RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES USING STOCHASTIC FINITE ELEMENT METHOD (original) (raw)

Author of the monograph, Juraj Králik, has been working at the Department of Structural Mechanics as assistant since September 1, 1976 and as associate professor since January 18, 1988. During the years 2000 - 2006 he was the head of Department. He holds lectures in two study programs: Engineering Structures and Transport Structures; and Civil Engineering and Architecture. He teaches the following subjects: Mechanics of Structures and Materials, Seismic Enginering and Computer Design, Risk Engineering, Safety and Reliability of Buildings. His regular students and doctoral students have won several prizes in the student research competitions at the Faculty. He has been implementing advanced computer programs and methods in teaching and research at the Department, being himself an author of more than 100 programs of the static and dynamic applications. He is guarantor of using the licensed software systems ANSYS and MathCAD at the Department and Faculty, too. As the co-guarantor, he has established the doctoral study program “Applied Mechanics”. During the years 2000-2006, in cooperation with the Slovak Chamber of the Civil Engineers he was the supervisor of seven volumes of the postgraduate study course „Aeroelasticity and Seismicity“, and the chairman of seven volumes of the International Conference „New Trends in the Statics and Dynamics of Buildings“. His results were presented in more than 300 papers in conference proceedings and journals, 10 papers are indexed in prestigious database „Web of Science“. Three papers were published in the currented international journals „Mathematics and Computers in Simulation” (1999), „Control and Cybernetics” (2006) and “Engineering Structures” (2009). 17 research and grant projects were managed by him. His works were cited in more than 200 papers in scientific and special publications. As the reputable scientific personality he was the member of the scientific committees of several international conferences abroad. In the year 1989 he was appointed an expert of the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants in Slovakia. He cooperated at the analysis of the seismic resistance of the nuclear power plant buildings and their safety under impact of explosion, missile and container drop. More than 100 expertises were realized by him in the field of the safety and reliability of the NPP buildings in Slovakia. Some of his research and expert works were awarded by significant institutions. The most significant is the honorable award of the Czech Engineering Academy for the paper „Probability Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structure Failure of Nuclear Power Plants Due to Loss of Coolant Accident “ published in the journal „ENGINEERING MECHANICS“ in 2006.
