Standardization of the copper technological forming process
Březina, Tomáš ; Císařová, Michaela (referee) ; Jopek, Miroslav (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the optimization of bending copper busbars in the Brno branch of the company ABB s.r.o. Busbars serve to conduct electricity and are used in high-voltage switchgears. The semi-finished busbar products are made of electrolytic copper that complies with the EN 13601 standard. Busbars are produced in various shapes and sizes according to the specifications of the switchgear. Part of the thesis involves a tensile test to determine the mechanical properties of electrolytic copper. A practical bending test was performed on a bending machine for bars with different mechanical properties. The entire bending process was simulated in Ansys Workbench software. Using the simulation, the tool stroke was optimized to achieve the desired deviation from the nominal angle. The optimized stroke was subsequently used on the bending machine to achieve the required bending accuracy.

Development of a test specimen carrier for a symmetrical impact test
Hoffman, Petr ; Forejt, Milan (referee) ; Jopek, Miroslav (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the development and optimization of a wooden specimen carrier for the symmetric Taylor test. It includes a detailed description of dynamic material tests, internal ballistics of the projectile, and labyrinth seal. The thesis summarizes the history of the carrier development for the Taylor test and analyzes its current state. A new carrier for the symmetric Taylor test and wooden specimens with a square cross-section was developed. Using simulations and tensile tests, the ultimate strength for the given carrier was determined. Subsequently, the thesis addresses the design and impact of the labyrinth seal on the carrier's velocity, which was designed based on simulations in the ANSYS program and practically tested in the Taylor test

Porušování jemnozrnného cementového kompozitu v blízkosti rozhraní plniva a matrice
Vyhlídal, Michal ; Kabele,, Petr (referee) ; Profant, Tomáš (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
The Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between the aggregate grain/reinforcement bar and the matrix is considered to be the weakest element in cementitious composites and is, according to some authors, directly responsible for the nonlinear (more precisely, quasi-brittle) behavior of the composites. The aim of this work is verification of the generally accepted paradigm of the weakest element by means of fracture experiments and corresponding numerical simulations. In the experimental part, in addition to traditional fracture tests, modern methods of 3D scanning, scanning electron microscopy, chemical analysis using an electron microprobe and nanoindentation were used. In the numerical part, models based on generalized linear elastic fracture mechanics as well as modern models intended for the simulation of cement composites, namely crack band model with smeared cracks and the Microplane model, were used. Based on the results, the numerical part was complemented by the Cohesive Zone Material model simulating the behavior of the interface. All results are discussed and put into context with already published work. The main conclusion of the work is that the properties of the ITZ do not have such an influence on the behavior of cement composites as the adhesion between the inclusion and the ITZ, i.e. the matrix.

The Segregation in Ferrous Alloys when Casting Heavy Castings
Pernica, Vítězslav ; Čech, Jan (referee) ; Vodárek, Vlastimil (referee) ; Havlíček,, František (referee) ; Šenberger, Jaroslav (advisor)
This thesis is dedicated to the field of manufacture of heavy steel castings with resulting properties which are influenced by long solidification time. During the long solidification time a segregation process of additives in the steel occurs which results in numerous metallurgical defects. The work was intended to observe the macrosegregation effects in the wall of a heavy experimental steel casting respectively a part of a real superheavy casting intended for cement furnaces (weight 210 t). The steel casting for the research was manufactured in the joint-stock company of VHM where such heavy castings are commonly produced for the market. The supplied piece of the steel casting was cut into the smaller pieces for the better examination. The examination resulted in information about the casting macrostructure and chemical heterogeneity of chosen elements in the casting wall. The heterogeneity of the chosen elements (C, Mn, Si, Cr, S, P) is clearly shown in the worked out visual concentration maps. Based on the experimental data the measured results of segregations were confronted with the results of segregation modelling with the use of the commercial simulation software ProCAST. It resulted in the conclusion that the prediction of segregations is not in accordance with the reality. Furthermore, the results from the experimental casting are shortly compared with previously manufactured castings of the same type and the results summarizing the found range of macrosegregations of the tested sample are interpreted in the work conclusion.

Importance of Upsetting Test for Numerical Simulation of Forming Processes
Tinka, Petr ; Dohnal, Ivo (referee) ; Řiháček, Jan (advisor)
The thesis deals primarily with the creation of a material model for numerical simulation using an upsetting test for steel 17 240, a layer of Delta 144 was applied on the steel. From the obtained values of force and path, a material model was created which serves for characterization material for numerical simulation. The simulation was performed in ANSYS Workbench 19.0. From this, force and path are obtained, which is used to compare with the upsetting test. It is clear from the comparison that the values do not differ too much, and it is possible to use this material for numerical simulation.

Assessment of impact of arrangement of collagen fibres in arterial wall on its response in tension tests
Kratochvíl, Filip ; Chamrad, Jakub (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with organisation of collagen fibres in human blood vessel walls and with simulation models, which are used to calculate vessel behaviour. Firstly, the thesis focuses on the anatomy of human blood vessel system, mainly on the vessel structure and properties of some vessel components. Next, two models are presented, which can be used for the vessel wall in calculations, specifically models with straight and wavy collagen fibres. Moreover, some methods are described, which can be used to gain information about a vessel. Subsequently, relationships are derived needed for simulation of tension tests of these models, mainly to express the length of collagen fibres. In the practical part simulations of vessel behaviour during uniaxial tension test are carried out and histograms of local direction angles of collagen fibres in the unloaded state are created. In the end, results gained by simulations are compared with real available data.

Růžek, Václav ; Polívka, Milan (referee) ; Soldán, Josef (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
The doctoral thesis deals with aspects of pre-certification tests of electromagnetic immunity in the automotive industry. The thesis analyses commonly used test methodology and mentions that standardized electromagnetic immunity tests performed by certified testing centres, which are extremely expensive and represents a considerable time load in the development of the vehicle. The thesis therefore proposes innovative ways for replacement of certification tests with an acceptable level of uncertainty. Key methods are seen in numerical simulations and modified test procedures when the vehicle is exposed by electromagnetic field. The proposed methods are deeply explored and their benefits are discussed and support by number of experiments. The results obtained with the pre-certification methods are objectively compared with the results of the certification measurements by FSV method. The work brings a proposal for a comprehensive test methodology including a discussion of risks and uncertainties with related issues.
