Implementation, Calibration and Application of Ductile Fracture Conditions in FEM Programs
Kubík, Petr ; Plánička, František (referee) ; Kotoul, Michal (referee) ; Petruška, Jindřich (advisor)
The presented work is concerning with ductile fracture problematic under monotonic loading which is result of gradual material degradation at large plastic deformation. At present, a large number of models, which calibration is not trivial, are used for its prediction. Ductile fracture mechanisms and cut-off region are described in the literature search part. Next, there is given a summary of criteria which are based on different approaches to ductile fracture. There were proposed and used KHPS and KHPS2 criteria within this PhD thesis. Procedure of assessment of the stress-strain curve and ductile fracture criteria calibration are described in last part of the literature search. A summary of tests, which were done in order to calibrate chosen criteria, is given in experimental part. Various stress states within broad range of stress triaxiality and Lode parameter were reached using these tests. Special type of specimen, by which very low stress triaxiality value is reached, was designed within this work. All specimens were made from the steel 12 050. Wrought rods of one melt with circular cross-section of 27 mm in diameter were used as semi-product. Calibration of chosen ductile fracture criteria was performed using foregoing tests. These criteria were implemented by author into explicit finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit using user subroutine VUMAT. Chosen criteria were used for simulation of multistep extrusion at which formation of internal central cracks occurs. These criteria were also used for simulation of cutting of circular cross-section rods. Results from simulation were compared to experiments which were done by industrial partner J-VST.

Prediction of the fracture toughness temperature dependence
Václavík, Martin ; Pantělejev, Libor (referee) ; Válka, Libor (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the prediction of the fracture toughness temperature dependence through a universal curve of fracture toughness (also known as the master curve). To determine the parameters of the universal curve of fracture toughness, values acquired from the measurement results of fracture toughness and tensile tests of structural steel P91 are used. The theoretical part is based on a summary of the relevant information from the field of fracture mechanics and brittle-ductile fracture behavior of steels that are important for the understanding of fracture-strain response of materials depending on load conditions. The experimental part of the thesis contains the results from practical measurements and analyses, which were used for determining the parameters of a universal curve of fracture toughness as well as for the evaluation of fracture behavior and description of the impact of structural parameters on this behavior in case of steel P91.

Fracture toughness testing at high temperature range using miniaturized CT specimens
Holas, Jiří ; Kuběna, Ivo (referee) ; Šiška, Filip (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with the evaluation of fracture behavior of ODS steel MA956 at high temperature range. This behavior was tested by using miniaturized CT specimens, on which were performed experiments to measure of ductile crack growth resistance curves (J-R curves). The value of the fracture toughness was determined from these J-R curves. Fracture properties were consequently evaluated by using fractographic analysis of the fracture surfaces. Structural properties of material was identified by hardness measurement and analyzed by metallographic methods. Results of the measurements show drop of the fracture toughness with respect to the increasing temperature.

Application of ductile fracture models in computational simulation of manufacturing operations
Hůlka, Jiří ; Houfek, Lubomír (referee) ; Petruška, Jindřich (advisor)
This diploma thesis is an introduction to the ductile fracture under large plastic deformations and is focused to numerical simulation of this type of problems. Explicit finite element method (FEM) is discussed in theoretical introduction as the most powerful tool for numerical calculations in this area. Actual state of research and possibilities of ductile fracture simulations are presented. Applicable fracture criteria are collected in a summary sheet and the most important ones are selected and commented in detail. The problem of implementation of selected criteria into commercial FEM packages is discussed, too. Main part of the work is presented in chapters 7÷9 where two ductile fracture criteria (Equivalent Fracture Strain and Johnson-Cook) are applied to numerical simulation of material cutting. All results were obtained with ABAQUS/Explicit 6.5.1 and their verification was realized by experimental measurement.

A calibration of Gurson-Tvergaard- Needleman micromechanical model of ductile fracture
Stratil, Luděk ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Šiška, Filip ; Dlouhý, Ivo
Fracture mechanics characteristics of ductile fracture often depend on geometry and size of specimens. A micromechanical modelling of material damage proposes a tool for treatment of geometry and size effects in fracture mechanics. Application of micromechanical model for certain materiál requires a calibration of model‘s parameters. This contribution presents the calibration procedure of Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman model of ductile fracture for Eurofer97 steel. The identification of ductile damage of the steel and its tensile properties at various level of stress triaxiality by testing smooth and notched bars were determined in the previous study. The calibration procedure was performed by hybrid method as a combination of FEA simulations of tensile tests and fractography analyses. The Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman model performance is greatly influenced by true stress-true strain curve of the material.

Study of ductile damage mechanism for Eurofer97 steel
Stratil, Luděk ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Dlouhý, Ivo
The contribution deals with the investigation of ductile damage mechanisms acting in the EUROFER97 steel. For evaluation of material response to various levels of the stress triaxiality the tests on smooth and notched tensile bars were performed. The broken tensile specimens were fractographically and metallographically analyzed and also a quantitative study of mirco-void initiation and nucleation was performed. The more serve conditions of the stress triaxiality in the notched specimens increase the strength characteristics and lower their fracture strain. The nucleation of the voids by decohesion mechanism and gradual void’s growth form substantial part of damage process of the material, finally rapid void coalescence takes place. The higher stress triaxiality promotes growth of voids and on restricts void’s nucleation.

Simulation of resitance curves using Gurson plasticity model
Korouš, Jan ; Zemánková, Jaroslava
The concept of J-R curves is well established in structure assessment.However, the shape of J-R curves is influenced by constraint effectssignificantly. Such phenomena can be modelled using micromechanicalmodels of plasticity. The paper presents simulation of J-R curves usingthe complete Gurson model of plasticity, which was implemented into thefinite element system WARP3D.
