Anotace

The student will be able to apply analytical and numerical methods for modeling stress in thin-walled and thick-walled structures and interpret the results in engineering practice. They will also be able to explain the physical nature of degradation mechanisms such as fatigue, creep, and brittle fracture processes in a nuclear environment. The student will be able to quantify the residual lifetime of components and apply the principles of both linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics in defect assessment. At the same time, they will be able to perform strength analyses of critical structural elements, particularly welded and bolted joints, with regard to their safety and reliability.
