Numerical Modelling of Fatigue Crack Closure
Oplt, Tomáš ; Růžička, Milan (referee) ; Horníková, Jana (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
This Ph.D. thesis was written under the supervision of Assoc. prof. Pavel Hutař, Ph.D., and Assoc. prof. Luboš Náhlík, Ph.D. The thesis is focused on the effect of plasticity induced crack closure, its characteristic and ways of numerical modelling. Premature fatigue crack closure has a significant effect on the fatigue crack propagation rate and therefore on the residual lifetime of a structure. A three-dimensional numerical model allows a detailed look at the stress and strain distribution along the crack front, and particularly it allows a local description of parameters along the crack front which governs the fatigue crack propagation rate. In the first part of the thesis, the study is focused on the influence of a singular stress field at the vicinity of the free surface on the crack front curvature without crack closure being involved. In the second part, a numerical model in 2D of plasticity induced crack closure was created and verified by experimental results. In the final part, a 3D numerical model is used to describe the influence of the crack closure on its fatigue propagation rate and explains typical crack front curvature. The suggested technique allows quantitative accuracy improvement of numerical simulation of the fatigue crack propagation and therefore, more reliable estimation of the residual lifetime of the cracked structure.

Parameters of Fracture Mechanics
Oplt, Tomáš ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Horníková, Jana (advisor)
This thesis is the descriptive summary for the most significant parameters of fracture mechanics, required to define stress field on the crack tip. The first and also the most extensive part is divided into two subparts. There are mentioned particular parameters of one-parameter fracture mechanics, firstly are considered linear elastic deformations, thereafter the elastoplastic deformations. The second, shorter part of the thesis, is aimed at multi-parameters stress field description on the crack tip, required for the calculation of constructions with the necessity to consider their geometry.

Printed Circuit Board Modal Analysis Results Comparison from Experimental and Computational Modeling
Oplt, Tomáš ; Vosynek, Petr (referee) ; Tošovský, Jiří (advisor)
Modal analysis of printed circuit board results, gained from computional and experimental modeling, have been compared. Anylyses have been performed on dummy boards (models without electronic components), created as one-layered at first, then as three-layered PCB. Board is usually clamped by its longer edges with wedgelock. In order to enable the realization of boundary conditions in computional and experimental modeling, real clamping has been simplified to simply supported. Computional models have used FEM elements, which are comomnly used in this type of problem. Determined results have been evaluated by comparing the experimental modeling results. Models‘ sensitivity on modification of element length and number of elements through thickness have been performed.
