Proposal of topology of piezoceramic composite sensor
Dostal, Vojtěch ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Majer, Zdeněk (advisor)
This master thesis deals with design and numerical modelling of piezoceramic sensor, which is placed on a rail, in order to generate electrical energy, which can be used for wireless monitoring of railway traffic and to monitor the condition of the railway. The thesis is divided into three parts. Theoretically background of piezoelectric energy harvesting is described in first part, where some previous application of piezoelectric generator in railway area are shown. In the second part, parametric analysis of numerical model is performed, which directly leads to finding best location on a rail, where piezoelectric generator should be placed. For this analysis the homogenized model of MFC sensor was used. Results of the numerical model were then compared with the results of the conducted experiment. The third part presented own design of piezoceramic sensor, which is placed onto most suitable location on a rail. Results from numerical analysis shown eligibility of using piezoceramic sensor to monitor the railway traffic.

Analytical model of composite cantilever with SMART layer
Dostal, Vojtěch ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Majer, Zdeněk (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with analytical modelling of composite cantilever with smart layer. The structure is based on the real piezoelectric generator, which is a solid cantilever beam with a layer of piezoelectric material attached to its bottom and top. The first part of this bachelor's thesis summarizes the knowledge of the energy harvesting, the process under which harvesting of electric energy from the piezoelectric generator belongs. Some piezoelectric materials are mentioned and described afterwards. At first, analytical modelling is implemented on the homogeneous cantilever beam. Then, the relations for required characteristics are derived for laminate structure, which is structurally similar to the piezoelectric generator. One chosen parameter will be changeable. Due to the ties of relations, the required characteristics will change as well, which are for the piezoelectric generator strain and deflection.

Characterization and preparation of PVDF nanofiber matrices for wearable electronics
Zajacová, Lucia ; Papež, Nikola (referee) ; Macků, Robert (advisor)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the process of production PVDF nanofiber matrices uising electrospinning and subsequent electrical characterization of the produced material. At the beginning, it introduces nanotechnologies and their undeniable importance in medical applications. It focuses on the influence of process parameters, production enviroment and the very properties of the spinning solution itself, leading to final character of the spun fiber. Various morphological differences obtained by individual process settings then continue to influence their piezoelectric properties, which are the subject of the reaserch in the experimental part of this thesis. The obtained results are applied to devices uising the piezoelectric effect with the potential for application in the biotechnological fields.

Piezoelectricity in technical practice
Škarabelová, Lenka ; Frk, Martin (referee) ; Kazelle, Jiří (advisor)
Bachelor's thesis is dedicated to the study of the principle and possibilities of use of the piezoelectric effect. Since the use of piezoelectric effect in electrical engineering is very extensive, the main focus is placed on the ability to exploit this effect in the field of ultrasonic and piezoelectric resonators. Next aim of this work is practically and theoretically to get acquainted with the measurement of small changes in weight, using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), also with an ultrasonic equipment from company Olympus and ultrasonic defectoscopy for detection of possible imperfections in the material and their evaluation.

Flexible generators of electrical energy
Tesařová, Tereza ; Holcman, Vladimír (referee) ; Tofel, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on actual research part of energy harvesting technologies – flexible electrical generators, which mean the special generating of electricity using specific flexible materials. The net charge result is affected by the incidental mechanism to transform certain energy form into electrical power and is influenced of material range, which determines what will be harnessed as a source of energy. The energy harvesting is aiming at producing alternative and efficient ways instead of harmful and strained manufacture processing.
