Numerical modeling of surface elastic wave scattering in polycrystalline materials
Grabec, Tomáš ; Ryzy, M. ; Verres, I. A.
Grain-boundary scattering of acoustic waves in polycrystalline materials is studied with analytical and numerical methods in the presented paper. In particular, the attenuation of Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs) propagating through a polycrystalline microstructure is investigated. A three dimensional timedomain finite-element method (FEM) is utilized for the numerical simulation, whereby the granular microstructure is modeled by Voronoi tessellation. The resulting frequency-dependent attenuation coefficients are compared to an explicit analytical model.

Young's Modulus on the Interface of Elastic and Elastic-Plastic Material
Kocmanová, Lenka ; Haušild, P. ; Materna, A. ; Matějíček, Jiří
The paper is aimed at determining the Young's modulus at the sharp interface between two materials, where one material is elastic and the other elastic-plastic. To determine the Young's modulus was used 3D numerical model of nanoindentation with conical indenter. The interface between the materials with the normal plane perpendicular to the direction of penetration. The goal is to simulate the combination of metal and ceramic materials.\n Young modulus according to the standardized distance from the interface are approximated inverse beta distribution and is determined by the relation between parameters inverse beta distribution of the size of the area affected by the second phase

Thermal Coatings for Glass Industry
Chráska, Pavel ; Neufuss, Karel
A new type of plasma torch with combined stabilization of electric arc by water vortex and gas flow is presented. This hybrid water/gas stabilization offers the possibility of adjusting plasma jet parameters within a wide range from high-enthalpy low-density plasmas typical for liquid stabilized torches to lower enthalpy higher density plasmas generated in gas stabilized torches. Moreover, gas flow in the cathode part protects a cathode tip and thus a consumable graphite cathode used in water-only stabilized plasma torches could be replaced by a fixed tungsten cathode. Examples of hybrid WSP torch utilization for high temperature application are given.

Silicon carbide for chemical application prepared by SPS method
Brožek, Vlastimil ; Kubatík, Tomáš František ; Vilémová, Monika ; Mušálek, Radek ; Mastný, L.
Silicon carbide discovered more than 121 years ago has a wide usage in the mechanical engineering industry as well as in electrical engineering.It is an excellent abrasive medium as well as a construction material with high resistance to mechanical and chemical deterioration.Under standard condition, silicon carbide has no melting point (decomposes at 2700 °C – principle used for industrial production of silicon),thus the bulk form must be prepared in a composite form with a metallic, ceramic or polymer binder. This method is suitable for tailoring of mechanical properties; nevertheless,it does not produce SiC form applicable for laboratory purposes.Binder-free sintering of SiC is practically impossible, despite decreased chemical resistivity of the produced material. Pure SiC is insoluble in all acids except hydrofluoric acid.Reaction of SiC with HF is enabled only due to residual SiO2 created during the industrial production.However, SiO2 located between the planes of growth of SiC
