Stainless steels for cryogenic applications processed by 3D printing
Grygar, Filip ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
This thesis deals with properties of austenitic stainless steel 304L processed by SLM technology and tested at room and cryogenics temperatures. Result is description of mechanical properties and microstructure. First step was to develop processing parameters to achieve porosity of prints fell below 0,01 %. Following tensile test showed higher yield and ultimate tensile strength than conventionally fabricated parts, even at temperature -80 °C, but at cost of reduced ductility. Due to deformation and low temperature austenite transformed into martensite. This transformation also occurred in Charpy toughness test, that resulted in ductile to brittle behaviour.

Low cycle fatigue of pseudoelastic NiTi alloy
Kaňová, Monika ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
This work is focused on study of mechanical properties of NiTi alloy which shows pseudoelastic and shape memory behaviour. Functional and structural fatigue of the material is examined. The main aim of this work was to perform and to evaluate a series of fatigue tests. The material was supplied in the form of wire which was gripped in the machine using special grips. In the first part of the experiment, tensile tests are evaluated and the reproducibility of measurements is demonstrated. Then, a series of cyclic tests was performed. Results were analysed together with previous measurements. One part of discussion concerned changes of the hysteresis loops during cycling and their dependence on strain rate. The fatigue life curves were plotted. It was found that these curves have non-standard shapes. The reasons for this are explained in the work.

Processing of high-strength aluminum alloy AlSi9Cu3 using selective laser melting technology
Suchý, Jan ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
Method selective laser melting can produce metal parts by using 3D printing. This diploma thesis deals with the influence of process parameters on the workability of AlSi9Cu3 high-strength aluminum alloy using selective laser melting. The theoretical part deals with relations between process parameters and identifies phenomena occurring during the processing of metals by this technology. It also deals with conventionally manufactured aluminum alloy AlSi9Cu3. In the work, material research is performed from single tracks tests, porosity tests with different process parameters and mechanical testing. Here are showing the trends of porosity change at scanning speed, laser power, individual laser stop distance, bulk energy, and powder quality. The workability of the material can be judged by the degree of relative density achieved. Simultaneously the values of the achieved mechanical properties of the selected process parameters are presented. The data obtained are analyzed and compared with literature.

Stress and strain analysis of connecting rod in combustion engine using FEM
Biječek, Tomáš ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Vaverka, Michal (advisor)
In this diploma thesis is completed the FEM analysis of connecting rod in combustion engine Briggs & Stratton of the garden lawnmower. Within the frame of computing in the FEM system ANSYS Workbench is solved static structural strein and stress analysis, buckling analysis a fatigue also. The boundary conditions for FEM computing come out from the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the crank-slider mechanism in combustion engine. The 3-D models of the crank-slider mechanism are created in parametric SolidWorks modeller. Own construction variants of the connecting rod based on results of FEM analysis are also designed.

Fatigue crack front shape estimation
Zouhar, Petr ; Klusák, Jan (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
The presented master’s thesis deals with fatigue crack front shape estimation. The aim of this thesis is to create an iterative process leading to the real fatigue crack front shape. 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 linear elastic fracture mechanic (LEFM), methods used for estimation of stress intensity factor and stress singularity exponent. The first part further describes some phenomenon’s accompanying the mechanism of fatigue crack growth as for example crack tip curving and crack closure. In the second part of the thesis there is studied an affect of the free surface on the fracture parameters, especially the affected distance from the free surface is determined. Based on the assumption of a constant stress intensity factor and stress singularity exponent along the crack front, an iterative process leading to fatigue crack front shape is presented. The accuracy of the result is discussed by comparing of obtained crack front shapes with experimental data at the end of the thesis.

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.

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.
