Experimental study of artificial articular cartilage friction
Kulíšek, Vlastimil ; Ranuša, Matúš (referee) ; Rebenda, David (advisor)
Many conventional materials are used to replace damaged articular cartilage, which are beginning to be replaced by innovative biomimetic materials that mimic cartilage properties. One of these materials are poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels crosslinked by freeze-thawing and cast-drying method. These hydrogels possess similar mechanical as articular cartilage. In order to clarify the effect of kinematic conditions on the friction of hydrogels, three levels of sliding speed and load and a uniform lubricant – PBS were chosen. The coefficient of friction of the FT hydrogel decreased with increasing load. The dependence of the sliding speed did not show a uniform trend and corresponded to the adsorption-repellent model for PVA gels. The coefficient of friction of the CD hydrogel increased with increasing sliding speed according to the repulsion-adsorption model for PVA gels. The increase in load at low sliding speeds of CD hydrogel caused a slight decrease in the coefficient of friction. At the highest speed, there was an optimal load at which a low coefficient of friction was achieved. The CD hydrogel showed a lower coefficient of friction than cartilage. The FT hydrogel achieved a lower coefficient of friction than cartilage only at 5 N and 10 mm s- 1. This work contributes to the understanding of the tribological properties of PVA hydrogels.

Telemetric system for RC airplane with navigation
Orolin, Jakub ; Šteffan, Pavel (referee) ; Háze, Jiří (advisor)
This project is focused on design telemetric system for radio controlled aircraft. The output of the system represents relevant flight data such as velocity, altitude, direction of flight, rotation or geographical position on the map. Furthermore, the system could check all internal board status parameters. All these parameters are displayed in real time at the receiving station, which includes voice navigation for landing. Another part of the receiving station is flight recorder or a database used for registration of particular information and post - flight analysis.

Analysis of the acoustic signal to detect the speed of vehicles
Koníčková, Tereza ; Beneš, Petr (referee) ; Klusáček, Stanislav (advisor)
The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to create software for sound signal analysis of a passing car with the aim to determine the driving speed. This work describes single methods of a car velocity measurement and it is submitting a new method of velocity measurement with using the Doppler principle at sound signal analysis. My work proved, that it is possible to use this method to determine the speed of vehicles.

Modification of Speech Rate
Kovářík, Aleš ; Schwarz, Petr (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
This diploma thesis discusses modification of a speech rate. The PSOLA (Pitch Synchronous OverLap Add) method was used for the rate modification. This algorithm works in time domain. Another method -- phase vocoder, which works in frequency domain is also presented in an overview. This thesis extends the PSOLA method with a phoneme recognition, which allows for better understandability of the speech output by considering characteristics of the phonemes beeing pronounced. To examine this proposed method, an application connecting PSOLA and a phoneme recognizer was developed.

Perception of vehicle speed by pedestrian
Rak, Martin ; Semela, Marek (referee) ; Bilík, Martin (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the issue of the perception of speed of a vehicle from pedestrian’s point of view. The theoretical part consists of a research into sense perception of humans and construction of motor vehicles. The practical part designs and describes the experiment which was performed in order to provide data used for analyzing different factors and their effect on the accuracy of vehicle speed estimations.

Effect of Active Vehicle Safety in the Prevention of Road Accidents
Franc, Šimon ; Frič, Jindřich (referee) ; Panáček, Vladimír (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on effects of active vehicle safety on the prevention of traffic accidents. In the introductory section, the term of active safety is defined and divided into four categories. In next four chapters, the particular elements of active safety are described in more detail and some selected elements are described in depth. Chapter seven includes a questionnaire; it enquires opinions of people about some of the elements of active safety. Practical road tests were conducted as part of this work. Theirs description and evaluation are in the last chapters.

Vibrodiagnostics of electrical machines
Boháček, Daniel ; Vítek, Ondřej (referee) ; Janda, Marcel (advisor)
This thesis deals with methods of vibration analysis in electric rotating machines. From the beginning, it is necessary to explain the basic concepts and introduce the issue of vibration. Next time, the work is focused on sources of vibration in electrical machines. Defects on electric rotating machines causing vibrations are described. Sensing is performed using sensors of deflection, speed and acceleration. The measured signal needs to be adjusted and filters, approximations and sampling will cover this in the next chapter. The main objective is the methods of analysis, which include the best known in the field of frequency analysis (FFT) and the envelope method in the time domain. This includes other methods such as Kurtosis factor, Crest factor, etc. There is also a basic block diagram for measuring vibrations. This block diagram is programmed and has a graphical user interface. The last part is an evaluation of the measured data of the engines.

Measuring the Manoeuvres of Public Transport Vehicles to Determine a Comfortable and Safe Ride
Hlavová, Vendula ; Petrás, Jan (referee) ; Tokař, Stanislav (advisor)
The comfort perceived by passengers during transport in public transport plays a vital role, and its improvement can lead to attracting more customers. For this reason, there is a constant effort to improve the comfort of the passenger. This thesis deals with the objective measurement of the maneuvers of MHD in Brno (tram, trolleybus, bus) with the XL Meter and together with the subjective evaluation of the standing and sitting figurant, determines the limit values of longitudinal and transverse acceleration for comfortable ride and dangerous ride, which can lead to accidents to passengers.

The Gallery of Brno Grand Prix
Sikora, Zbigniew ; Boleslavská, Yvona (referee) ; Žalmanová, Petra (advisor)
The main task of this thesis was to create an architectural study of The Gallery of Brno Grand Prix based on previous urban study from previous semester works. The proposal is focused on the iconic circuit’s former glory restoration, on providing new content for raceway complex and creating decent and presentable place for the presentation of the rich history of Czech and Czechoslovak motorsport. The result is a study of an object that meets these needs while respecting the historical and morphological values of the place. The building creates new themed attraction and creates the potential for further development of near circuit.
