Influence of setting and configuration of straightening machine on results of simulation of cross-roll straightening
Ščerba, Bořek ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
Analytical methods or implicit finite element method (FEM) with beam elements to model straightened bar were used to analyze straightening process in multi-staggered cross-roll straighteners up to now. These are effective but require certain simplifications. Aim of this thesis is to create an explicit FEM model allowing usage of solid elements for circular bar without disproportional increase of computational time. This may lead to deeper understanding of the straightening process. The model is to be verified using straightening tables and then used to quantify influence of rollers configuration on results of the straightening process.

Computational Prediction of Ductile Fracture
Hůlka, Jiří ; Španiel, Miroslav (referee) ; Žmindák,, Milan (referee) ; Petruška, Jindřich (advisor)
The issue of ductile damage prediction can be generally divided in two types of tasks. The first one is to preventing the initiation of ductile damage with is most common group of calculation today. The second task can be described as aimed damaging, such as machining, cutting, etc. The significant development of this issue occurred in recent decades by help of development and access to powerful computational techniques and new experimental possibilities. However, the behaviour of ductile damage at multiaxial proportional and non-proportional loading is insufficiently described. This thesis helped to clarify some of the unknown this topic. It contributed to the understanding of selected materials behaviour at room temperature and quasistatic loading. Austenitic stainless steel AISI 316L was selected for detail study of ductile damage. A large number of experiments were performed on this material, such as uniaxial tensile tests of smooth and notched specimens, upsetting tests of smooth cylinder and special cylinder with dimple, butterfly specimens, notched tube specimens and penetration tests. Experimental results is used for calibration of five so-called simple criteria, taking into account fracture strain and stress triaxiality (Equivalent fracture strain, Johnson-Cook, simplify Bao-Wierzbicki, RT, RTCL) and universal criteria (Bai-Wierzbicki, Xue-Wierzbicki, EMC, LOU, KHPS). SPT potentially enable the determination of actual mechanical behaviour using only a fraction of specimen volume compared to standard specimen. It is promising tool to improve accuracy when assessing working life of components in operation. The inverse numerical simulation loop of SPT was designed using program OptiSLang on the basis of detailed sensitivity analysis. It was achieved 2% deviation of yield strength and 6% deviation of ultimate strength obtained from tensile tests. A several modification of SPT specimen was suggested for universal criteria calibration of small material volume. The 3D numerical model was built for numerical simulation with ductile damage simulation. The criteria KHPS and EMC gave the most accurate results.

Stress and strength analysis of steam turbine valve
Kořínek, Tomáš ; Vosynek, Petr (referee) ; Petruška, Jindřich (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the determination of lifetime and computational modeling of stress strain states arising in the body of the steam turbine valve. Due to the high temperature of the inlet steam, the creep of the material which fundamentally affects its final lifetime is also considered in the calculation. The lifetime is evaluated by four different procedures using the finite element method via the ANSYS software. The results are compared at the end of this work. One of the chapters is focused on solving the problem of the creep in the ANSYS software environment.

Stress-strain analysis of axisymmetric body solved by analytical and numerical approaches
Mívalt, Tomáš ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Novák, Kamil (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with stress-strain analysis of axisymmetric body. As suitable axisymmetric body was chosen combustion engine piston. Thesis includes study of piston loads and possibilities of stress-strain calculations. This is followed by research in field of historical approaches of stress-strain calculations and tension evaluating and classification. In the practical part of thesis, analytical solution was solved with different computational models – fixed plate, supported plate and composite body – composed of shell and plate. After solving analytical models, numerical approach took place; FEM with different resolutions was used in ANSYS system. In conclusion of the thesis, all data and result were compared and appropriate conclusions were made.

Numerical analysis of stabilizer clamp forming process
Zbořil, David ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Kubík, Petr (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the simulation of the clamp forming process in order to better estimate the dimensions of the development and its effect on the resulting clamp geometry. In the first part of the thesis, a research is carried out that discusses the incremental theory of plasticity, which is important for understanding the material behaviour during forming. The next part is devoted to the cold forming problem and the factors affecting the forming process. This is followed by an introduction to the principles of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the creation of a clamp forming simulation. The paper further analyses the partial problems encountered during the simulation and finally the simulation results obtained with an ideal and a real clamp are compared. This work contributes to a better understanding of the clamp forming process and allows more accurate estimates of the dimensions of the unwinding and the resulting clamp geometry.

Stress-strain analysis of the process of continuous steel casting
Cabaj, Gabriel ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the development of a computational model for determination of stress and strain of a round billet in the process of continuous steel casting. The supplied material characteristics, the geometry of the continuous casting machine and the temperature distribution in the billet are applied as input data for stress and strain analysis. The computational model based on the finite element method is developed in the commercial software ANSYS. The thesis can be divided into three parts. The first part includes background information related to the continuous casting of steel and a research analysis of the computational modeling of this process. The second part describes the development of the planar and three-dimensional computational model in detail. Finally, the obtained stress and strain results are analyzed and general conclusions, and recommendations for further development are proposed.

Computational analysis of a car axle arm opening
Procházka, Vojtěch ; Kubík, Petr (referee) ; Petruška, Jindřich (advisor)
This thesis is focused on behavior of control arm opening with bushing pressed in. The tested component is a part of control arm of a car. The parts were tested in tensile and compressive strength. Real experiments were measured by optical system Aramis during the testing to determine deformations of the part. These tests are also modeled by a finite element method using an Abaqus software. In GOM Correlate software is created full-field comparison of deformation results from Aramis and FEA. Based on this comparison computational model is calibrated. Sensitivity analysis is performed at the end of the thesis.

Increasing the fatigue life of the firearm firing pin using the explicit solver
Adamec, Tomáš ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Šebek, František (advisor)
Firing pin is a critical component in terms of firearm function. Tip of firing pin can break off due to repeated impact loading, which results in malfunction of the whole firearm. This master's thesis aims to propose changes in geometry of the firing pin so that new firing pin will be more durable against fatigue failure. Geometry and characteristics of the original firing pin are provided by company Česká zbrojovka, a.s. To determine the amount of fatigue damage for specific configuration of firing pin, computational model, which simulates impact loading of the firing pin during dry fire, is created. Finite element method with explicit formulation is used for the calculation. Parameters of geometry, which are assumed to have highest influence on fatigue life, are chosen based on the analisys of the original firing pin. These parameters are changed in further calculations, resulting in new configuration of the firing pin, which is approximately 15 % more durable against fatigue failure.
