Analysis of the magnitude and shape of initial imperfection of steel girders measured during Prague experiments
Zörnerová, Marie ; Škaloud, Miroslav ; Kala, Z.
The paper deals with the statistical analysis and modelling the shape imperfections of slender webs. The values measured were newly evaluated in form of double Fourier series. The objective of the studies was preparation of source materials for sensitivity analysis of the size and shape of initial imperfections on the girders fatigue resistance.
Experiment - spolehlivý zdroj informací pro odvození metod návrhu tenkostěnných ocelových nosníků namáhaných na únavu
Škaloud, Miroslav ; Zörnerová, Marie
The limit state of thin-walled steel girders subjected to many times repeated loading is to a great extent affected by the cumulative damage process occuring in the girder webs \"breathing\" under repeated loads.Based on experimental results various approaches to the definition of the fatigue limit state of the above girders are discussed, a number of potential design procedures suggested by other researches validated and set of S-N curves, established so as to serve as a reliable tool for the fatigue analysis of thin-walled girders with \"breathing\" webs presented

The paper shows the basic peculiarities and some examples of influence of the concept Limit State Design Theory in geotechnics.
Experimental methods for study of historical structures
Drdácký, Miloš ; Jirovský, Ivo ; Lesák, Jaroslav ; Pospíšil, Stanislav ; Slížková, Zuzana ; Valach, Jaroslav ; Vavřík, Daniel
The paper presents a review of selected experimental methods for study of historic materials and structures, which have been developed or applied in the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague. It discusses peculiarities of the experimental investigation of historic structures and materials, which influence basic methodological approach. The contribution is focused especially on nonstandard methods of study of material characteristics and on testing of historic structures subjected to environmental loads or actions.
Objective time derivative defined as covariant deriative
Fiala, Zdeněk
A geometrically based approach, definining the time derivative as a covariant derivative in an appropriate nonlinear space - the infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold of deformation tensors, will be employed, and, via coordinate approach, the covariant derivative and its corresponding time derivative of an arbotrary tensor field will be explicitly expressed.
Contact pressure between head and helmet loaded by external forces
Micka, Michal ; Jírová, Jitka
The simple test of the bike helmet loaded by statical forces on the top of the head is simulated using program ANSYS. The standardized model for laboratory tests of helmets is used as the model of the head. The goal of the project is to obtain details about contact forces or stresses between the cranium and the helmets, which will be used for future development of safety helmets or by modelling of a hurt of the head at accident.
Analysis of spinal scoliosis by means of fringe projection method in Matlab environment
Valach, Jaroslav
An biomechanical application of 3D surface topometric description method based on computer-assisted processing of fringe projection digital images is presented in the contribution.
Evaluation of accuracy of steel plate girder initial imperfections measurement carried out by means of fringe projection method
Valach, Jaroslav
The method of fringe projection and its application to investigation of steel plate girders subjected to repeated loading is described in this contribution. The well known fact of decisive role of production-based girders imperfections on the girders period of service emphasizes the need of a reliable measurement method of the imperfections. The optical method described in this paper is based on determination of out-of-plane deviations by means of analysis of geometrical relations in the image of projected fringe pattern on the girder surface. The advantage of the method is its simplicity, scalable sensitivity and absence of any constrains regarding the size of the studied object. The results obtained using the method are compared to that attained by the existing method and their accuracy and time consumption is considered. Finally, applicability of the proposed method in other fields is discussed.
CRAFT projekt HISTOCLEAN - alternativní využití programu
Bryscejn, Jan ; Drdácký, Miloš ; Jakůbek, J. ; Vavřík, Daniel ; Valach, Jaroslav
A method for quality inspection of laser cleaned stone surfaces of historical buildings was developed. The method is based on analysis of the reconstructed surface topography of studied surface. The surface reconstruction employs methods of shape-from-shading and photometric stereo to obtain 3D data from sequence of digital images
