Model of the bridge for presentation of the member system
Chlup, Pavel ; Krejčí, Petr (referee) ; Appel, Martin (advisor)
In this bachelor thesis, the individual parts of the model bridge structure are explained with a brief commentary on their creation. Subsequently, the computational modelling of the problem using statics and its practical solution using strain gauges and MATLAB software is elaborated upon. The thesis is divided into a total of four chapters, where the first one is devoted to research on the application of statics and strain gauges. Subsequently, the function of each part of the fabricated model is formulated and a static model of the truss system which is equivalent to the fabricated model but is statically indeterminate without further considerations is presented. Then, the principle on which strain gauges are applied to solve the insolvability of the system is explained and as a result, the force action in the truss system as a function of the load is plotted using an application developed in MATLAB software. The result is a comparison of the measured and calculated values in the truss system.

Electronic torque wrench
Juřík, Dominik ; Kubík, Michal (referee) ; Mazůrek, Ivan (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the construction of a modification for a torque wrench for electronic recording of tightening torque and angle. In practice, the recording of the tightening process is managed using electronic torque wrenches. However, these wrenches are often very expensive, and their use for verifying the reliability of various screw joints would be highly impractical. This is due to the large differences in the required tightening torques for screws of different sizes. This problem has been addressed in this work by constructing an adapter for electronic recording of tightening. The measurement and recording of the tightening torque are enabled by using strain gauges, which are attached to an extension rod. An angular velocity sensor (an electronic gyroscope) is used to determine the tightening angle. Signals from the sensors are transmitted to an analyzer from Dewetron via a connector on this adapter. After initial calibration, this device can be connected via a square drive to any length of wrench without the need for further calibration. Based on the experiment conducted, it can be stated that this device is correctly designed. This device will be used in the Technical Diagnostics Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Brno University of Technology.

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.

The effect of the shrinkage reducing additives on rheological properties of high-strength concrete
Červenka, Jiří ; Kucharczyková, Barbara (referee) ; Daněk, Petr (advisor)
Master’s thesis examines the effect of the shrinkage reducing additives on rheological properties of high-strength concrete. The first part is focused on high-strength concrete in terms of their composition and properties. The second part contains a detailed analysis of the cementitious composites shrinkage problems. Total shrinkage is divided into individual elementary shrinkages. For each of them there is a detailed description of causes and factors that affect their sizes. The next part describes the basic additives used to reduce the shrinkage of cementitious composites. The experimental part is focused on verifying the effectiveness of the shrinkage reducing additives during preparation of high-strength concrete. Usage of shrinkage drains for relative strain measurement enables to determine the process of shrinkage immediately after placing the concrete in the form and to obtain the overall curve of the hight-strength concrete volume changes during its setting and hardening. At the end of the thesis, there are overall analysis and summary of the results of the performed experiments.

Verification of operation of piezoelectric composite strain sensor
Kubiš, Juraj ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of piezoelectric elements as sensing elements in engineering practice. The work can be divided into three main parts. The first part describes the actual use of these elements in practice, either as sensing elements or as a source for energy harvesting. This section contains the selection of components for a given experiment, the creation of a model using FEM and the measurement process of the experiment. The third part is the evaluation of the obtained results and subsequent comparison with the obtained values from strain gauges and other sensors.
