Deep learning methods for the acoustic emission methods to evaluate an onset of plastic straining
Parma, Slavomír ; Kovanda, Martin ; Chlada, Milan ; Štefan, Jan ; Kober, Jan ; Feigenbaum, H. P. ; Plešek, Jiří
Development of phenomenological plasticity models, hardening rules, and plasticity theories relies on experimental data of plastic straining. The experimental data are usually measured as the stress–strain response of the material being loaded and do not provide any clues or information about the local response of\nmaterial. In this paper, we analyze the plastic deformation of the material using the acoustic emission method and current state-of-the-art neural network models such as the InceptionTime architecture.

Determination of stress wave pulse attenuation in chocolate with different sample thickness
Buchar, Jaroslav ; Trnka, Jan ; Kober, Jan
The report presents the results of an analysis of the attenuation of a mechanical pulse in samples of five types of chocolate, where each type had five different thicknesses. These are data established on the basis of an economic contract between the Institute of Thermomechanics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Mendel University in Brno. The chocolate samples were loaded using both the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and the Hopkinson measuring split bar direct loading method. The measurement results are processed in the time and frequency domains.

Determination of mechanical properties of chocolate under impact loading
Buchar, Jaroslav ; Trnka, Jan ; Kober, Jan
The report based on the Economic Contract No. 5/2021 with the MU in Brno and contains the results of research of the deformation behavior of five types of chocolate when loaded with high strain rates of the order 103 s-1. Two methods were used in the research, the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar method (SHPB) and the modified Hopkinson bar method, where higher deformation rates can be achieved. Attention is also focused to the fracture behavior of chocolate under dynamic tensile loading. This method of loading is based on the SHPB method using the arrangement of the so-called Brazilian test. In this research, high-speed cinematography was also used to study the formation and development of the fracture of the chocolate sample. The measurement results are processed in the time and frequency domains.

Modelling approaches to the stress wave propagation in a cracked specimen
Kruisová, Alena ; Kopačka, Ján ; Kober, Jan
One of the essential tasks of non-destructive testing is to detect a crack in a specimen. It is well known that a component with a crack exposed to a harmonic excitation of a given frequency\nhas a nonlinear response as a function of the excitation amplitude. The focus of this paper is the numerical modelling of this phenomenon using the finite element method with the consideration\nof the contact constraint at the crack interface. In addition to the nonlinear transient dynamic problem solved by explicit time integration, a more efficient procedure based on the harmonic\nbalance method is developed. The results of numerical simulations are also compared with experimentally obtained data.

Research Report: Representative SHM Model
Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Joch, Jaroslav ; Kober, Jan ; Krofta, Josef ; Chlada, Milan ; Štefan, Jan ; Kunz, J. ; Ashhab, B.
The Research Report is output of the project NEMENUS dealing with methodology development of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for nuclear power plant components. SHM incorporates advanced methods for evaluation of structural operating safety. It consists in continuous monitoring of critical structure parts by advanced Nondestructive Testing (NDT) methods enabling assessment of their residual lifetime. The literature search part of this report comprises different aspects of the main problems including history of SHM systems applications at civil and mechanical structures, and also the newest SHM trends in nuclear and non-nuclear industry. The material damage mechanisms in nuclear power plant environment are also discussed in the report. At the report end there is indicated practical realization of the project results and SHM verification on a model structure.

Never Build Heart of the State. Efforts to Build a New Parliament Building and Government District in Interwar Prague and Their Failure
Kober, Jan
The paper gives a short overview of the efforts to build the new building of the Parliament in Czechoslovakia between 1919 and 1928. In 1919, the Parliament moved to larger building of the Rudolfinum, the most important Prague concert and art exhibition hall. On the other hand, the pre-war endeavours to build a monumental university quarter at Letná plain were revised into the monumental parliament and government district after 1919. The paper follows two architectural competitions on Letná Plain (1920, 1928) as well as (selected) controversies between various actors (Parliament, State Regulatory Commission, Governmental offices, ambitious architects and professional organisations).
