Automotive Alternator Innovation
Volek, Martin ; Hýsek, Roman (referee) ; Hájek, Vítězslav (advisor)
The work deals with the analytical electromagnetic design of automotive claw-pole alternator 14V/120A. This design is verified in program Maxwell with a RMxprt tool. The results of both calculations are compared. Designed alternator is also compared with the results measured in the laboratory on the alternators of similar type. Furthermore, there are analyzed individual power losses of machine and listed options of reducing these losses, which results in an increase in overall efficiency.

Perception of vehicle speed from the perspective of different driving experience
Budinová, Nela ; Bradáč, Albert (referee) ; Bilík, Martin (advisor)
Presented diploma thesis deals with the perception of vehicle speed from the different driving experiences point of view. The thesis is divided into two parts. First, the theoretical part is about motor vehicle construction, driving experiences, and further about the influence of gender on driving and sensory and emotional perception of humans. The second part is dedicated to practical measurement, where vehicle speeds were estimated during driving tests. During this measurement, the test circuit was passed two times in each vehicle. First run was dedicated to full concentration on a drive. In the second run, the respondents were distracted by sudoku solving. Subsequent evaluation of the obtained data is being executed from different points of view – speed category, men vs women, and roads category.

Rolling bearings for electromobility
Mbontar, Patrik ; Frýza, Josef (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to describe the problems related to the use of rolling bearings in electric vehicles. Introduction includes history, distribution, and a brief description of the bearings. In the next section, there will be a description of the use, requirements and parameters for rolling bearings of combustion engine cars. In the main part of the thesis, the parameters and requirements of bearings used in electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles will be analyzed. I will continue with familiarization with dynamic actions affecting bearings and their critical requirements. In conclusion, the two types of cars and the possible development of this type of bearings will be compared.

Steam turbine
Skoupý, Pavel ; Ing.Duda (referee) ; Fiedler, Jan (advisor)
The master´s thesis concentrates on a project of steam turbine with controlled extraction points destined for a communal waste incineration plant. First, there the history of devices using steam as a moving medium is introduced and than follows the description of computing program, where the calculation was running. The master´s thesis subject consists in the thermodynamic project of turbine vaning, in basic project of gearbox including the check calculations and in technical economic comparison of single shaft and twin shaft constructional design. The design documentation is worked up according to the calculated outcomes and contains longitudinal section of turbine and dispositional turbine and gearbox settlement.

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.

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.
