Časově závislá plastická deformace-creep je jedním z nejdůležitějších degradačních faktorů, určujících životnost zirkoniových slitin, určených k pokrytí jaderného paliva vodou chlazených reaktorů v jaderné energetice. Příspěvek je věnován creepovým zkouškám povlakových tyčí slitiny Zr1%Nb (modifikace slitiny E110) používaných v reaktorech typu VVER. Vedle standardní creepové zkoušky při konstantním tahovém napětí bude demonstrována nestandardní speciální creepová zkušební metoda umožňující měření velmi malých creepových deformací při napětích blížících se reálným podmínkám namáhání v reálné praxi. Time-dependent plastic deformation – creep is one of the most important degradation factors which govern the life of zirconium alloys used as fuel claddings materials in the light water reactor in nuclear power industry. This work aims to describe creep testing of Zr1%Nb (modified E110 alloy) cladding tubes used in the VVER-type reactor. In addition to a standard creep testing method under constant tensile test a nonstandard special creep testing method which has been developed to measure very small creep strains at stresses corresponding to the loading in real service.

The effect of the backfill on the integrity of a buried pipeline upon heavy-duty vehicle crossings
Gajdoš, Lubomír; Šperl, Martin; Slížková, Zuzana; Drdlová, M.
2023 - English
The aim of this work was to determine stresses in the wall of a buried empty gas pipeline caused by the weight of backfill as well as by heavy-duty vehicles crossing the pipeline, and, on their basis to assess the applicability of protective sleeves. A buried pipeline with zero internal pressure of transported medium (empty pipeline) differs from an unburied pipeline by the vertical load due to the weight of the backfill which causes an ovalness of the circular cross section of the pipeline. This leads to the rise of through-wall bending stresses with the tensile stress at the outside surface at the 3 and 9 o´clock positions and compressive stress at the inside surface. At the 6 and 12 o´clock positions the stresses are tensile at the inside surface and compressive at the outside surface. The current depth of soil cover above gas pipelines is 0.5 m. For pipes DN500, t ~ 6.5 mm the through-wall bending stress is found to be σb ≈ ±10 MPa. In comparison with the yield stress of pipeline material, this stress is negligible. The situation is changed when heavy-duty vehicles cross the pipeline. For example, when a MAN truck with the mass load 3270 kg acting on a single wheel of the front axle crosses this pipeline, the pressure transmitted to the pipe will cause the through-wall bending stress σb ≈ ±76 MPa. This stress is superimposed to that of the backfill to give the total value ±86 MPa. When dead loads, imposed by backfill cover, together with live loads, caused by truck-wheel loads, are excessive a crushing of side walls of the pipeline and/or ring buckling of the pipe cross section can happen.

Experimental evaluation of aluminothermic welds
Zeman, L.; Valach, J.; Zlámal, P.; Krčmářová, N.; Koudelková, Veronika; Zeman, J.
2023 - English
The article presents a study of the mechanical processes occurring during the aluminother-mic reaction using experimental methods (strain gauges, digital image correlation, thermography,scanning electron microscopy, profilometry). The aluminothermic reaction is a highly efficient weldingmethod due to its exothermic behaviour, however, it places considerable demands not only on thewelding technique, but also on the capabilities of the experimental methods used - these limitationsare also discussed in the article. The aluminothermic reaction is associated with the formation of alocalised heat source with a time evolution dictated by the technological procedure, which manifestsitself in heat propagation to the surrounding weld material. The unequal evolution of the temperaturefield is the fundamental cause of the appearance of the heat affected zone or local deformations orsurface curvature, which was the focus of the experimental methods deployed above and the results ofwhich are shown in the article.

The reinforcement of fused filament fabricated (FFF) components with continuous fibers allows for high versatility in the design of mechanical properties for a specific application’s needs. However, the bonding quality between continuous fibers and the FFF matrix material has high impact on the overall performance of the composite. In a recent study [1], additively manufactured (AM) continuous fiber reinforced tensile test specimens have been investigated regarding the effect of amount and material of the embedded continuous fibers on tensile strength and AM build quality. During these tensile tests, a sudden reduction in tensile stress, which most likely was not related to actual rupture of continuous fibers, was noticeable. Since X-ray computed tomography (XCT) scans were performed only prior to and after the tensile testing, a detailed investigation on the origin of these drops in tensile stress was not possible. Within this work, we will expand upon these findings and present results of fast on-the-fly in-situ investigations performed on continuous carbon fiber reinforced specimens of the same AM build. During these investigations, specimens are loaded under the same conditions while fast XCT scans, with a total scan time of 12 seconds each, were performed consecutively. The resulting three-dimensional image data reveals internal meso- and macro-structural changes over time/strain to find the cause of the aforementioned reduction in tensile stress.

Jeskyně Krkonošského národního parku: jeskynní výplně a speleogeneze

Vertikální až subvertikální tlakové kanály převládají v původní freatické morfologii jeskyně. Jsou doplněny stropními koryty, facetami a stropními kupolemi. Infiltrační jeskynní sediment tvoří pelitická složka doplněná o hrubější autogenní příměsi. Sedimenty byly místy v jeskyních přemístěny drobnými vodotečemi z intenzivního skapu z otevřených puklin. Podle složení jílových a těžkých minerálů, zdrojem sedimentů byly zvětraliny okolního krystalinika, zralé, nezralé a polycyklické ve směsích. Nebyly zjištěny žádné alogenní uloženiny. Datování speleotém (i >400 ka) ukazuje, že jeskyně byly vyplněny a vyklízeny několikrát, zčásti nebo zcela. Normální polarizace klastických sedimentů ukazuje jejich uložení před 773 ka (chron Bruhnes). Speleotémy a velmi vzácné paleontologické nálezy to potvrzují. Speleotémy krystalizovaly většinou v interglaciálech či teplejších obdobích glaciálů, ale i v chladných až extrémně chladných obdobích glaciálů (MIS 2, MIS 6c to 6a, MIS 8b, MIS 10c to 11a). Připovrchové rozvolnění puklin tektonickými pohyby anebo krasovou korozí způsobilo remodelaci jeskyně a skalní řícení stěn. Kryogenní procesy pozměňovaly morfologii jeskynních stěn a stropů, ale rovněž poničily některé speleotémy. Jeskyně vznikly hluboko pod tehdejším povrchem vystupujícími tlakovými vodami. Jeskyně nemají žádnou vazbu na současný povrch. Jejich dnešní připovrchová pozice odpovídá postupnému výzdvihu území v průběhu mladších tektonických fází a zařezávání říčních údolí. Sub-/vertical phreatic channels dominate in original cave morphologies together with ceiling half-channels, scallops and ceiling cupolas. Infiltration cave sediments are composed of lutitic component with some coarser authochthonous admixture. Sediments were locally re-distributed by intensive drip from open fissures. According to clay and heavy minerals, the primary source was in weathering products of crystalline rocks, mature and immature or polycyclic mixed in different proportions. No allogenic sediments were detected. Speleothem dating indicates, that caves were filled and exhumed several times, partially or fully. Normal polarization of samples proved the deposition within the Brunhes Chron (<773 kyr). Speleothems and rare paleontological remains date clastic sediments to >400 kyr. Speleothems crystallized mostly during interglacials, but also in cold and extremely cold periods in glacials (MIS 2, MIS 6c to 6a, MIS 8b, MIS 10c to 11a). Tectonical near-surface rock fissuration and corrosion substantially contributed to cave re-shaping by rock falls. Cryogenic processes modified the morphology of cave walls and damaged speleothems. Mostly ascending speleogenesis took part in substantial depths under the surface without any link to the present morphology. Present near-surface position of most of caves reflects the gradual uplift during younger tectonic phases and incision of river systems.

Analyzing stochastic stability of a gyroscope through the stochastic Lyapunov function
Náprstek, Jiří; Fischer, Cyril
2023 - English
The text delves into the application of first integrals in the construction of Lyapunov functions for analyzing the stability of dynamic systems in stochastic domains. It emphasizes the distinct characteristics of first integrals that warrant the introduction of additional constraints to ensure the essential properties required for a Lyapunov function. These constraints possess physical interpretations associated with system stability. The general approach to testing stochastic stability is illustrated using the example of a 3-degrees-of-freedom system representing a gyroscope.

Conductive open-cell silicone foam for modulatable damping and impact sensing applications
Preuer, R.; Šleichrt, Jan; Kytýř, Daniel; Graz, I.
2023 - English
Nature has long served as a source of inspiration for the development of new materials, with foam-like structures in fruits such as oranges and pamelos serving as examples of efficient energy dissipation. In this study, we present the synthesis and characterization of a conductive silicone foam for potential impact sensing applications. By blending Sylgard 184 and Carbon Black, we create a highly porous structure capable of dissipating energy and modulating its resistance. To investigate the properties of the foam, we utilized both micro-computer tomography (μCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging techniques. The μCT imaging revealed the intricate pore network of the foam, reminiscent of the complex structure found in natural sponges. SEM imaging allowed for observation of the uniform distribution of Carbon Black particles within the foam, enabling the conductive properties of the foam. The foam’s mechanical behavior was characterized by a compression test under μCT imaging to measure the deformation behavior and changes in the foam’s resistance. Additionally, a ball drop test was conducted to investigate the foam’s damping behavior while simultaneously measuring the impact location by the local change in resistance. Remarkably, our results demonstrate the exceptional damping capabilities of the conductive silicone foam, with the damping ratio modulated by adjusting the degree of compression-induced deformation. This is attributed to the collapse of the foam’s porous structure, resulting in a significant increase in the foam’s contact area. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the behavior of conductive silicone foams and their potential as an impact sensing material. The use of both CT and SEM imaging techniques allows for a comprehensive understanding of the foam’s properties, which can be optimized for a variety of applications. The foam’s ability to modulate its damping properties by adjusting the degree of deformation provides a promising avenue for future research in the field of materials science and engineering.

Ramanova spektroskopie je nedestruktivní instrumentální analytická technika založená na Ramanově rozptylu, což je nepružný rozptyl fotonů, který vzniká při interakci s elektrony v chemických vazbách. S pomocí Ramanovy spektroskopie lze velmi rychle, bezkontaktně a nedestruktivně zanalyzovat chemické sloučeniny, jejich směsi a biologické vzorky, včetně živých organismů. Provedená měření lze srovnávat s databázemi spekter. Problémem Ramanovy spektroskopie je, že vzorky někdy poskytují slabý signál, který je často překryt intenzivní fluorescencí. K zesílení Ramanova rozptylu slouží SERS (povrchem zesílená Ramanova spektroskopie). Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive instrumental analytical technique based on Raman scattering, which is the inelastic scattering of photons that occurs when interacting with electrons in chemical bonds. With the help of Raman spectroscopy, chemical compounds, their mixtures and biological samples, including living organisms, can be analyzed very quickly, non-contactly and non-destructively. The performed measurements can be compared with spectra databases. A problem with Raman spectroscopy is that samples sometimes give a weak signal that is often overlaid by intense fluorescence. SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) is used to amplify Raman scattering.
