Computational simulation of the compression test of the open cell metal foam
Homola, Václav ; Skalka, Petr (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
The thesis presents computational simulation of compression test of a nickel foam and the 3D reconstruction of micro-CT images was utilized to generate the foam’s model of geometry. Explicit FEM is used to simulate compression test using software tool LS-DYNA and the stress–deformation curve is obtained together with deformed model’s mesh used for subsequent analysis. Sensitivity analyses were performed to configure the model and ensure best fit with values obtained during real-life experiment. The ANSYS Classic environment was then used to simulate tensile test of the foam compressed to various thicknesses. The tensile moduli in three mutually perpendicular directions of nickel foam were computed and the results were compared to experimental values as well. The results of tensile test simulation revealed considerable anisotropy of the foam’s elastic behavior. It can be said that the measured experimental data correspond very well with the elastic properties obtained from simulation up to certain level of compression. Analysis of the relationship between the element size and tensile moduli showed a significant difference between fine and coarse mesh. The optimal level of discretization and the overall model configuration ensuring high level of accuracy is proposed in this thesis.

Leachability of Cu, Ni and Co from alkali-activated matrices
Janíčková, Vlasta ; Kalina, Lukáš (referee) ; Koplík, Jan (advisor)
The work deals with the determination and comparison of leaching of heavy metals from two types of alkali activated systems based on blast furnace slag and high-temperature fly ash. These systems are capable in their structure encapsulate heavy metals, toxic substances or radioactive substances, which can be harmful for the environment. The aim of this work is to prepare a mixture with acceptable mechanical properties. Leachibility from matrix was tested according to ČSN EN 12457–4, followed by analyses Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Structure of matrix was analysed using Scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Experimental manufacturing of multiphase Ni-Si based layers
Rončák, Ján ; Moravčík, Igor (referee) ; Jan, Vít (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the preparation of the composite material based on the NiSi system using powder metallurgy supplemented by the sintering with the usage of SPS method (spark plasma sintering). Theoretical part contains general information about the mechanical-chemical process and sintering, while materials and methods used for experimental observation are explained in a separate chapter. Experimental part explains the procedure of the experiment and selected parameters of individual processes. In the experiment, two powder mixtures were created in order to form the NiSi phase in the maximum possible amount of powder material. After successfully reaching presence of the NiSi phase in the range of 87 to 89 wt. %, both mixtures were used to produce sintered samples at temperatures from 700 to 900 °C. Experiments showed the best results for sample number 2, which was sintered at 900 °C for 4 minutes. Resulting porosity was 0.9 % and hardness reached a maximum value of 718 HV 1. However, all sintered samples show cracks at room temperature associated with increased brittleness of the material.
