Multi-parameter MTS and SED criterion applied on a crack in an alkali-activated concrete specimen under mixed-mode loading
Malíková, Lucie ; Miarka, Petr ; Šimonová, H.
The paper is devoted to an analysis of a crack propagation in a semi-circular concrete specimen under three-point bending. I+II mixed-mode loading is ensured via an inclined crack. Crack deflection angle is investigated by means of the generalized/multi-parameter form of the Maximum Tangential Stress (MTS) criterion and Strain Energy Density (SED) criterion as well as experimentally. The multi-parameter fracture mechanics concept applied in this work is based on the approximation of the crack-tip stress field by means of the Williams series expansion (WE). It has been proved that this approach can help to describe crack behavior in some kinds of materials better than the classical (one-parameter: stress intensity factor) fracture mechanics. This conclusion is discussed also in this paper.

Crack path calculation using linear elastic fracture mechanics
Bónová, Kateřina ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Eliáš, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the different possible calculations of crack path. Specifically, it focuses on criteria based on maximum tangential stress, minimal strain energy density, crack tip displacement, and local symmetry. These criteria are used for calculations in ANSYS software to estimate possible crack paths on four simple structures. The thesis also contains the codes created in ANSYS. Using these, the crack trajectory of a given structure can be calculated by any of the four criteria described.

Numerical support for wedge splitting test on non-traditional geometry
Juhászová, Tereza ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Seitl, Stanislav (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on numerical support of wedge splitting test with non-traditional geometry. Numerical analysis takes place in program Ansys, defining behavior of models with modified entry parameters. Attention is focused on values of parameters characteristic for fracture mechanics; stress intensity factor and T-stress and functions describing their relationship to length of crack, evaluation of which is graphically illustrated.

Influence of Residual Stress on Lifetime Prediction of Polymer Pipelines
Poduška, Jan ; Nezbedová, Eva (referee) ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Hutař, Pavel (advisor)
The lifetime of plastic pipes for water supply and other applications is demanded to exceed at least 50 years. Such a long lifetime is difficult to prove by standard testing methods like the hydrostatic pres-sure test. However, it is possible to calculate an estimation of the lifetime, as the most frequently oc-curring mechanism of failure of plastic pipes is the creep crack propagation and subsequent failure. The method is based on describing the crack propagation by parameters of the linear-elastic fracture mechanics. An important part of this method is a finite element simulation of crack propagation in a pipe loaded by various types of loads. Residual stress, a side product of solidification after extrusion, is one of these loads. This thesis begins with an introductory part and literature review of the relevant topics – most of all the typical material properties of the pipe materials, mechanisms of failure, methods of residual stress determination suitable for plastic pipes and their results, methods of testing the materials and calculating lifetime. After the introduction, the problems to be solved are defined. The description of the residual stress state in the wall of various plastic pipes is the main topic. Both tangential (hoop) and axial residual stress in pipes of different dimensions and materials are determined using a combination of experiments and numerical simulations. Also, a simplified method of tangential residual stress is designed that can provide a sufficiently precise description of the tangential resid-ual stress state and is not difficult to carry out. A method to include the residual stress in the lifetime calculations and its influence on the lifetime is also dealt with. Apart from residual stress, the influence of soil loads in case of a buried pipe is studied. The residual stress can also influence the experimental determination of crack growth rate. If the CRB (cracked round bar) test is used to measure the crack growth rate, the crack can propagate asymmetrically due to the presence of residual stress in the specimens, which affects the results. Based on a finite element simulation of crack propagation in a CRB specimen, the severity of the influence is assessed.

Fracture tests of selected specimens with special aggregates: experiments and numerical simulation
Majda, Tomáš ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with selected fracture tests and evaluation of fracture parameters of cement-based composite. One part of the thesis deals with cement-based composite with glass spherical aggregate of a single fraction of 2 mm. After production, the beams with dimensions of 20×40×200mm exposed to temperatures in the range from 100 to 1000 °C for one hour. Using the non-destructive ultrasonic pulse method, the degree of damage caused by termal load was determined. Selected specimen with central edge notch were then tested in three-point bending and fragments after these tests were tested in compression. In the second part, attention was paid to the evaluation of fracture tests conducted on specimen from drill-cores taken from selected objects located at the former Transgas Gas Control Center in Prague. The specimen were provided with a chevron notch before being tested in three-point bending. The measured data was modified by the GTDiPS program and in the case of the glass composite the StiCrack program was used to evaluate fracture parameters.

Analysis of crack behaviour under mixed-mode loading
Antalík, Adam ; Miarka, Petr (referee) ; Malíková, Lucie (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the analysis of the stress field in the vicinity of the crack tip, described by the stress intensity factor K. The objective of this thesis is to calculate values of the parameter K for a crack in a rectangular specimen subjected to asymmetric four-point bending. Thus, mixed mode I + II loading conditions occur. The first part of the thesis deals with the fracture mechanics concept. In the second part, a cracked specimen is modelled in the Ansys Mechanical APDL software. In the final part, the resulting values of the parameter K, obtained from the commands KCALC, CINT and two empirical equations, are presented. The MTS criterion is applied for estimation of the crack propagation angel and all results are discussed thoroughly.
