Fracture mechanics description of three dimensional structures: numerical analysis and physical consequences of constraint
Co-investigator: Ing. Stanislav Seitl, Ph.D.
Number of Project: M100410901
Agency: Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
Duration: 01. 06. 2009 - 31. 05. 2012
The project should bring new knowledge concerning the mechanism and rate of the fatigue crack growth in 3D bodies including influence of geometry with complicated material structure. New methods for computations of residual service life of bodies with fatigue cracks are expected to be developed for shape different three-dimensional bodies with cracks.
