Ph.D. thesis: Study of the influence of transients phenomena in piezoceramics in terms of fracture-mechanical response

The aim of this work is to determine and explain the change in mechanical behaviour due to transients with emphasis on the fracture mechanical response in selected lead-free piezioceramics. The main goal of the doctoral thesis will be to study the mechanical and fracture behaviour of piezoceramics (for example BTO, BTZC, etc.) during its transition…

Ph.D. thesis: Microscopic processes at the fatigue crack tip

Fatigue crack growth is a process that is described macroscopically by quantities such as the stress intensity factor, J-integral or plastic part of the J-integral. There are many models of crack propagation at the microscopic level that consider plastic deformation around the crack tip, but which differ in details. Advances in experimental methods allow more…

Application of Cohesive Elements in Modeling Fracture of Heterogeneous Materials

The fracture process of concrete is a complex mechanism influenced by its highly heterogeneous internal structure: matrix/cement paste, aggregate, and pores. Damage development occurs at the interface between the cement paste and aggregate, where microcracks can form. The offered internship will focus on 2D/3D numerical modeling of this process using cohesive elements available in ANSYS…

Determining the endurance life of selected construction materials

Current methods for determining the fatigue life of concrete structures focus on reducing stresses in structural elements. However, this approach only considers the degradation of mechanical properties due to cyclic loading and not the gradual development of microcracks. This topic is primarily concerned with the experimental determination of the fatigue life of construction materials, particularly…
