Offer Description

Design of a simulation model for the cutting of metallic and non-metallic materials by an electron beam

Main ideas of the proposed dissertation topic:

The aim is to create a geometric, mathematical, and simulation model for the ANSYS program. The

geometric model will be dimensionally identical to real samples of metallic and non-metallic

materials, which will be divided into quadratic volume elements using mesh generation. The denser

the mesh is chosen, the more accurate the calculations will be. The mathematical model will be

defined based on the shape of the heat source and the heat flow density. At the same time, it is

essential to consider the thermophysical and mechanical properties of individual materials

depending on the temperature. The results obtained from the numerical analyses give a relatively

objective picture of the behavior of materials under the influence of the electron beam. The creation

of a computer simulation will serve to clarify the thermal and stress-strain analysis of the cutting of

various metallic and non-metallic materials by an electron beam, directly applicable in practice.

Supervisor: doc. Ing. Erika Hodúlová, PhD.
