Numerical simulation of of human voice propagation through the vocal tract and in the space around the body
Batelka, Jiří ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
This master's thesis handles description of the source-filter theory of voice production, anatomy of larynx, possible approaches to voice production modelling and selected works using these approaches in first chapter. Brief description of selected quantities used in acoustics and model creation follows. Models of only the head and head with female and male torso are created, including mesh testing to determine suitable element size. Models created in this thesis focus on description of voice propagation primarily in front of body and on influence of torso on sound propagation. Inclusion of torso results in fluctuations in frequency domain in range from 1 000 Hz to 8 000 Hz, more pronounced near lower frquencies. In transverse plane the presence of torso manifests in lower SPL in front of mouth and higher SPL on the sides for several frequencies. Regions with decrease of SPL in front of mouth are coindicent with frequencies, where higher SPL on sides in comparision with direction in front of the mouth is evident. These observations are in agreement with other works. No significant differences were observed between models with different torsos in the transverse plane. Below the transverse plane differences between models with different torsos can be observed, for example for some frequencies decrease in SPL isn't observed in front of mouth in directivity diagrams for model with male torso.

Production of casing
Hájek, Pavel ; Podaný, Kamil (referee) ; Lidmila, Zdeněk (advisor)
This master’s project describes a proposal for manufacturing technology of a horizontal boring machine case. This case is manufactured by HESTEGO a.s. from a DC01 steel sheet, which is 2 mm thick and its production series is 200 pieces a year. Punching and bending were chosen as the most suitable methods from the considered manufacturing technologies. The theoretical part of the thesis includes a study of the chosen manufacturing technologies. Based on the analysis of the technological calculations and the available tools in the manufacturing company, a technological procedure was designed and these machines were chosen: punching machine TruPunch 5000 a servo-electronic press brake SAFAN E – BRAKE 100–3100. Technical and economical evaluation is also included in the proposal.

Using of Transfer Matrix Method for Modal Characteristics of Vocal Tract
Meisner, Patrik ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Hájek, Petr (advisor)
The first part of the bachelor thesis describes anatomy of the vocal tract, voice creation and its modification. Some pathologies are listed at the end of the first part. The contents of second part are previously published computational models of the vocal tract followed by the method of transfer matrices for the Czech vowel [u:]. Modal analysis is performed by the transfer matrix method. The output are first three natural frequencies. Obtained frequencies are compared to values in the literature and to values calculated by the finite element method.

Computational Modelling of Self- oscillations of the Human Vocal Folds
Hájek, Petr ; Šidlof,, Petr (referee) ; Radolf, Vojtěch (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
The presented dissertation thesis deals with a simulation of the human phonation in terms of latest theories. Phonation is considered here as a bi-directional fluid-structure-acoustic interaction, where the interaction between all three physical domains occurs due to the unsteady viscous compressible Navier-Stokes equations. There is a solid knowledge background in the first part of the thesis. It concerns the latest concepts in computational modeling of the human phonation, the most important and recent theories about the human voice production and some key aspects of the human anatomy, physiology and pathology. Also voice assessment is discussed. The second part of the thesis describes an in-depth analysis of a phonation simulation in a planar computational model. The basic concepts proceed from algorithms developed in the Institute of Solid Mechanics, Mechatronics and Biomechanics. Created models are able to reproduce sounds of all Czech vowels and the most common evaluated parameters very close to physiological ranges. The simulated pathology, Reinke's edema, is demonstrated in order to explore its influence on the vowel sound. The third part focuses on modeling of phonation in a spatial computational model. All Czech vowels are simulated also here and compared to the planar model and to actual measurement. The spatial model serves as the starting point to modeling of a longitudinal pretension incorporated in the vocal folds. In the last part of the thesis, a modeling of the phonation with vocal folds pretension is investigated. Although the models are tuned to a rather soft phonation, the results are in agreement with the relevant physiologic phenomena. While the spatial model is highly computationally expensive, a hybrid planar model with pretension is proposed. A special attention is paid to the analysis of self-sustained oscillation of the vocal folds. It is shown, the planar model cannot reproduce such kind of oscillation in the actual version, albeit time of oscillation was considerably extended. On the other hand, oscillation of the spatial vocal folds are stabilized without effects accompanying subduing of oscillation. It can be supposed that the spatial model is able to reproduce self-sustained oscillation as a basic principle present during the human phonation.

Stress-strain analysis of dental implant inserted in maxilla
Dušková, Tereza ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
Variety of problems can appear when introducing dental implants, especially to in the maxilla. Biggest problems are caused by insufficient quality and volume of the bone tissue of the alveolar process. This thesis focuses on stress-strain analysis of an implant introduced in the maxilla. Mechanical interaction between the implant and bone tissue is solved using computational modelling with the finite element method. From analysis of results, it was discovered that deformation and tension of the implant are influenced by the direction of the load, osseointegration and thickness of the cortical bone tissue. In the anterior region, it is necessary to work with other types of load than axial.

Analysis of forces acting on the mandible during chewing
Thomková, Barbora ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with cranio-maxillo-facial biomechanics by analysing the force of the lower jaw during chewing. In the thesis, research study of literary sources dealing with the force of the lower jaw is carried out, from which the information obtained was used for subsequent analysis of the force effect on the lower jaw during chewing. The solution is made referring to computational modelling, analytical methods and also numerical by using FEM. The analytical solution was made on the assumption that the lower jaw is a rigid body and solved the magnitude of the contact forces in the bonds and the bite force that was considered at different positions using equations of equilibrium. The numerical solution was computed by using the ANSYS Workbench software. Two types of kinematic bonds (spherical and fixed support) in the condyle areas were solved and compared. The first type was identical with the analytical solution. Spherical bonds were prescribed at the place of the condyles. The second type of bonds was chosen on the basis of literature. Fixed support bonds were selected in both condyles. The results were compared for both approaches related to solution and the biting forces were compared with the experimentally determined values reported by the literature.

Hájek, Pavel ; Herout, Adam (referee) ; Juránek, Roman (advisor)
This master's thesis describes design and development of an application for estimation of vehicle speed from both recorded video file and from camera stream. It explains the procecess of a camera calibration, vehicle detection and tracking and describes the robot operating system as a target platform. The application uses library OpenCV for most of tasks, to access video application uses a FFmpeg library. Results can be printed to the terminal window, they can also be logged to a file or published in ROS. Application is written in C++ language, some parts in Python.
