THE UNCERTAINTIES DEFORMATION AND STRESS USING THE STRAIN GAUGES
Dokoupil, Pavel ; Vlk, Miloš (referee) ; Koška, Petr (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the determination of uncertainty of strain measurement and the stress using resistance strain gages. You can find two methods to define the uncertainty in the thesis, GUF and MMC, and both are applied for measurements carried out with resistance strain gages. Definition of the measurement uncertainty was set for the strain measured by uniaxial and biaxial strain gages. The uncertainty of the stress was defined for linear strain gages, T Rosettes and Rosettes. There were universal mathematic-technical models defined to measure strain and stress, these models can be used either for standard and special measurements i.e. high-temperature, or for measurements in radiation field. Each part of the strain uncertainty and stress is analyzed from the point of view of a size of uncertainty and a form of probability of the function that strain and stress can adopt. The maximum focus was dedicated to the mistakes influencing measured strain like strain gage properties, installation and operating influences, external influences, time effects and the influence of the measured object. There are two mistakes influencing the stress described and analyzed in the thesis, the mistake of the Young’s modulus of elasticity and the mistake of the Poisson’s ratio. The thesis is conceived as a complex of information related to the measurement uncertainties using the resistance strain gages and methods of defining the measurement uncertainty in a way that the experimenter can apply the gained info and methods in the required measurements. The final chapters give representative examples to define measurement uncertainties for uniaxial and biaxial stress applying GUF and MMC method. The thesis also includes the experiment that compares measured values of strain, stress and measurement uncertainties, using several different types of strain gages at different temperatures, with theoretical calculation of strain and with stress. The experiment was carried out using the displacement sensor that works on an elementary principle of bending load.

Dynamical characteristics of the commonly used pressure transducers
Slavíček, Ondřej ; Čepa, Zdeněk (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
This thesis deals with the dynamic properties of electric pressure transducers. These are properties that are reflected in the measurement of rapid, time-dependent processes. They could be described in two ways. Either by using amplitude and phase frequency response characteristics, or just one particular value. Natural frequency, cutoff frequency or time constant. These parameters indicate the extreme values for the use of measuring devices in the measurement of time-dependent processes. In this work will be described procedures for determining these parameters.

Hydraulic properties of siphon and direct flow swirl turbine
Hudec, Martin ; Šulc, Jan (referee) ; Veselý, Jindřich (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
Non-stationary processes are associated with the operation of water machines. They are important for their reliable and safe operation. Prediction and modeling of such states using a 1D mathematical model verified on a model in the laboratory is an advantage. The work is focused on the description of a pair of transient states that are related to siphon turbines and their operation. Determination of critical flow values for inducing a suction effect and, conversely, calculation of the minimum size of the flow coefficient for safe stopping. The experiments were performed on a laboratory model and compared with operational data from a small hydroelectric power plant Želina.

The pump station design for hydro-mixture transport
Béreš, Matej ; Štigler, Jaroslav (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
This master’s thesis is concerned about the flow of hydro-mixture in pipelines. In the first part, I am reviewing the characteristics of disperse systems, pumps and pipelines used in hydro-mixture transportation. Slurry pumps and polyethylene HDPE pipelines receive an extra attention. In the second part, I am working with data obtained from the co-operation with the PROGROUPE Sediment Removal company. These data were measured during revitalization of the water dam Gabčíkovo. In the next step, I use the data to suggest the required characteristic for the slurry pump for pump station in project of revitalizing Borovoe lake, situated in Kazakhstan.

Damping of pressure pulsations and noise reduction in pipeline systems
Čepl, Ondřej ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with pressure pulsations in pipeline system with dynamic muffler. There is presented original geometry of side-branch resonator. Pressure pulsations are solved by a created mathematical model, numerical simulations and verified by an experimental approach. The influence of dynamic and bulk viscosity is involved in derived governing equations. A system of nonlinear equations is solved by genetic algorithm and frequency dependent relationship of bulk viscosity of air is determined afterwards. The correct function of used pressure sensors is tested. The processing of experimental data is performed by the fast Fourier transform with coherent sampling. Finally, a comparison of analytical, numerical and experimental approaches is introduced for different geometric variants of presented muffler.

Pressure pulsation propagation in elastic hoses
Čapoš, Eduard ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
This thesis deals with propagation of pressure and flow pulsations, which are strongly affected by the tube flexibility. There are two mathematic models introduced, which are derived from basic physical relations. First model assumes velocity only in the axis direction. Second one assumes also non-zero radial velocity. Kelvin-Voigt model for viscoelasticity was used. Furthermore, experimental measurement was designed and evaluated. Measured data was used to calculate material properties. In addition, dynamic transfer was determined.
