Effect of synovial fluid composition and surface topography modification on lubrication of joint replacements
Hekrle, Pavel ; Vampola, Tomáš (referee) ; Vrbka, Martin (advisor)
The main objective of this diploma thesis is to determine the influence of synovial fluid compodition and the influence of surface microtextures on lubrication of hip join replacements. For all experiments, hip joint simulator based on the pendulum principle was utilized. Metal heads (CoCrMo) manufactured by B Braun company and and tailor made acetabular cups from optical glass were used as contact couples. Acetabulum dimensions were fabricated according to dimensions of real implants. Experiments with surface microtextures simulated walking cycle for 210 s and development of lubrication film over time was observed.Results have shown that all types of tested structures improved lubrication of contact area, where the best results were obtained for square and triangle shapes respectively. Second set of experiments was based on the fact, that the composition of synovial fluid of healthy people differs from the composition of patients with various stages of osteoarthritis. Therefore, experiments with different model fluids were compared, which in their composition correspond to different groups of patients. For the model fluid that corresponds to the largest number of cases, experiments with individual components and combinations thereof were subsequently performed to provide a more detailed description of how these components affect the film-forming mechanism. The results show, that a change in fluid composition of patients with osteoarthritis can have a major negative effect on fluid formation process within the pair.

Building and control of 5-axis milling machines
Hekrle, Pavel ; Marek, Tomáš (referee) ; Holub, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with detailed description of acceptance tests of machining centers. The first part contains segmentation of geometric tolerances, which are used for geometric accuracy tests. A large part of this thesis is dedicated to these tests. The next part includes phases of preparations for acceptance tests as well as segmentation and progress of these tests. One part of the thesis is devoted to machine alignment. The last chapter contains detailed description and principle of some modern measuring devices which are used for acceptance tests.
