Computational and experimental assessment of natural frequencies in a bladed disk system
Mekhalfia, Mohammed Lamine ; Procházka, Pavel ; Maturkanič, Dušan ; Voronova, Evgeniya ; Hodboď, Robert
This paper examines the modal characteristics of a bladed disk in rotating machinery systems using a combination of analytical and experimental modal analysis methods. The analysis involves measuring natural frequencies and mode shapes under different operational conditions. A comparative analysis is conducted to assess modal properties obtained from both analytical and experimental approaches, while also considering the influence of rotation speed. Additionally, Finite Element Method (FEM) outputs are used to accurately position the strain gauge. Integrating these techniques provides a comprehensive understanding of the bladed disk's behaviour under varying rotational speeds, enhancing result accuracy and facilitating thorough investigation within rotating machinery systems.

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Flow Field in Five Blade Linear Cascade in Subsonic Flow
Šnábl, Pavel ; Chindada, Sony ; Bublík, O. ; Procházka, Pavel P. ; Prasad, Chandra Shekhar
In large steam turbines, last stage blades are very long and must be designed very thin and with no shroud to minimize the centrifugal force which leads to low eigenfrequencies and low structural damping. In this case, aero-elastic damping plays important role on last stage bladed disc’s dynamics. Three major aero-elastic issues found in turbomachinery are forced response, non-synchronous vibrations, and flutter. Flutter is an unstable, self-excited vibration resulting from coupling between the structural vibrations and unsteady aerodynamic forces. It is clear that this unstable behaviour must be avoided and predictions of flutter behaviour need to be performed during design stage of the turbine.\n

Statistical Approach for BTT probes distribution
Mekhalfia, Mohammed Lamine ; Procházka, Pavel ; Šmíd, R. ; Tchawou Tchuisseu, Eder Batista
Blade tip timing (BTT) system is a non-invasive method used for measuring the blade tip timing of rotating machinery. The BTT system typically consists of sensor probes, signal conditioning system, and data acquisition unit. The sensor probes are placed in proximity to the rotating blade tips, Sensors measure the time at which each blade passes by the probe. By measuring the blade tip timing, the BTT system can detect changes in the blade tip vibration, which is an important for the health monitoring and performance optimization of rotating machinery [1]. To ensure accurate measurement of blade tip timing, the probe arrangement is crucial. The placement of the probe relative to the blade tips can affect the measurement accuracy, and thus, several arrangement algorithms have been developed to optimize the placement of the probes. Instead of considering the condition number, a statistical algorithms is followed to optimize the placement of probes for accurate measurement of blade tip timing in turbo-machinery. The statistical approach will be employed to determine the optimal locations for probes, with the aim of reducing errors in the measurement of blade tip timing. \n

Manufacturing of pin with flange
Procházka, Pavel ; Řiháček, Jan (referee) ; Podaný, Kamil (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the design of the towing hitch, which is used in the tractor. The component will be the production of a die forging technology made of low-alloy steel 13 242. The material is supplied as hot-rolled bars with a diameter of 60 mm and a length of 6 000 mm. The size of the production series has been set at 25,000 pieces per year. Due to the issue and the size of the forging, the component will be made on a power hammer. The machine Šmeral KHZ 8A, appears to be a suitable machine as the forging work was calculated at 89 kJ. The technical - economic evaluation takes into account material costs, which amount to 1,364,271 CZK. The die is made of tool steel 19 663, its purchase price is 73 000 CZK.

Preparation of contacts to one-dimensional nanostructures
Citterberg, Daniel ; Procházka, Pavel (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with methodology of contacting one-dimensional nanostructures. Theoretical part of the thesis defines the concept of one-dimensional nanostructures, then it deals with the potential of their usage, especially in field effect transistors. This part also deals with the possibility of measuring the electrical properties of one-dimensional nanostructures and the possibility of fabricating contacts with sufficiently small sizes using litographic approach. Experimental part gives a brief overview of the tasks that need to be done during the contact fabrication. Subsequently, the individual steps are described in more detail and, finally, initial results of electrical characterization are shown.

Graphene transfer methods for high quality graphene field effect transistors
Tesař, Jan ; Kormoš, Lukáš (referee) ; Procházka, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the influence of different graphene transfer methods on its quality. Graphene layers were grown by Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) method. The quality characterization of subsequently transfered graphene is based on the measurement of charge carrier mobility which has been performed on the field-effect transistors fabricated by transferring of graphene layers onto Si/SiO$_2$ surface. Chemical etching and electrolytic delamination are the transfer methods that are being compared in this thesis. Results of the measurements showed that graphene layers transferred by electrolytic delamination exhibit approximately four times higher charge carrier mobility than those transferred by the chemical etching method.

Preparation of graphene nanostructures for applications
Dubnická Midlíková, Jana ; Procházka, Pavel (referee) ; Lišková, Zuzana (advisor)
The thesis deals with preparation of graphene nanostructures and their applications in the measurement of electrical transport properties of graphene. Graphene layers are prepared by mechanical exfoliation in two ways, by using adhesive tape or elastomeric film. The contacts for measurement of graphene layers resistance are fabricated by electron beam litography on exfoliated graphene flakes. Measurements of graphene transport properties take place in two environments, in air and in vacuum. Mobility and concentration of charge carriers of prepared graphene nanostructure are determined from the measured values.

Fabrication and characterization of two-dimensional heterostructures
Majerová, Irena ; Švec, Martin (referee) ; Procházka, Pavel (advisor)
After the experimental discovery of graphene at the beginning of the 21st century, many other interesting 2D materials have been discovered. However, the electrical and optical properties of these layers are greatly influenced by the composition and quality of the surrounding materials. In order to preserve the exceptional properties of thin films, attention has gradually been drawn to heterostructures from 2D composite materials. This thesis describes the preparation and characterization of heterostructures composed of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride. In addition, a specific focus will be placed on optimizing the production process of heterostructures by the dry thin film transfer process, prepared by micromechanical exfoliation. Characterization and quality of prepared layers are controlled by Raman spectroscopy, while morphology is examined by atomic force microscope (AFM). Furthermore, the electrical properties of the graphene-hBN device are discussed and the charge carrier of the graphene field-effect transistor is measured.
