Stone surface topography of Prague historic monuments over the centuries
Kovářová, K.; Cihla, Michal; Malát, R.; Semerád, M.; Tryml, M.
2022 - English
Stonemasons tool traces on stone surface are undoubtably a significant part of monument historic value. As any other profession, stonemasons craft develops over time and has its own specifics in every period. Each work has its own unique pattern and bears traces of individual stonemason workshops, tradition, etc. The study of building stone cutting is based on evolving methods of mechanoscopy and analytical traceology. Stone traceology deals with traces in material and the subsequent reconstruction of tools and the processes of stoneworking. The interpretation of data in terms of determining the actual trace is called a mechanoscopy. When studying a stone surface, the latest 3D modelling technology is used with subsequent analyses by means of Global Mapper software. The use of these methods enables reconstruction of the craftsman’s tools. The presented article is an extract of a study that systematically maps the stone cutting work in the territory of Prague from the oldest buildings to the present day. For example, stonework in 9th century Prague was gradually evolving from simple stone block modelling to sophisticated cutting of blocks in the 12th century. This information can be very useful in the process of monument care.

Creep of oak dowel: various loading and environmental conditions
Hasníková, Hana; Kunecký, Jiří; Hataj, M.
2022 - English
For research of timber joints, the crucial role in force distribution inside the joint is played by distribution and variability of stiffness of the dowels. Not only the instant stiffness, but the one that we can encounter after some longer period. Also, this value and its statistical distribution is influenced by many other factors, however, humidity and temperature are in timber (oak) dowels of utmost importance. In the work results of a creep experiment made using a special testing rig is presented. It has been found, that biggest changes in creep behavior are in case if very humid conditions are present, and, also, that cycling the temperature in high humidity conditions can produce about 104% of the original instantaneous displacement. The result is not surprising, however, new insights are made thanks to relatively high number of samples and ability to produce some statistics. Another outcome is relation of dowel stiffness in time to the level of applied stress, which is quantified in the article.

Comparison of mechanical properties of wood determined by local gently destructive tests and fully destructive tests on building elements
Drdácký, Miloš; Kloiber, Michal; Valluzzi, M. R.; Casarin, F.
2022 - English
Demolition or repair of historic buildings is a valuable source of test materials for testing nondestructive and gently destructive methods for estimating the mechanical properties of built-in wood. The article uses the results of one such opportunity, when it was possible to study the mechanical properties of wood obtained by local measurements on a larger sample of historic and new wooden beams and compare them with the properties calculated from destructive tests of structural elements. Thirty-one wood elements (nineteen recovered from disassembled buildings and twelve new) were subjected to considerately destructive local tests using a loading mini-jack method. In this method, a small loading jack is inserted into a precisely drilled hole and a load test of the wood in compression along the fibers is performed on a part of the hole wall while measuring the achieved deformation under load. Red and white firs, and pine species constituted the recovered elements - red fir and larch the new ones. Destructive tests (in bending and compression) were also carried out on ten recovered and six new elements, and results were correlated with those of considerately destructive tests. Comparison of the assessed mechanical properties shows reasonably good correlation and promising conclusions for practical applications.

Modeling the moving cogwheel load - analysis using ANSYS & Matlab
Bayer, Jan
2022 - English
A moving impulse load generated by a heavy cogwheel (CW) can be used as a testing excitation for bridges. This previously proposed type of dynamic testing offers theoretically short testing times. Laboratory experiments confirmed already its capability of damage indication by repeated testing. This contribution suggests an approach how to solve the cogwheel movement using a Finite Element (FE) solver and Matlab. As the solution is theoretically nonlinear, the necessary limiting conditions for its application are formulated. Then the analysis is applied to simulate the passage of the CW over a simple laboratory model in order to compare it to laboratory experiments.

Aeroelastic instability of differently porous U-profiles in crosswind direction
Hračov, Stanislav; Macháček, Michael
2022 - English
Flow-induced vibrations of the flexibly mounted slender U-shaped beams allowed to oscillate in the crosswind direction only are studied experimentally in the wind tunnel. All beams are characterized by a cross section having a side ratio of along-wind to across-wind dimension equal to two. The effects of two depths of U profiles and two porosities of their flanges ( 0 % and 75 %) onto a loss of aeroelastic stability are investigated under the smooth flow conditions and for low Scruton numbers. The results indicate almost similar proneness of the non-porous beams to galloping-type oscillations to a rectangular prism with the same side ratio regardless their depth. The onset of across-wind galloping occurred in these cases at wind velocity very close to von-Kármán-vortex-resonance flow speed, even though the critical velocity predicted by the quasisteady theory is much lower. For porous and shallower U profile this asynchronous quenching also takes\nplace. However, the higher flange porosity reduces significantly not only the vortex-shedding effect, but also causes an increase in the onset galloping velocity above the critical speed determined for non-porous profiles. In the case of deeper U-shaped beam, the effect of higher porosity even suppresses the proneness to galloping

Solving the moving mass problem on large finite element models with modal analysis – estimation of the discrete movement error
Bayer, Jan
2021 - English
Solving transient dynamic problems on large finite element (FE) models using a direct integration requires a high sampling rate and therefore also considerable computing times because of the large system matrices. Movement of a mass on a FE model has to follow the discrete pattern of the FEs, and is therefore of a discrete character. This introduces an unknown\nerror into the analytical results. Applying modal analysis (MA) reduces the number of equations used in the subsequent numerical integration by orders of magnitude. Resampling of the mode shapes to the required sampling rate makes it possible to solve the moving mass problem much more quickly and quasi-continuously. The performed comparative analytical study using ANSYS and MATLAB showed that using a discrete movement on the FE mesh when solving a moving mass problem can cause a considerable error.

Description of the quasi-periodic response caused by combined harmonic and random excitation
Náprstek, Jiří; Fischer, Cyril
2021 - English
The generalized van der Pol equation exposed to combined harmonic and random excitation can exhibit a quasi-periodic response. The existence of this particular type of response depends on the detuning between the driving and resonance frequencies. The response is stationary for a ”small” or ”large” value of detuning. The contribution specifies in detail the detuning interval in which the quasi-periodic response occurs.

Zacílená rentgenová tomografie s vysokým rozlišením
Kumpová, Ivana; Vopálenský, Michal
2021 - Czech
Metoda rentgenové mikro-tomografie je stále více využívána mimo jiné při výzkumu materiálových charakteristik a lomového chování stavebních materiálů. Poskytuje slibné výsledky v oblasti trojrozměrného pozorování a kvantifikace prvků mikrostruktury, včetně objektů lomu. Se standardním přístupem k získávání tomografických dat je však dosažitelné rozlišení výrazně omezeno velikostí zkoumaného objektu, což má za následek omezení nebo dokonce úplnou ztrátu užitečných informací týkajících se například tvaru a velikosti lomové procesní zóny. Z tohoto důvodu byly v této práci testovány možnosti tomografického cílení na zájmovou oblast s vyšším dosažitelným rozlišením, než je obvyklý limit tomografických systémů. The method of X-ray micro-tomography is increasingly used in the research of material characteristics and fracture behavior of building materials. It brings promising results in the field of three-dimensional observation and quantification of microstructure elements, including fracture objects. However, with the standard approach to the tomographic data acquisition, the achievable resolution is severely limited by the size of the examined object resulting in a reduction or even complete loss of useful information regarding, for example, the shape and size of the fracture process zone. For this reason, the possibilities of tomographic targetting of the region of interest with a higher achievable resolution than the usual limit of the tomographic systems have been tested in this work.
