Analytical model of composite cantilever with SMART layer
Dostal, Vojtěch ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Majer, Zdeněk (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with analytical modelling of composite cantilever with smart layer. The structure is based on the real piezoelectric generator, which is a solid cantilever beam with a layer of piezoelectric material attached to its bottom and top. The first part of this bachelor's thesis summarizes the knowledge of the energy harvesting, the process under which harvesting of electric energy from the piezoelectric generator belongs. Some piezoelectric materials are mentioned and described afterwards. At first, analytical modelling is implemented on the homogeneous cantilever beam. Then, the relations for required characteristics are derived for laminate structure, which is structurally similar to the piezoelectric generator. One chosen parameter will be changeable. Due to the ties of relations, the required characteristics will change as well, which are for the piezoelectric generator strain and deflection.

Bend specimens: Numerical support in software ANSYS
Viszlay, Viliam ; Šimonová, Hana (referee) ; Seitl, Stanislav (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is the investigation of fracture-mechanics parameters on specimens made of quasi-brittle materials. The principles of two-parameter fracture mechanics are used. Couple of numerical simulations were done and their outputs are used for two main analysed specimen geometries. For simulations the finite element method software ANSYS is used. In the first part, the thesis focuses on bended specimens. The influence of different geometric parameters on fracture mechanics behaviour of cracked specimen is investigated. For model calibration the outputs of other authors are used. In the second part the specimens for modified compact-tension test (CT test) are analysed. Similar to the first part, the influence of geometric parameters of the specimen (in this case, the specimen size) on fracture mechanics parameters were investigated. The modified CT test was derived from CT test which is commonly used for metal materials testing as the suitable geometry for cement-based composite materials testing. The outputs of both parts are calibration polynomials, which are expressions obtained for different specimen geometries, giving the value of fracture mechanics parameter as the function of specimen geometry. As the example, calibration curves are used to obtain fracture toughness of tested material using the outputs from recent experiment.
