A study of the stress distribution near the sharp notch tip
Svoboda, Petr ; Majer, Zdeněk (referee) ; Profant, Tomáš (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with the problem of determining the stress singularity exponent of the V-notch. This task can be divided into two parts. The first deals with the theoretical background, that means the basic relations of mechanics and the basic concepts of fracture mechanics. The second part deals with the elaboration of the Williams method and the creation of a program for calculating the stress singularity exponent.

On an estimation of the exponent of the stress singularity: three dimensional problems and effect of residual stresses on a crack arrested on the interface
Máša, Bohuslav ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Hutař, Pavel
The main aim of this paper is an investigation of the crack behavior in the ceramics laminates. Especially, the problem of the estimation of the stress singularity exponent in such a material using different approaches is closely described. Since analytical approach is a suitable tool for two dimensional problems, introducing residual stresses, which can be result of used procedures during composite production, may influence value of the stress singularity exponent. Unfortunately, there is formally no analytical tool available to introduce residual stresses. Moreover, when the three dimensional geometry is investigated, effects of complicated stress distribution in front of the crack tip are of crucial importance for crack behavior. Hence using numerically obtained stress distribution appears to be the only way, how to capture the effect of residual stresses and three dimensional geometry of the crack front. The stress singularity exponent can be directly determined from stress components in front of the crack tip and/or from displacements at faces of the crack. Both can provide good results and give us a solution, which cannot be obtained analytically. In following text the procedure will be described in more detail and shown results obtained on ceramic laminate.
Reliability assessment of bodies with general singular stress concentrator
Klusák, Jan
The paper presents a method leading to reliability assessment of bodies with general singular stress concentrator. The method uses combination of analytical and numerical procedures to determine fracture-mechanics parameters. The approach is based on comparison of fracture behaviour of body with a crack and a body with a general singular stress concentrator. The goal of the paper is to determine value of applied stress that leads to initiation of failure of construction.
