Using finite element method for modelling of movement and stress of vocal folds during setting to phonation position
Šíbl, Michal ; Šidlof,, Petr (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
This Master´s thesis deals with use of finite element method for modeling motion and stress of vocal folds during setting to phonation position. The thesis contains a description of the relevant anatomical structures and of the closely related formation of the human voice. A list of some previously published models of the function of human vocal folds follows. A part of my work was to create a model of geometry of the larynx using CATIA V5 and PTC Creo 2.0 on the basis of data acquired by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). After that the model was converted into the calculation system Ansys Workbench 15.0 and, for solving contact problems, into Ansys Classic 15.0. To solve given problems, these programs use the finite element method (FEM). Solution was carried out for six different variants simulating individual motions of cartilages, corresponding to the activation of individual muscles. For each variant, the movements and stresses in the soft tissue of the vocal folds were evaluated. For variants with activation of IA, TA and LCA muscle it was also evaluated the contact pressure between the vocal folds. Finally, the thesis mentions the preparation of the model for the activation of the vocal folds movement by the muscles of the larynx.

Influence of Glottal Shape of Human Vocal Fold on its Modal Characteristics
Zelinka, Martin ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Hájek, Petr (advisor)
The main goal of the bachelor thesis is to create a parametric model with a variable angle of the human vocal fold and to determine the first two frequencies of vocal fold oscillations for all angles from -40 ° to + 40 °. The result is supported by a review of the anatomy of the human vocal system, the creation and modification of the voice, and current models of the human vocal fold. The model used for this work is created in the 3D CAD Inventor model software. Modal analysis is solved in the computer program ANSYS Workbench, solved using finite element methods.

Creating a computational model of the human vocal tract
Freiwald, Michal ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
The research part of this bachelor’s thesis consists of a brief introduction to the human respiratory system and its subsidiary vocal subsystem along with a summary of basic phonation theories, voice disorders and published computational models of the human vocal tract. The experimental part engages in the making of the computational model itself, set to pronunciation of the vowel /a:/ in a woman vocal tract, on which, using finite element method, some of the basic acoustic analyses are performed, such as modal analysis or harmonic analysis. Calculated formants correspond with the values published in literature. Several different methods were analyzed while computing harmonic response. The most complex and the most time-consuming method, using infinite elements, also proved to be the most precise one. Thesis gives a decent comparison of the precision and complexity between the used methods.

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.

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 noise inside cabin of aircraft VUT 100 Cobra
Prnka, Jiří ; Houfek, Lubomír (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the computational simulation of low-frequency noise inside the cabin of small commercial airplane VUT 100 Cobra. For this low-frequncy range deterministic methods: Final Element Method (FEM) and Boundary Element Method (BEM) are used for simulation of the dynamic behaviour of the object. FEM has been used to compute eigenmodes and eigenfrequences of the structure of the aeroplane cabin and of the acoustic space inside cabin. Then response to harmonic excitation of engine represented by unit forces in place of contact has been computed. Obtained velocities on the surface of the cabin are then used as the basis for the noise calculation inside the cabin using BEM. After that effect of some construction modifications on sound level inside cabin are evaluated by computational modelling.

Stress-strain analysis of anastomosis between artery and artificial vascular graft
Hrubanová, Anna ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with anatomy and pathology of arteries and possibilities of their replacement with vascular grafts. The first part of the thesis describes structure and mechanical properties of arterial wall. Furthemore, the biological and mechanical properties of vascular grafts and their influence of healing process are described. The second part of this thesis starts with non-linear calculation of deformation of arterial wall using generalized Hooke’s law. The analytical calculation of connection of artery and vascular graft using cylindrical momentum shell theory was made at the end of this thesis. Description of limitations of this method is also included.

Computational modelling of self-excited oscillation during metal cutting
Malý, Pavel ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
Diplomová práce se zabývá analýzou produktivity a efektivity řezného procesu frézování. Pro zjištění kritické hloubky třísky byla analyzována reálná frézka. Model frézky byl vytvořen v programu Autodesk Inventor. Analýza řezného procesu probíhala v programu Ansys Workbench. Výsledky byly použity pro sestavení stabilitních diagramů. Po vyhodnocení výsledků byly navrženy dva přístupy pro zefektivnění procesu frézování. Vliv těchto změn na produktivitu řezného procesu byl ověřen porovnáním výsledků s předchozí analýzou.
