Probabilistic Approach for Assessment of Earthing System Design
Vyčítal, Václav ; Gurecký, Jiří (referee) ; Procházka, Karel (referee) ; Toman, Petr (advisor)
This dissertation thesis deals with application of probabilistic approach to assessment of earthing system safety in distribution networks, especially for cases with common earthing of high and low voltage side of distribution transformers HV/LV. In these cases, the increased potential during fault might be transferred from high voltage to low voltage network and thus the individuals from public can be exposed to increased risk. Thus, for these cases were in this thesis defined expectable touch scenarios together with the resulting risk imposed on individuals from the public. Based on the results it seems that adoption of probabilistic approach for these cases of earthing systems might be more suitable compared to the conventional deterministic worst case approach. In accordance to the aims of the thesis, a thorough analysis of currently adopted probabilistic approaches was carried out as well and it was pointed out to some new possible simplifications in the adopted probabilistic based methodologies. For example, it seems that appropriate modelling of human body resistance by the full lognormal distribution is not completely necessary and similar results can be obtained when only the resistance for 50 % of population together with c3 and c4 fibrillation curves are used. Much of the work was also devoted to the determination of possible uncertainty of calculated risk of evaluated earthing system, especially due to inappropriate modelling of earthing system. The appropriateness of different earthing system modelling methods together with other parameters on the value of calculated risk was investigated through conducting sensitivity analysis. Based on the analysis results it seems, that due to using more, or less simplified modelling method, a possible underrating in the resulting risk of about 40 % (about half an order/decade) is expectable. On the other hand, the change of parameters related directly to calculation of fibrillation probability seems to exhibit greater change in calculated risk by up to units of orders/decades.

Modelling Languages for Optimization Problems
Talpa, Jaroslav ; Roupec, Jan (referee) ; Popela, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the area of modeling and solving of optimization problems, mainly by the use of modeling languages. For the solving of two selected types of complex optimization problems, sensitivity analysis and multistage optimization, two original software solutions in Java using the GAMS modeling language, are described in the paper, which are further tested and applied to real problems. The thesis also describes the issue of parallelism which is implemented by the proposed programs.

ANALYSIS OF IMPACT OF EXPERIMENT REALISATION ON MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BIOMATERIALS
Slažanský, Martin ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Horný,, Lukáš (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
Dizertační práce se zabývá věrohodností mechanického testování měkkých biologických tkání a predikčními schopnostmi různých modelů materiálů. Obě oblasti byly zkoumány užitím metody konečných prvků. První část práce je věnována úvodu do problému a popisu měkkých biologických tkání, které s problémem souvisí, a rešerši nynějšího způsobu jejich mechanického testování. Druhá část práce se zabývá hledáním optimálního nastavení experimentálního zařízení za použití počítačového modelování pomocí virtuální simulace mechanických testů. Výsledky analýzy potvrdily, že dvě úzké svorky po délce hrany, stejně jako běžně používané háčky, jsou použitelné pro dvouosé tahové zkoušky různých měkkých tkání za použití čtvercového vzorku. Použití svorek je proto časově úsporná, jednoduchá a spolehlivá alternativa, která není podřadná použití háčků. V práci byla rovněž provedena analýza, jejímž výsledkem jsou doporučení ohledně typu, počtu a velikosti uchycení pro různě velké vzorky. Třetí část práce zkoumá predikční schopnosti modelů materiálů měkkých tkání a závislosti těchto schopností. Lze shrnout, že výsledné mechanické chování proloženého modelu materiálu závisí na počátečních parametrech a že neexistují „ideální“ počáteční parametry při prokládání experimentálních dat. Navzdory absenci „ideálních“ počátečních parametrů je navržen v rámci možností nejefektivnější způsob aproximace experimentálních dat z mnoha jejich souborů. Dále je možné shrnout, že omezení hodnot parametrů modelu při prokládání experimentálních dat ústí v nepředvídatelný vliv na kvalitu aproximace. V závěrečné části práce byl analyzován předpoklad afinní a neafinní deformace modelů materiálů za účelem vysvětlení velkých rozporů mezi výsledky strukturně založených modelů a výsledky dvouosých testů při různých testovacích protokolech. Ačkoli byly zjištěny určité rozdíly mezi výsledky analyzovaných modelů, přece nebyly dostatečně významné, aby vysvětlily výše uvedené velké rozpory. V poslední části práce jsou zmíněny další možné oblasti výzkumu.

Virtual model of resonance adhesion test (EUSAMA)
Hortová, Petra ; Dočkal, Aleš (referee) ; Mazůrek, Ivan (advisor)
Thesis deals with problems about areas of a non-assembling diagnostics namely resonant adhesive tester according to an EUSAMA methodology. Result of the methodology is a technical condition examination of dampers. However with regard to testing of whole suspension and damping vehicle system are results distorted by influence of testing conditons and another vehical components. Goal of thesis is analysis limits of practical use resonant adhesive tester for a quality checking of mount wheels damping. Problems are solved by a virtual simulation in a program Adams/View where is created a real model of vehical axle of Skoda Roomster TDI 1.4. In the model is consequently simulated possible functional characteristics and abrasions of single components which influence the methodology. Virtual model will be using for research activity of Institute of machine and industrial design Faculty of mechanical ingeneering Brno University of technology.

Crosswind Sensitivity of Road Vehicles
Vančura, Jan ; Dundálek, Radim (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (referee) ; Píštěk, Václav (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to devise a methodology which is capable of reliable evaluation of road vehicle’s crosswind sensitivity. The work consists of writing the mathematical model of a vehicle which includes aerodynamic loads and conducting a validation by means of technical experiment as defined by ISO 12021. A sensitivity analysis describing the influence of individual inputs on evaluation criteria of vehicle’s crosswind sensitivity is performed using the model, thereby establishing the overall model error caused by possible inaccuracies of input parameters. At the end, the relationship between discrete pressures on the surface of the vehicle in several aerodynamic configurations and the properties representing the vehicle’s motion is presented.

The Investment Evaluation of the Machinery Company
Nagy, Martin ; Zinecker, Marek (referee) ; Luňáček, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the investment evaluation of a machinery company. The theoretical part describes the technology of drilling, investment project, investment decision making, financing of the investment, its efficiency evaluation by dynamic methods. The practical part introduces the investment project and summarizes theoretical solutions. Moreover, the author carried out the company’s balance sheet and the prognosis of its sales by performing multiple factors linear regression analysis using software Gretl, determined the type of the investment financing and selected the investment project based on the point criteria and the theoretical solutions. Furthermore, the efficiency of the chosen project was evaluated by the dynamic methods described in the theoretical part. Finally, the author created a Net Present Value sensitivity analysis and compared results of the static and dynamic methods. These results become fundamentals for recommendation of the investment project realization.
