently numerically verified. On the basis of the data obtained, methods are proposed for the structural analysis and the design of reinforced concrete walls with additional openings. For panel walls with openings, the analysis method using wall models is extended and the method of static assessment is specified. The method of analysis for infill shear walls with an opening using equivalent diagonal bar strut has been extended to take account for the reinforcement and its load state. The proposed structural analysis methods were applied to a real prefabricated house with an additional opening and to a hypothetical frame structure with a proposed structural intervention in its bracing system.
