Lightweight composite materials for automotive applications
Sousedík, Jan ; Poláček, Petr (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis investigated the influence of lightening filler in the form of hollow glass microbeads on the mechanical properties of composite material. The method chosen for the preparation of composite material was pultrusion. Two types of composite material were prepared as part of the bachelor thesis, specifically epoxy-vinyl ester resin-based composites and unsaturated polyester resin-based composites. Special bulked glass fibres were used as reinforcement. The final composite material was subjected to a three-point flexural test where mechanical properties were monitored. In addition, control of the distribution and adhesion of the filler was performed by using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Analysis of mechanical properties of composite materials printed by additive 3D printing technology
Mudrák, Michal ; Joska, Zdeněk (referee) ; Sedlák, Josef (advisor)
This thesis deals with the analysis of mechanical properties of composite materials used for 3D printing by Markforged company. The theoretical part is focused on the characterization of composite materials and analysis of mechanical tests. The experimental part deals with the production of test specimens for specific mechanical tests (tensile test, Shore D hardness test and bending test). The test sapples with Onyx base material are individually reinforced with carbon and high-temperature glass fibers (HSHT). There are statistically evaluated selected parameters for individual mechanical tests (tensile strength, elongation, modulus of elasticity, Shore D hardness, bending stress and bending deformation). The thesisis completed by comparing selected parameters of composite materials with overall recommendations for users.

Krejčí, Filip
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to evaluate the bonding quality of wood-based composite materials. Chipboard panels from various manufacturers with representation in the Czech Republic will be selected. In the theoretical part will be briefly described the important parts of the production process and the factors influencing the properties of chipboard. In the practical part will be determined the methodology of the experiment and the subsequent testing to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the selected material. The bachelor's thesis will show tables and charts, which will be evaluated and commented in the end for practical use.

Vliv působení vnějšího prostředí na základní vlastnosti materiálu pro výrobu exteriérových dílců nábytku
Križanová, Adéla
The diploma thesis deals with the impact of the external environment on the basic properties of composite material Richlite and its suitability for exterior furniture manufacturing. There is a brief overview of the properties of Richlite, possible ways of utilization and production process of the material itself and individual components. The main goal of the diploma thesis is to determine the influence of temperature changes and exposure to elevated temperatures on the mechanical properties of the material. The observed properties are the modulus of elasticity and the flexural strength ascertained by loading in a three-point system. The measured results were statistically evaluated, and it was found that the temperature changes could affect the flexural strength of Richlite.

Mechanické vlastnosti vláknových uhlíkových kompozitů
Začal, Jaroslav
Carbon fibre reinforced composites (CFRP) are construction material, which is viewed as a perspective for its ratio of mechanical properties to weight. In recent years the research was focused on implementing the carbon-based composites among smart materials. Nevertheless, extent and volume of use of these composites in technical practice is still not up to the potential, which this modern material offers. One of substantial reasons is the lack of adequate instruments for continuous manufacturing quality control and for mechanical condition monitoring of ready-made construction parts. For this reason the presented dissertation thesis is focused on effectiveness enhancement of detection of deformation response in composites subjected to mechanical loading with uniaxial tension with employment of passive acoustic emission (AE) detection, optical method for detection of surface deformation fields digital image correlation (DIC) and electron microscopy scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Combination of used methods proved as a robust instrument for identification and monitoring of entire degradation process in composite material in course of mechanical loading.

Design and analysis of the road bike made from composite material
Dvořáková, Barbora ; Kubík, Petr (referee) ; Šebek, František (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on the design and analysis of road bike frame made of composite material. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, there is a research focused on the usage of composite materials in relation to making bike frames. The main emphasis is placed on fiber composites, which are most common in cycling. Manufacturing process and production technology are discussed. The aim of the second part is design and the numerical simulation of frame in relation to stand-ard, which is used for the testing of frames. Rigidity and strength are evaluated. The final frame is obtained from the initial design due to several iterations. In conclusion, results are evaluated and recommendations for future work are given.

3D print of composite materials
Kašpárková, Kristýna ; Zemčík, Oskar (referee) ; Zouhar, Jan (advisor)
The submitted thesis deals with a study of composite materials and processing them using 3D printing technology. The experimental part of this thesis is focused on the production of test samples with the use of additive technology Fused Deposition Modeling and Continuous Filament Fabrication. The composite samples made of common onyx material, individually reinforced with continuous carbon fiber filaments, kevlar, or fiberglass, were made with Marforged Mark Two 3D printer. The other samples made of PETG PM and PETG CFjet materials were made with Original Prusa i3 MK2S 3D printer. For technological evaluation, a tensile test was performed on samples, following the norm EN ISO 527-2:2012. Based on results obtained from tensile testing, the properties of materials strength and usability are verified and compared. In this work, the production process is proposed, and technical-economic evaluation is made. In conclusion, achieved results and overall benefits of this work are summarised.
