Plasticity induced crack closure effect on fatigue crack growth
Šebík, Marek ; Vojtek, Tomáš (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
This study is focused on plasticity induced crack closure effect on fatigue crack propagation. It utilizes finite element method modeling to evaluate the effect of this phenomenon on crack propagation at a series of MT specimen configurations. The modeling has been done both 2D and 3D. Comparison of computed results with experiments explains effect of the phenomenon at performed experimental measurements. Above all, three-dimensional modeling provides assessment of plasticity induced crack closure through thickness of the object. Thereby it explains shapes of fatigue crack fronts and lays foundations for including plasticity induced crack closure phenomenon to fatigue crack growth predictions in three-dimensional space.

Dokoupil, Filip ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with finding and verification of appropriate technological parameters of SLM technology for the processing of aluminum alloy 2618. In the theoretical part, an introduction to additive manufacturing of aluminum alloys and general description of processes occurring during SLM production is given. Based on general knowledge were designed different types of testing samples produced by sintering the metallurgical powder using 400 W ytterbium fiber laser, which so far in the literature for aluminum alloy 2618 were not described. As the result, the technological parameters dependence on relative density and the detailed overview of the 2618 alloy processing by SLM technology is determined.

Prediction of slow crack growth in polymer pressure pipes
Luky, Robin ; Knésl, Zdeněk (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
A new methodology of polymer pipe lifetime estimation taking into account residual stresses is described in this thesis. Engineering equations derived based on numerical simulations of a hydrostatic pressure test are proposed. Residual lifetime calculations were performed for different loading conditions using experimental data of a creep crack propagation in studied material and stress distribution in the pipe wall. The effects which significantly influence lifetime estimation were quantified with special focus on residual stresses.

Description of Failure of the Multilayer Polymer Structure
Zouhar, Michal ; Klusák, Jan (referee) ; Kučera, Jaroslav (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to describe behavior of cracks in layered polymer materials. Quasi-brittle fracture (through the initiation and subsequent crack propagation mechanism) under low stresses is the most common mode of failure of polymer materials. In this case plastic deformations are localized in the vinicity of the crack tip and linear elastic fracture mechanics description of the crack behavior can be used. The knowledge of fracture parameters change during the crack propagation in multilayer body is a key point for establishing of the maximum load and consequently for the assessment of the residua lifetime. In contrast to homogeneous bodies the estimation of stress intensity factors for multilayer (composite) structure is numerically more elaborated and the fracture mechanics approach is complicated by the existence of interfaces between single layers, where material parameters are changed by a step. Special attention is paid to the configuration of a crack growing close to the material interface and along the interface. For the crack with tip on the material interface the effective values of stress intensity factor based on the crack stability criteria are estimated. It is shown that under special conditions (depending mainly on the elastic mismatch of materials) the existence of material interface has positive influence on the lifetime of the multilayered structure.

Possibilities of estimation of selected fracture parameters under conditions of LEFM
Zouhar, Petr ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Ševčík, Martin (advisor)
The presented bachelor´s thesis deals with possibilities of estimation of selected fracture parameters under conditions of linear elastic fracture mechanic (LEFM). The aim of this thesis is to quantify the accuracy of specific methods for the estimation of fracture parameters from a known stress and strain field obtained using numerical methods. Thesis is solved using finite element method. The work is divided into two logical parts. The first part of the thesis describes the basic concepts of LEFM and selected methods used for estimation of fracture parameters, namely the stress intensity factor, strain energy release rate and J-integral. A detailed description of the numerical model, a sensitivity analysis of the FEM mesh density and obtained results are described in the second part, focused on the solution of the problem,. The accuracy of each method is expressed by comparing with a known reference value of stress intensity factor. The applicability of selected methods for estimation of the stress intensity factor is shown on a practical example of three-dimensional body containing a crack.

Topological optimization and lattice structures for aerospace components
Petržela, Zdeněk ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
Low product weight in combination with high mechanical properties play a crucial role in reducing operating costs in the aerospace industry. For this purpose, topology optimization and lattice structures are used. Additive manufacturing processes enable the production of optimized parts with geometric complexity. So far, no clear and comprehensive approach for designing a machine part with reduced weight in this way has been presented. The aim of this work was to map the topology optimization process with the use of lattice structures, corrected by experimentally determined production limits. Furthermore, the work deals with the implementation of the proposed methodology in optimization of a real machine part, its production from AlSi10Mg metal powder using selective laser melting technology, and verification of its manufacturing accuracy and vibration response. To determine the production limits, a series of lattice strut tests were performed. According to dimensional, weight and porosity analysis of lattice struts, a minimum applicable cross-section of the strut was chosen. Struts with this cross-section were subsequently applied into the beam samples with the BCC and BCCz lattice structure. Based on the mechanical response, the BCCz lattice structure was selected for application in the optimized part. For a more accurate mechanical behaviour prediction, based on actual lattice structure response, corrected elasticity modulus and yield strength value for BCCz lattice type were determined. These parameters were applied into FEM simulation in the lattice optimization phase. After solving the problem of lattice structure geometry export from FEM software, the optimization methodology could be completely defined, the part was manufactured, and the design potential was verified.

Correlation of AE Signal Changes to Rolling Contact Damage Propagation
Nohál, Libor ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Hájek, Karel (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Mazal, Pavel (advisor)
This PhD thesis deals with the experimental study of more precise rolling contact fatigue damage detection using acoustic emission method. A series of experiments was carried out on two representatives bearing steels and the analysis of sensitivity for the presence of contact damage was performed on selected parameters of acoustic emission. The extent of damage was classified into four classes and signal parameters the most characterizing the development of damage were correlated with the extent of damage. It was also verified the influence of lubricants on acoustic emission signals. The results have an impact on the implementation of more precise rolling contact fatigue tests and evaluation of parameters of acoustic emission signal. On the basis of experiments was established methodology for more precise RCF testing method using acoustic emission on test-rig AXMAT II.

The influence of heat treatment on magnetic properties of additive manufactured stainless steel components
Schäffer, Matúš ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
The aim of this master thesis is selection of heat treatment for additive manufactured multimaterial components composed of 1.4404 and 1.4542 stainless steels regarding their magnetic and mechanical properties. Individual materials were studied after fabrication and also after the same heat treatments. The chosen process consists of solution annealing and subsequent precipitation hardening. A significantly higher value of maximum relative permeability and lower of coercive field of 1.4542 steel were achieved. At the same time, the relative permeability of 1.4404 was not considerably influenced. A decrease in Rp0,2 of 1.4404, but an increase in Rm and Rp0,2 values of 1.4542 steel were observed. Elongation at break A increased in the case of both alloys. The experiments proved that multimaterial components composed of these stainless steels can be successfully manufactured by SLM technology. It is therefore possible to design and manufacture stainless steel components of magnetic circuits and adjust their magnetic and mechanical properties by heat treatment.
