Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The course is focused on presentation of modern techniques of study of physical properties of geomaterials and their behavior in selected model conditions. Emphasis is placed mainly on mechanical properties and deformation response of studied materials in relation to their composition and structure or other physical characteristics. Student will get an overview of used physical methods and experimental techniques. They will acquire theoretical knowledge related to the design and preparation of mechanical tests of materials as well as special triaxial experiments. The graduate will acquire skills in analyzing experimental data from such experiments based on physical models. The acquired theoretical knowledge and analytical skills will be complemented by an appropriate form (actively or passively) within experiments carried out in the laboratories of the Institute of Geonics, AS CR.

Overview of selected experimental methods and techniques for studying other physical properties, structure and composition of geomaterials (eg porosimetry, water absorption, fluid transport in geomaterials, sound propagation in geomaterials, thermal and spectral methods). 6. Methodology of experiments studying mechanical response of geomaterials I (basic uniaxial and triaxial tests: simple and direct tension test, Brazilian test, isotropic compression, CTC, RTC, RTE, CTE, PS and TTC test, relaxation test and creep test; study of defect propagation - determination of fracture toughness) 7. Methodology of experiments studying the mechanical response of geomaterials II (cyclic loading, load control regimes beyond the limit of the breach, experiments with pore pressure) 8. Strain and strain detection in the experiment (load cell and manometer design, strain gauges - Wheastone bridge, LVDT sensors, extensometer types, 3D deformation analysis, measurement errors) 9. Overview of experimental techniques for mechanical tests (Actuator for uniaxial load, roller of jaws and jaws, triaxial testing - right triaxial cells - solutions and their deficiencies, structural types of classical triaxial chamber with axially symmetrical loading, realization of extension tests). 10. Practical part.

Analysis and evaluation of these experiments. Optional visit to other experimental workplaces of the Institute of Geology of the AS CR. Laboratory of Infrared Spectroscopy, Laboratory of Microscopy, Laboratory of Thermal Analysis). Selection of experiments according to the current research plan of the laboratories and the orientation of the doctoral dissertation.
