Assoc. Professor Jan Krmela (1978) earned his PhD
in Transport Means and Infrastructure from the University of Pardubice
in 2004 and earned his Assoc. Professor degree in Transport Means and
Infrastructure with the habilitation work "The computational modeling
of automobile tires" at the University of Pardubice in 2010. He is
currently head of the Department of numerical methods and computational
modeling at the Faculty of Industrial Technologies in Púchov at
Alexander Dubček University in Trenčín, Slovakia. He works at
the Alexander Dubček University in Trenčín at Slovakia and the
University of Pardubice at Czech Republic.
He is a member of the Association
of Mechanical Engineers (A.S.I.), the Czech Society for Mechanics and
the Scientific
Council at the Faculty of Industrial Technologies in Púchov. In
2006, he
received a special award for science and research activities by the
Rector of the University
of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic.
In 2016, he was awarded the Bronze Medal of Maximilián Hell for the development of the Faculty
of Industrial
Technologies in Púchov, science and education.
He
has been gaining experience in the FEM program ANSYS since 2000. He
co-operated
with the Fraunhofer Institut für Techno- und
Wirtschaftsmathematik ITWM, Kaiserslautern,
Germany
and the Kompetenzzentrum - Das Virtuelle Fahrzeug
Forschungsgesellschaft mbH, Graz,
Austria
(long-term stays by programs Erasmus+, DAAD and others stays). In 2016,
he delivered
lectures at the Belarusian State Technological
University in Minsk, Belarus.
He has been a supervisor of dissertation thesis; five Ph.D. students
successfully
finished under his guidance. He received financed projects GAČR, FRVS,
KEGA and
Erasmus+. He gives lectures, lessons and organizes seminars on
technical
subjects. His research areas are composites, tires, textiles, polymers,
computational simulation, special tests, 3D printing etc. His work has
been published in such journals as Vlákna a textil (Fibres and
Textiles), Procedia Engineering, Periodica Polytechnica Transportation
Engineering, Tire Technology International, Recent and International
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering. He authored over 200
publications in journals and conference proceeding and authored of
chapters of books and scientific monographs in the following
research areas:
- Computational modeling and tests of
composites with a rubber (an elastomer) matrix such as tire casings,
especially
with focus on strain-stress states and modal analysis and computational
modeling
of composites after the degradation processes, tire-road interaction
and
vehicle parts;
- Tests of
tires on static and dynamic
test machines with the pressure footprint analyses of contact
footprints
between tires and a plane road or a bump and also prediction of radial
stiffness of tires;
- Low
cyclic loading tests of
composites with textiles on a test machine with a video extensometer
and static
tests of composites with planning of tests with a design of geometric
parameters of test samples and test conditions for testing of tire
casing parts;
- Tensile
tests of textile yarns and textile fabric;
- Determination
of material parameters
that can be used as input data into computational models of composites
and tires;
- Microscopic
observation of interface
bonds between steel and textile cords and an elastomer;
- 3D printing
of technical objects and fashion accessories as earrings and ring from
“wood“ for student model collection.
