Analysis of performance of embankment constructed on subsoil improved by vertical drains
Kováč, Vladimír ; Miča, Lumír (referee) ; Chalmovský, Juraj (advisor)
The thesis deals with the back analysis of the instrumentated embankment on the subsoil, improved by prefabricated vertical drains. The first part is devoted to the theory of consolidation calculation. Furthermore, the author deals with a parametric study of the analytical calculation of prefabricated drains and the comparsion of the analytical and numerical solution. The last and the largest part of the work is a back analysis of the embankment which was built as a part of the subsoil improvement near the Suez Canal in Egypt by Keller GmbH.

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.

Car Door Handle FEM Model Creation and Validation for Crash Simulations
Raffai, Peter ; Korouš, Jan (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this master’s thesis was to create a component model of a door handle stiffener used by the Volkswagen concern, which can be used for crash computations. Also to tune its parameters the way, its behavior corresponds the most to the real part’s. In the theoretical part the current regulations of the Euro NCAP are presented, concerning the testing and evaluation of the passive safety of new vehicles. Attention is focused on the evaluation of the side impact barrier tests, where the effect of the door handle stiffener’s damage is reflected the most. Shown are the reasons for the effort to simulate the real behavior of the stiffener, the factors, which initialized the born of the studied problem. The practical part starts with the creation of the FEM mesh of the part based on its 3D CAD model, also describes the requirements for the mesh quality, as well as the used tools and methods. Further on investigated are the characters of real damages of the door handle area during side impacts, based on which the component tests are proposed for the validation of the simulation model. Experimental research consists of the stiffener’s testing for simple bend and twist loads, three specimens each. After the execution of the tests the results get compared with the corresponding simulations. Modifications are made on the model according to the acquired results: refinement of the FEM mesh, new material model usage with failure for shell elements and definition of real material characteristics for the used thermoplastics. The latest obtained simulation dependencies are compared with the measured values again, the results are evaluated at last.

Static analysis of one joint of timber structure
Sedlák, Petr ; Gratza, Roman (referee) ; Kytýr, Jiří (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the numerical modeling of the nail joint of the timber roof structure and it is based on the already realized physical experiment. Totally twelve various solutions, where the isotropic and ortotropic characteristics of the spruce timber and steel components change, have been created. The final values of the joint shift obtained by using of the numerical modeling are compared with results of physical experiment. Program system ANSYS is used.

Sandwich structure analysis using Finite Element Methods
Bucňák, Ondřej ; Schoř, Pavel (referee) ; Mališ, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the analysis of material model core sandwich structures. The behavior of the sandwich core is simulated using Finite Element Method (FEM) in programs MSC.Patran/Nastran. The first part deals with describing the properties of sandwich structures and its components. There are presented examples of the application of sandwich structures. The next section describes the elementary material models. In the last part of bachelor’s thesis is performed FEM analysis of material model sandwich foam core and comparison to the results with the four-point bending test.

Verification of nonlinear material models
Prokš, Tomáš ; Němec, Ivan (referee) ; Hradil, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with verification of nonlinear material model of soil FHWA SOIL during shear test. The nonlinear problem was being solved by software LS-DYNA using explicit formulation of finite elements method. The values of horizontal displacements during the direct shear test were compared with the results listed by the developer of the material. The considerable difference in the results led to focusing on the settings of the material model and influence of application of load, geometry and type of finite elements on the monitoring values.

Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures
Král, Petr ; Salajka, Vlastislav (referee) ; Hradil, Petr (advisor)
The aim is to design and evaluate nonlinear beams analysis, which will be subjected by four – point bending. Nonlinear analysis will be performed and evaluated on three beam models, the first of which will be made from plain concrete, the second of which will be made from reinforced concrete with reinforcement bars in the domain of tensile stress and the third of which will be made from reinforced concrete with reinforcement bars in domains of tensile and compressive stress. The thesis will be included formation of appropriate FE models, performance of nonlinear calculations with using nonlinear material model from a library of nonlinear material models multiPlas in the programming environment of software ANSYS and subsequent evaluation of results. Evaluation of results will consist from evaluation of nonlinear beams analysis and from evaluation of beams analysis according to ČSN EN 1992 – 1 – 1 without reinforcement bars and with reinforcement bars in these variants, next from comparison of nonlinear beams analysis with a beams analysis according to ČSN EN 1992 – 1 – 1 and finally from evaluation of the yield condition, which will be applied to the beams.

Local approach in mechanical properties prediction
Brumek, J. ; Strnadel, B. ; Dlouhý, Ivo
Indentation technique was focused on the prediction of the strain hardening behaviour of carbide steels. An improved technique to determine the plastic properties of material from the load-displacement curve from a ball indentation test was proposed. The time severity for the search for an optimal solution for a non-linear constitutive model is dependent on a number of design variables. Common methods like gradient methods or linear programming can fail due the fact that they drop to the local minimum. The advantage of a genetic algorithm does not require knowledge of the target function. Proposed method was applied to the data from the instrumented indentation technique. Results were found to be in good agreement with the data from conventional, standard tests, and in less time.
