Mechanical and microstructural characteristics of materials produced by SLM method
Hradil, David ; Jan, Vít (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
The master's diploma thesis deals with the mechanical and structural characteristics of aluminium-base alloy 2000 series, produced by selective laser melting (SLM). The experimental part of the thesis deal with selection of SLM processing parameters, influence of scanning strategy and evaluation of mechanical and structural characteristics of fabricated materials. Mechanical characteristics were evaluated based on results of tensile tests and microhardness measurement. Structural characteristics of materials produced by SLM were evaluated using metallographic analysis.

Hardware Accelerating of Encryption Algorithm
Hradil, David ; Martínek, Tomáš (referee) ; Kořenek, Jan (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to design a hardware realization of circuit which will implement the AES algorithm. A motivation was to make an acceleration against the classic software encryption. The acceleration is achieved by special designed parts of the circuit, which correspond to particular operations of the AES algorithm. First, there was necessary to design the circuit. In the next step there was a need to describe the designed circuit by the VHDL language. Then the circuit was simulated and synthesized. Due to comparing the circuit with software processing a software implementation was created. Both implementations were created for the FITKit platform. The hardware implementation is made by the FPGA technology and the software implementation is realized in a microcontroller. The result of the thesis is almost one thousandfold acceleration against the classic software encryption.

Stainless steel for steam sterilizer components
Hradil, David ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Pacal, Bohumil (advisor)
The thesis titled "Stainless steel for steam sterilizer components" is focused on the selection of the optimum stainless steel for the device, in our case, pure steam generator. In this thesis are introduced the main mechanisms and types of corrosion. There are divided and characterized by various types of stainless steels. The choice of material is carried out with regard to the working environment and the technological possibilities of the individual types of stainless steels.

The methodology for visualization of the internal structure of the painting using novel x-ray based methods
Hradilová, Janka ; Hradil, David ; Trmalová, Olga ; Žemlička, Jan
Aim of the methodology is to involve the newly tested a newly developed methods, which allow displaying an internal structure of a painting, into the routine conservation/restoration research. The methodology is yet specifically focused only on methods using X-rays, i.e. X-ray radiography (XRR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) (including macroscopic XRF scanning). The methodology includes testing the radiographic equipment with pixel detectors, which has been newly developed within the project, and assesses its contribution to the practical survey of painting techniques reflecting its exceptional spatial resolution, materials sensitivity and mobility.

Portable X-ray fluorescence analyzers: methodology of their use within non-invasive survey of paintings in situ
Hradil, David ; Hradilová, Janka
Aim of the methodology is to determine the general limits for application of portable XRF analyzers (currently available and newly developed) to the practical materials research of the fine art and reduce the risk of erroneous interpretations in a given context. The target group are professionals and learned laymen (regardless of their initial education) who want use the method in the conservation practice or within the interdisciplinary research of fine arts, as a part of the non-invasive stage of such research, which does not require any intervention into the artwork and any transport of the painting to a specialized workplace.

Investigation of Madonna in the travel altar of Robert of Anjou from the collection of moravian gallery in Brno
Fogaš, I. ; Wörgötter, Z. ; Hradilová, J. ; Hradil, David ; Zikmund, T. ; Kaiser, J.
An exceptional Gothic work of art, a travel altar of Robert of Anjou, is one of those donated by John II of Liechtenstein to the Franz Museum in Brno in 1896. Light has been newly shed on the circumstances of Prince's acquisition of the altar; it refuted the thoughts about the altar's Central European provenance, because as it is being documented, the purchase took place directly in Florence in 1890. It has been recorded already back then that the Tabernacle is complemented by a (damaged) statuette of Black Madonna made of Carrara marble. The description of its damage, secondary additions and polychromy construction was the main aim of the artwork's survey by non-invasive methods (mobile XRF, computed tomography); on the basis of their results, a careful micro-sampling has been performed followed by material analysis. Most importantly, it was found out that the material of the statue is not Carrara marble, but an alabaster, which is not in disagreement with the assumed provenance (northern Italy), but due to its weight and fragility, the statuette could only hardly be an original part of the altar. Concurrently, the analysis of the oldest layers of polychromy proved that the Madonna has not been originally black and that this adjustment has been executed secondarily and intentionally.

Limitations of spectroscopic methods in the study of earthy pigments
Košařová, V. ; Hradil, David ; Kanický, V.
Nowadays, the spectroscopic methods, above all Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), are the most frequently used analytical methods in the research of cultural heritage, which is mainly caused by easy use and non-invasiveness of these methods and a broad range of their application, which comprises both organic and inorganic substances. Nevertheless, each analytical technique has its detection limits, and the fact that a particular method is suitable for one type of a sample does not automatically mean that it will be appropriate for the identification of another sample. Therefore, the aim of the study is to demonstrate the limitations of both Raman Spectroscopy (RS) and infrared spectroscopy in the study of earthy materials.

Newly Found romanesque madonna of Sedes sapientiae type coming from a czech private collection with elements of west european fine arts tradition
Hradilová, J. ; Hradil, David ; Fogaš, I. ; Zmydlená, M.
On the basis of material research, the oldest preserved polychrome carving of Madonna of Sedes sapientiae type was dated using radiocarbon method 14C to the interval of 990 – 1180. During the non-destructive research, we could observe its inner structure on the CT scans and a careful sampling enabled us to determine the technological features typical for this outstanding polychromy. These features comprise, above all, the oldest siliceous ground of specific composition, which had a practical relevance. The coloured, or only coarse-grained lower ground layer, served as a check for the depth of polish of the upper white ground – the treatment, which should result in the same thickness of the ground on all places of the uneven surface. The origin of Madonna of Sedes sapientiae type can be assigned to workshops drawing on Western-European traditions.
