Description of Crack Propagation in the Fields of Strongly Non-Homogeneous and Residual Stresses
Štegnerová, Kateřina ; Materna, Aleš (referee) ; Malíková, Lucie (referee) ; Náhlík, Luboš (advisor)
This Ph.D. thesis was written under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Luboš Náhlík, Ph.D. and Assoc. Prof. Pavel Hutař, Ph.D. Thesis is focused mainly on application of generalized linear elastic fracture mechanics, which allows description of crack behaviour propagating from general singular stress concentrators, such as material interfaces or sharp V-notches, and verification of validity of used fracture criteria. The obtained results were used in the next part of the thesis, which deals with the issue of crack propagating in ceramic composites, where the stress distribution field is strongly influenced by the existence of material interface and presence of residual stresses, that arise during manufacturing process of composite.

Determination of residual stresses from strain field around drilled hole
Horák, Richard ; Návrat, Tomáš (referee) ; Halabuk, Dávid (advisor)
The master’s thesis focuses on determining homogeneous residual stresses using the hole-drilling method. The optical method of digital image correlation (DIC) is used for measuring released strains. In order to evaluate residual stresses using the entire strain field, it is necessary to know the functional dependencies of calibration constants on this field. Therefore, a significant part of the master’s thesis includes finding these dependencies in relation to the dimensions of the drilled hole and coordinates of the measured points. Another part of the thesis deals with the evaluation of homogeneous residual stresses based on provided experimental data obtained from the measurement of uniaxially loaded steel flat bar with a through-hole. At the end of the thesis, a sensitivity analysis is performed, which examines the influence of input variables in the calculation algorithm in relation to computed residual stresses.

Impact of residual stresses and uncoiling of arterial specimen on its mechanical response
Sochor, Ondřej ; Lisický, Ondřej (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis examines the impact of residual stresses in the carotid artery wall and the influence of specimen uncoiling on its mechanical response. The introductory part provides basic knowledge about the anatomy and the pathology of blood vessels, as well as overview of common methods used for testing artery samples. The main body of the thesis is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on the impact of specimen uncoiling on its mechanical response during the equibiaxial tensile test. It begins by describing the method used for sample testing and the method used for obtaining material constants from the mechanical response. These constants are then used as input for FEM simulation of the uncoiling and subsequent equibiaxial tensile test simulation on idealized model of geometry. The mechanical behaviour of the uncoiled model is compared to behaviour of the stress-free planar model to determine the influence of uncoiling. In the second section, the influence of residual stresses in the artery wall on its mechanical response is explored. This section includes a description of two methods used to show residual stress release, which are then used for specimen testing. The experiments are used to evaluate input parameters per layer for the model of geometry and subsequent FEM analysis. By comparing results from three levels of modeling, the impact of residual stresses on the artery’s mechanical response is determined.

Numerical simulation of the hole drilling method for residual stress measurement
Halabuk, Dávid ; Ganev, Nikolaj (referee) ; Pástor,, Miroslav (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
The doctoral thesis is focused on the investigation of various cases that may occur in the measurement of residual stresses by hole-drilling method and which deviate from the ideal state for which hole-drilling method is derived. In order to assess various stress states, geometries or material properties of the measured body, a computational model simulating the hole-drilling method was created by the finite element method. The first investigated case deals with cylindrical bodies and errors that may occur when the hole-drilling method is used to measure residual stresses in bodies with various surface radii. In addition to the evaluation of errors for different stress states, a procedure for the calculation of uniform residual stresses in cylindrical bodies has been proposed. The next part of the thesis is focused on investigating the influence of the residual stress placed in the perpendicular direction to the measured surface on the error of evaluated residual stresses located in a plane parallel to the surface of a measured body. The last and largest part of the thesis deals with cases in which plastic deformations form in the area around the drilled hole during residual stress measurement. After examining of various parameters influencing the formation of plastic deformations, a correction procedure which is capable to correct the uniform residual stresses for various hole diameters and various strain gauge rosettes independently of the stress state or material properties was proposed. The proposed correction procedure was thoroughly tested to ensure its satisfactory results. Based on the obtained results published in this thesis, it is possible to estimate the influence of various conditions deviating from the ideal case on the accuracy of the evaluated residual stresses and in some cases minimize this influence by the proposed procedures.

Processing of Inconel 939 alloy using laser powder bed fusion at elevated temperatures
Hertl, David ; Dočekalová, Kateřina (referee) ; Malý, Martin (advisor)
The thesis deals with the problem of Inconel 939 alloy processing by SLM technology using base plate preheating. The main objective of the work is to verify the effect of base plate preheating on residual stresses. The problem was solved by two approaches: process simulation, and subsequent experimental verification. The process simulation with preheating temperature of 400 °C achieved the highest agreement with the experiment with a deviation of 4.1 %. Based on the experiment, a suitable base plate preheating temperature of 100 °C was determined to reduce the deformation and residual stresses. By processing Inconel 939 using preheating temperatures of 100 °C and 400 °C, static mechanical properties comparable to those of the standard components processed by SLM technology from Inconel 939 after the heat treatment were achieved. These results offer the potential for significant reductions in overall production time and costs associated with manufacturing Inconel 939.

Determination of residual fatigue lifetime of railway axle after surface treatment
Pánek, Ondřej ; Poduška, Jan (referee) ; Náhlík, Luboš (advisor)
This master thesis deals with prediction of residual fatigue lifetime of railway axle. In the first part of this thesis, theoretical introduction to the issue based on research of available literature is elaborated. The second part is dedicated to numerical modelling of actual railway axle with crack, which serves to obtain the necessary parameters entering estimation of the residual fatigue lifetime. At first, a finite element model of cylindrical body with crack loaded by bending moment was created and compared with analytical solution for verification purposes. The second step was the creation of separate models of railway axle with crack for three types of loading – bending moment, press fit of wheel and residual stresses, respectively. Furthermore, the shape of various crack propagation stages was determined, according to the methodology developed at IPM CAS. Using the determined crack shape, stress intensity factors were calculated separately from all types of loads for various crack depths. Dependence of stress intensity factor on the crack length was then used to calculate residual fatigue life for real loading spectrum.

Machining of hardened parts
Heiserová, Sofia ; Sliwková, Petra (referee) ; Polzer, Aleš (advisor)
The usage of quenched materials in industrial production leads to the application of hard machining. Higher requirements for machines and cutting tools are needed during hard machining than during conventional machining. Quenched materials carry problem of volume and geometric changes after quenching and after machining as well. It is necessary to think about volumetric compensation in advance, before quenching of the workpiece. An experiment is suggested for optimalisation of longitudinal turning of steels 42CrMo4 and 50CrMo4. Hard turning has notable benefits such as flexibility of cutting tools and elimination of coolants, which provides ecological benefits. However, the disadvantages are higher tool wear and high prices of tools.

Residual stresses of laser-welded pressure vessel steel determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction
Trojan, K. ; Vlk, A. ; Čapek, J. ; Hervoches, Charles ; Ganev, N.
To gain insight into the quality of the laser weld, information about the residual stress state across the weld is very useful. In this contribution, the residual stress profiles for lowalloy carbon steel plates of P355NL1 grade, which were laser welded from both sides, are presented. To separate the effects of the production of plates from the welding process, the samples were annealed for stress relieving. Using X-ray and neutron diffraction, the surface and bulk RS profiles were obtained. From the obtained data, first, the difference in the character of the longitudinal (parallel to the weld axis) and the transversal component of the RS tensor can be seen. The longitudinal component has a tensile character with a maximum value approximately 500 MPa. Values and character of the transversal component vary strongly with depth and distance from the weld axis.
