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.

Residual fatigue life estimation of railway wheelset
Pokorný, Pavel ; Zouhar, Michal (referee) ; Náhlík, Luboš (advisor)
The first part of this master's thesis deals with the high cycle fatigue of materials, especially on growing cracks using linear elastic fracture mechanics. Much of this work is focused on the concept of stress intensity factor. This concept is nowadays one of the most widely used concepts for describing a body with crack. The first part ends with theoretical approaches to determine the residual fatigue life of the body with a crack. The second part of this master's thesis is focused on the determination of residual fatigue life of a specified railway wheelset. An existence of crack-like defect is assumed at the railway wheelset. The goal of this master's thesis is to estimate how long it will take to grow from initial defect to a critical crack length. The last part of this master's thesis is devoted to addiction order load cycles on crack growth rate.

Stress - strain analysis and creep assessment of the thick-walled tubular structures.
Zouhar, Michal ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Hlavoň, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the stress-strain analysis of thick-walled pipe parts. The dimension series (characterized by the D/d ratio) of three components are solved, then a direct tube, a torus with constant wall thickness (arcus) and a torus with variable wall thickness (bend). At first, the internal pressure amount, when a fully plastic state for these components is created, is solved. The amount of the limit pressure is determined analytically, numerically and by appropriate normative relations. The results and stress diagrams of individual solutions are mutually compared. Furthermore, these components are solved in the creep and are exposed to the maximum allowable normative internal pressure for 200,000 hours according to the standard – the operating time of components. The place of the maximum equivalent creep strain and the place of the maximum equivalent stress is examined. In these places the principal stresses are depicted depending on the D/d ratio. The results and stress diagrams of individual dimension series are mutually compared. From the available literary sources the condition of the limit state reach is chosen, according to which the evaluation of the limit state reach for individual components is carried out.

Compressive testing of pillars: numerical study
Petráčková, Klára ; Zouhar, Michal (referee) ; Náhlík, Luboš (advisor)
Determination of mechanical properties of thin films, which are used e.g. in electronics, is not simple due to the required very sophisticated equipments. Also the interpretation of results is rather difficult. This bachelor’s thesis is focused on determination of important factors which affect the microcompressive testing results. For microcompressive testing, the pillars made from studied thin film attached by the bottom to a substrate are used. There can be another thin interlayer between studied film and the substrate. The pillar is made by focused ion beam (FIB). Pillar is loaded by a nanoindenter with flat tip while the deformation response is measured. The goal of the thesis is numerical simulation (using the Finite Element Method) of the microcompressive testing and determination of individual specific geometric factors of tested pillars on Young’s modulus of the thin film. Data from microcompressive testing of aluminium thin film attached to silicon substrate with tungsten interlayer were available for numerical simulation. We have estimated influence of specific pillar geometry on data using compressive testing and improved evaluation of Young’s modulus. We have presented a recommendation for more accurate evaluation of Young’s modulus determined from experimental data involving inaccuracy following the pillar shape. The results and methods presented in this thesis can be useful in future development of compressive testing technique for determination of mechanical properties of metal thin films.

Influence of residual stresses in ceramic laminates on the crack propagation
Máša, Bohuslav ; Zouhar, Michal ; Náhlík, Luboš
Příspěvek je zaměřen na lomové chování vrstevnatých keramických kompozitů – Al2O3/ZrO2. Byly uvažovány rozdílné tloušťky vrstev. Reziduální napětí získané v průběhu slinovacího procesu bylo zjištěno a předepsáno v modelech. Byly předpokládány podmínky k nasazení lineární elastické lomové mechaniky. Složky napětí a přetvoření v blízkosti kořene trhliny byly získány numerickým modelováním metodou konečných prvků implementovanou v komerčním software Ansys. K určení součinitele intenzity napětí byly použity analytické vztahy. Článek může přispět k lepšímu porozumění propagace trhliny mezi jednotlivými vrstvami.

On a critical geometry of a crack arrested at a bimaterial interface
Ševčík, Martin ; Zouhar, Michal ; Máša, Bohuslav ; Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš
Surface crack propagation in a thin soft protective layer on a massive stiffer substrate is analyzed using generalized linear elastic fracture mechanics. The growth of the initial crack is considered in both forward and sideways directions and the influence of the interface between the protective layer and massive substrate on the final crack configuration is investigated. It is shown that, depending on the elastic mismatch, the part of the crack front can be arrested at the interface protective layer/substrate and the rest of the crack grows continuously sideways only. The effective value of the stress intensity factor is used in order to predict the conditions under which the crack will propagate through the interface into the second material. Corresponding calculations have been made by finite element method.

The influence of residual stresses on the polymer pipe lifetime
Luky, R. ; Zouhar, Michal ; Hutař, Pavel
The aim of this article is study the influence of residual stresses on the pipe lifetime. The two dimensional numerical model of the pipe with inner crack was created and the creep crack growth in the pipe with and without residual stress is modelled. The results of K-kalibration curves are presented. After that the Paris law is used for solving the lifetime. The results of time to failure in dependency on the hoop stress for pipe with and without residual stress were compared. The existence of residual stresses decrease the lifetime of the pipe. Combination of the creep crack growth tests and numerical simulations can be a very powerful tool for lifetime estimation of plastic pipes under different loading conditions.

Crack stability condition at the interface between two polymer materials
Zouhar, Michal ; Hutař, Pavel ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Ševčík, Martin ; Knésl, Zdeněk
The aim of this work is to study the behaviour of crack with its tip at the interface of two polymer materials. The numerical model of cracked bi-material tension specimen is investigated and a stability criterion was tested. Usually a stability criterion based on general stress concentrator needs the relation between critical value of the generalized stress intensity factor and critical value of the stress intensity factor (fracture toughness). This relation is a function of elastic mismatch between particular materials, fracture toughness of the main material and critical distance d. Estimation of d is usually not straightforward and different authors use different approaches for its determination. Therefore main aim of this study is mutual comparison of published approaches for d estimation and to quantify their effect on the critical loading value. The results of this study can lead to better lifetime prediction and design of layered structures.
