2. round (applications submitted from 11.11.2013 to 13.12.2013)

1. Analysis of nonlinear fracture of structural materials using acoustic emission and radiography

   Majority of structural materials can be categorized, from the material failure point of view, as quasi-brittle or ductile. They are characteristic by formation and propagation of sizeable nonlinear zone in front of the tip of a defect that causes violation of their integrity. Capturing the nonlinear zone influence is the key to significant improvement in accuracy of the failure description. Nonlinear zone characterization will be conducted via advanced experiments (AE, X-ray) and simulations.

   Supervisor: Veselý Václav, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

2. Analysis of the failure proceses of railway sleepers

   Pre-stressed reinforced concrete railway sleepers are among the most massively produced and used structural members. Their failure under different loadings concerning both boundary conditions (laboratory tests under three-point bending - quality-controlling tests, when placed in the railway superstructure) and type of the loading (static, dynamics, fatigue). Attention will be paid to detailed modelling of failure in selected parts of the sleeper. The work will contain also related experiments.
