Abstract
This diploma examines the feasibility of a dynamic test of a prefabricated joint on a closing valve of a pipeline. Various models were built with the Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate the experiment. The regularity of the simulation results was examined with analytical-numerical models. The most accurate of the produced models were used to define the optimal values of adjustable parameters of the test. This values were checked by models once again at the end.
