Sensitivity analysis of stability problems of steel structures
Valeš, Jan ; Vičan,, Josef (referee) ; Kučerová,, Anna (referee) ; Melcher, Jindřich (referee) ; Kala, Zdeněk (advisor)
The doctoral thesis is focused on evaluation of global sensitivity analysis of load-carrying capacity of steel hot-rolled beams. These beams are subjected to lateral-torsional buckling, weak axis buckling and strong axis buckling. Very comprehensive computational models which were both geometrically and materially nonlinear were created in Ansys software using solid finite elements to calculate the load-carrying capacity. The computational models allowed modelling of random initial imperfections such as initial curvature, deviations of cross-section dimensions and steel properties. Sensitivity analysis quantified their influence on the load-carrying capacity. Simulation runs of random imperfections were generated using the Latin Hypercube Sampling method. Since the evaluation of sensitivity analysis of load-carrying capacity of all finite element models would cost an extreme amount of computer time, the thesis aimed at developing a meta-model (also known as surrogate model) based on approximation of FEM model. The approximation polynomial then facilitated the evaluation of sensitivity indices using a high number of simulation runs. At the end, the relationships between the slenderness and the first and second-order sensitivity indices are plotted in graphs. Those random input imperfections that influence the variability of load-carrying capacity the most are pointed out.

Nonlinear modeling of stable crack growth
Brumek, J. ; Strnadel, B. ; Dlouhý, Ivo
This paper presents numerical study to predict crack growth rate under fatigue loading in a high pressure cylinder wall made of high strength steel. Experimental fatigue crack growth data on three point bending test samples. were applied to simulate and predict crack growth process using detailed three dimensional parametric finite elements models. The fatigue crack propagation was based on linear elastic fracture mechanics and stress intensity factor determination. Finite element model provides results of crack growth analysis optimized for the stress levels of operating pressure level. Results are plotted on a-N. Results were compared with an experimental fatigue test.

MKP analýza poranění hlavy během dopravní nehody
Kunecký, Jiří ; Jiroušek, Ondřej
The work is based on the Visible Human Project. Impact acceleration history is taken from MADYMO accident simulation. For the solution LS-DYNA software is used.The paper shows possibility to use detailed finite element model of human head to predict or describe injuries during mechanical loading as in this case of a traffic accident. The possibility of using combination of rigid body modeling of the whole situation together with detailed FE model of the region of interest is highly advantageous. However, the model should be verified in large number of reconstructions.

Aplication Johnson - Cook model in simulation of Charpy impact test
Severa, Martin
Charpy impact test is widely used as a reliable method for brittle fracture characterization of steel materials under high loading rates. In these days, numerical/analytical analysis of studied phenomenon as a valuable information to experimental results is desired. In this work material model based on Johnson – Cook equations was used for prediction of the dynamic behavior of the experimental material. Parameters obtained by means of static and dynamic material tests were introduced into the FE model. Comparison of numerical solution and data obtained in experimental Charpy impact test procedure is presented.
