Fracture mechanics parameters of multilayer pipes
(University of West Bohemia, 2007-10-19)Multilayer pipes consisting of different materials are frequently used in praxis because of partial improvement of the properties of pipe systems. To estimate lifetime of these pipes the basic fracture parameters have to ... -
Biomechanical Evaluation of the MACSTL Internal Fixator for Thoracic Spinal Stabilisation
(University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno, 2008-03-15)Unstable fractures of the thoracic spine in humans represent a serious social and economic issue. They may lead to persistent consequences and chronic disease. The anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the thoracic ... -
Crack propagation in the vicinity of the interface in layered materials
(University of West Bohemia, 2009-01-04)Paper deals with the problem of crack propagation in the vicinity of the interface in layered materials. Layered materials are often used in practice, primarily because of their better mechanical properties in comparison ... -
Design of pressure sensor based on optical fiber Bragg grating lateral deformation
(MDPI, 2010-12-08)This paper describes steps involved in the design and realization of a new type of pressure sensor based on the optical fiber Bragg grating. A traditional pressure sensor has very limited usage in heavy industrial environments, ... -

Computational Modelling of the Unbalanced Magnetic Pull by Finite Element Method
(Elsevier, 2012-11-05)This paper presents a process of calculating of the unbalanced magnetic pull in the rotating electrical machines based on the electromagnetic coupled field analysis. The computational model is ... -
Comparison of Different Load Spectra on Residual Fatigue Lifetime of Railway Axle
(Elsevier, 2014-06-18)The railway axles are subjected to variable amplitude loading. The variability is caused by many different regimes of train operation. The dominant load is caused by the weight of the vehicle, which generates rotary bending ... -
Critical applied stresses for a crack initiation from a sharp V-notch
(Gruppo Italiano Frattura, 2014-10-31)The aim of the paper is to estimate a value of the critical applied stress for a crack initiation from a sharp V-notch tip. The classical approach of the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LELM) was generalized, because ... -
Influence of Threshold Values on Residual Fatigue Lifetime of Railway Axles under Variable Amplitude Loading
(Elsevier, 2015-03-20)The paper deals with an estimation of residual fatigue lifetime of railway axles under real loading spectrum. The residual fatigue lifetime is given by magnitude of fatigue crack propagation rate. This rate depends ... -
Estimation of stepwise crack propagation in ceramic laminates with strong interfaces
(Gruppo Italiano Frattura, 2015-10-01)The contribution deals with a description of the specific crack behaviour in the layered alumina-zirconia ceramic laminate. The main aim is to clarify crack behaviour in the compressive layer and provide computational tools ... -
Understanding the edge crack phenomenon in ceramic laminates
(Gruppo Italiano Frattura, 2015-10-05)In this work, a 2D parametric finite element model has been developed to predict the onset and propagation of an edge crack in ceramic laminates using a coupled stress-energy criterion. This approach states that a crack ... -
A fractographic study of bending/torsion fatigue failure in metallic materials with protective surface layers
(Hindawi, 2016-06-10)Results are given of a fractographic study of biaxial in-phase bending/torsion fatigue fractures in specimens made of nitrided steel and nickel-based superalloy with protective coatings (diffusion coatings and plasma-sprayed ... -
Experimental and Computational Evaluation of Rolling Bearing Steel Durability
(Tanger Ltd., 2016-11-09)Rolling element bearings are widely-used machine components and their failure can result in damage to the whole machine. A bearing failure can be caused by many factors. In most cases it is damage on the raceway surface ... -
Selection of MEMS Accelerometers for Tilt Measurements
