Computational modelling of function of the human vocal tract
Ryšavý, Antonín ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
In the first part of this bachelor's thesis is a brief summary of the biomechanics of the creation of the human voice and an overview of the published computational models of the vocal tract and the area around the head. The second part deals with the computational models of the human vocal tract set to the pronouncing the Czech vowels /a:/ and /i:/ with using the method of transfer matrices and the finite element method. By these methods is perform modal and harmonic analysis. Are investigated the natural frequencies and own vibration shapes of both vowels and course of sound pressure in a specific areas of the vocal tract. The method of transfer matrices is highly depend on the geometry of the tract, particularly on the density of the reference sections and its results in this thesis do not completely agree with the results in the literature. Finite element method is more accurate and its results agree well with results reported in the literature, but the opposite of the transfer matrices method is significantly time consuming. Method of the transfer matrices is more suitable for a large number of calculations or tuning certain parameters. Models created in this bachelor's thesis can serve for the analyse of pathology of voice production, eventually for prediction of surgical procedures in the area of the vocal tract.

Using of Transfer Matrix Method for Modal Characteristics of Vocal Tract
Meisner, Patrik ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Hájek, Petr (advisor)
The first part of the bachelor thesis describes anatomy of the vocal tract, voice creation and its modification. Some pathologies are listed at the end of the first part. The contents of second part are previously published computational models of the vocal tract followed by the method of transfer matrices for the Czech vowel [u:]. Modal analysis is performed by the transfer matrix method. The output are first three natural frequencies. Obtained frequencies are compared to values in the literature and to values calculated by the finite element method.

Analysis of transfer matrix method using for calculation of electrical machines rotor with influence of magnetic pull
Tobiáš, Jan ; Majer, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (advisor)
This master thesis is dealing with modeling of the rotor system based on the numerical transfer matrix calculations. This method is suitable for fast analysis of beam bodies to observe the resulting deflection and critical speed in regard to the initial circumstances. The bearing stiffness is a significant input factor that affects the outcomes of the analysis, especially the critical speed the rotor system. First of all,the available approaches to analyze the bended beam bodies are discussed focused on explanation of the transfer matrix algorithm. After that, the approach to estimate the bearing stiffness based on the Hertz contact theory is presented. Further, a brief explanation is given about the heat arising in the rotor bearings. The following chapters are focused on description of the software solver for rotor system analysis based on the transfer matrix method, considering the bearing stiffness estimation based on Hertz contact theory, with possible calculations of the induced bearing heat losses. In the end, the practical use of the developed software is presented with the analysis of the obtained results of the rotor deflection, critical speed, and bearing power loss. There is also discussed a comparison of the different bearing stiffness estimation with the impact to the computation outcomes, especially on the rotor critical speed, followed by comparison conclusion implementation into rotor system analysis.

Rotating stall in a centrifugal compressor.
Guzej, Michal ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
This thesis deals with a procedure for determining the complete processing of aerodynamic flow instabilities (rotating stall and surge) in a centrifugal compressor. At small flows the performance of a compressor system is limited by the surge line, which is caused by flow instabilities. Numerical solution is obtained using the method of transfer matrix. This system is simulated through several models with local resistances that represent the dissipation of pressure energy. Pulses are excitated in these models by the pressure jump placed before the centrifugal compressor. From the frequency-amplitude characteristics for the selected range of frequencies and flow the impedance characteristic of the compressor system is determined. We are looking for problematic frequencies in this characteristic that cause flow instabilities in the compressor system.

Calculation of the dynamic behavior of the rotor using the method of transfer matrices
Kratochvíl, Filip ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Lošák, Petr (advisor)
The master‘s thesis deals with the modelling of a rotor using the transfer matrix method and the displacement method. Specifically, it addresses the response to static loading, the first natural bending oscillation shape and the response to imbalance. The focus of the review is on the transfer matrix method and its practical applications in various parts of dynamics. The method of rotor modelling and the various elements used for this purpose are also described. The first practical part focuses on the static response of the rotor to self-weight and external loads. This is solved based on the transfer matrix method. The next part deals with finding the rotor's natural speed based on the transfer matrix method and the displacement method. For this purpose, two different approaches have been used depending on the method. For the transfer matrix method, the interval halving approach was chosen and for the displacement method, the eigenvalue problem was solved. The last practical part is the solution of the response to imbalance. This was done based on the displacement method. At the end of the thesis, a control example is performed where the derived solution is compared with the solution using the finite element method.
