The design of eye-lens simulator
Špaček, Matěj ; Rebenda, David (referee) ; Nečas, David (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is a design of an eye-lens simulator. Tribometer module in pin-on-ring configuration was designed to allow direct observation of a contact zone. The survey of existing tribometers was conducted as a part of the thesis, based on which, three concept solutions were suggested. Final solution of the module was chosen and designed based on the concepts. The apparatus enables to simulate conditions of real human eye so it could contribute to a contact lens research and eye lubrication solution development.

Design of reciprocal module fixture for wear and friction measurements in tribometer
Zeman, Petr ; Šperka, Petr (referee) ; Dočkal, Kryštof (advisor)
The thesis deals with design of a clamping fixture for fastening surface samples for the reciprocating drive of the tribometer. The fixture is designed to compensate for shape deviations of the samples by tilting in two axes in a small range. The objective has been fulfilled, the tilting mechanism is achieved by rotating the spherical surface. The fixture is sufficiently rigid. It has been achieved of better user experience and repeatability of clamping. The paper contains an overview of commercially available clamping methods, their evaluation and description of the construction of the newly designed device, which simplifies the clamping of uniquely shaped samples for the reciprocating drive of the UMT TriboLab tribometer.

Comparison of frictional properties of cosmetic massage products
Dohnal, Petr ; Čípek, Pavel (referee) ; Vrbka, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis examines tribological properties of massage products (creams and oils). Its aim is to create a comparison of the selected products. Tribometer in the pin-on-plate configuration was used for the experiment because of its ability to simulate the process of rubbing the product on the skin. Cowhide was used as a model of human skin. The attributes of products were compared based on the characteristics of the coefficient of friction during the measurements. Through the experiments a suitable parameter was found for easy comparison of the product's durability. According to the results the best oil was selected in terms of durability and lubrication. The thesis could be used as a basis for creating a standardised method for evaluation and selection of products suitable for massage purposes.

Biotribology of articular cartilage
Furmann, Denis ; Látal, Roman (referee) ; Nečas, David (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with biotribology of articular cartilage. The first part deals with the analysis of individual building components of cartilage. Another part is devoted to the definition of the tribological properties of cartilage with regard to friction, wear and lubrication. The thesis also briefly analyses selected publications dealing with articular cartilage biotribology. Two hypotheses have been formulated and verified on the basis of the processed articles. Will the friction coefficient fall at a higher load? Will the friction coefficient increase at higher speed? It has been experimentally confirmed that the friction coefficient value increases with increasing speed and decreasing load.

Design of the loading mechanism for low load
Polnický, Vojtěch ; Galas, Radovan (referee) ; Nečas, David (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor’s thesis is to provide a design and full drawing documentation of instrument for applying low loads. In case of realization, the mechanism will be implemented into a ball-on-disc laboratory tribometer, which is used in the laboratory of IMID FME BUT in Brno. The first part of the thesis deals with research study of tribometers considering the configuration of test samples and loading mechanism systems. According to information analysis, four different variants are introduced. The final design is described in detail, including the information about the advantages and disadvantages. This design is developed into technical drawings and electronic models.

Design of knee joint simulator
Polnický, Vojtěch ; Čížek, Petr (referee) ; Vrbka, Martin (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the design and realization of an experimental device. The purpose of device is the simulation of dynamic and kinematic conditions of knee replacement during the walking cycle. The simulator will be used to study the formation of the lubricating film in contact of the femoral component and the polyethylene spacer, and to the cyclic wear tests for knee replacements. First part of thesis is focused on the description of working parameters of knee replacements and analysis of knee joint simulators. The description of conceptual design and selection of the final variation follows. The final design allows simulation of dynamic and kinematic conditions of ISO 14 243-3. Creation of lubricating film is analyzed by the non-contact optical fluorescence microscopy method. The work includes complete drawing documentation, wiring diagram, verification of the functionality of the device and detailed operating instructions.
