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.

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.

Vyhlídal, Michal ; Seitl, Stanislav (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
The aim of this work is to analyze the behavior of cement composite, depending on the features of ITZ. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and deals with the origin and features of ITZ, defines the basic relationships and concepts of continuum mechanics and linear elastic fracture mechanics and presents crack tips posibilities in the three-phase composite, including their short characterization. The second part is practical and describes creation of numerical model in the ANSYS software, presentation of partial results and compare of them. The result of this work is a comparison of the mean values of stress and amplitude of stress depending on the features of ITZ.

Havlíková, Ivana ; Králík,, Juraj (referee) ; Němeček,, Jiří (referee) ; Keršner, Zbyněk (advisor)
The purpose of dissertation is the analysis of the calculation of fracture parameters using Double-K fracture model for quasi-brittle specimens with the stress concentrator loaded by three-point bending or wedge splitting. To calculation of these parameters was used the developed DKFM_BUT software in Microsoft Excel application with using of Visual Basic programming language. Furthermore, the adequate shape functions and compliance functions were introduced for the selected wedge splitting test configurations. Main part of this dissertation is the series of comprehensively implemented and evaluated fracture experiments on specimens from advanced building materials, while the attention was paid to the analysis of experimental data. Finally, the selected results obtained using mentioned software support were presented and discussed.

Influence of Structure Directionality on Fatigue Properties of Formed Al Alloy.
Jíša, David ; Mazal, Pavel (referee) ; Liškutín, Petr (advisor)
The main goal of this diploma thesis is the examination of the influence of structure directionality on fatigue properties of formed aluminium alloy 6082/T6. The main attention is focused on the study of the influence of structure directionality on kinetics of short fatigue cracks growth. The measurement of short fatigue cracks growth was performed on cylindrical samples. The samples were made in two different directions; one parallel with the forming direction and second perpendicular to the forming direction. Servo hydraulic machine MTS 880 was used for the cyclic loading. The samples were cycled at two different constant stress amplitudes. Cyclic loading was systematically interrupted in order to measure the length of short cracks by a light microscope. Tensile tests, measuring of cycling hardening-softening curves, observation of microstructure, observation of surface relief, measuring of microhardness and fractographical analysis of fracture surfaces were used for further examination of the influence of the structure directionality. Some of these measured characteristics did not show any influence of the structure directionality (microhardness, fatigue life curve, Young modulus). In other cases is this influence measurable, however insignificant (yield stress, ultimate stress, cyclic hardening-softening curves and kinetics of short fatigue cracks growth). It can be summarised that the material, though the directionality of its microstructure is apparent, shows relatively isotropic mechanical behaviour.

Analysis of crack propagation using J-integral
Bónová, Kateřina ; Květoň, Josef (referee) ; Eliáš, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on importance and application of J-integral in crack propagation analysis. J-integral is a method of fracture mechanics used to determine the strain energy release rate. In other words it provides the amount of energy available for crack propagation in elastic and elasto-plastic materials. The thesis presents derivations of relations between J-integral, crack driving force and stress intensity factor. The most important contribution of this thesis is detailed analytical calculation of the J-integral on simple structures. The results are verified by numerical models in ANSYS.

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.

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.

Diplomová práce popisuje metodiku výpočtů částí náchylných k rozvoji mnoho-ohniskového únavového poškození (WFD). Nejdříve se práce zabývá rozborem předpisů letové způsobilosti souvisejících s WFD pro letadla certifikovaných podle FAR 23 v kategorii commuter. Následuje popis metodiky únavového výpočtu a predikce šíření trhliny. Dále jsou popsány řešení pro výpočet faktoru intenzity napětí pro základné konfigurace trhliny, tam kde to bylo možné v uzavřeném tvaru, jinak ve formě tabulky.
