Comparative analysis of physiological, degenerative and postoperative lumbar spine using computational modeling
Krejbychová, Adéla ; Návrat, Tomáš (referee) ; Vosynek, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the comparative analysis of the physiological, degenerative and postoperative state of the lumbar spine. The problem was solved by computational modeling using the finite element method. For this solution, it was necessary to create appropriate computational models. The spine physiological state was compared with cases of the lumbar spine with different levels of spondylolisthesis, cases of the lumbar spine with different sacral angles, and cases of lumbar spine with applied fixators. Based on the performed analyses, it was found that spine degenerative state has a great influence on the distribution of stress in the vertebral discs and the vertebra itself. Compared to the physiological state, with increasing level of the spondylolisthesis the stress in the vertebral discs increases, while the stress in the vertebral section decreases. Furthermore, the spondylolisthesis affects the force flow. The higher the level of the spondylolisthesis, the more the force flow is shifted onto the posterior articular ligaments. The best results in terms of the spine physiological state were achieved with the applied fixator model.

Analysis of the mechanical properties of plastic parts realized by 3D printing
Krejbychová, Adéla ; Benešovský, Marek (referee) ; Vosynek, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of mechanical quantities of PET-G samples which were created by using 3D printing. The problem was solved experimentally. The samples were printed by using the FDM technology (Fused Deposition Modeling). Mechanical properties were measured by the tensile test and the measured quantities were further analyzed statistically. The influence of the pigment, the material manufacturer and the effect of setting the process parameters on the actual construction of the samples were investigated. On the basis of the carried out analyses it was discovered that the samples printed horizontally in the XY plane with a 45° / -45° fill angle from Devil Design had the best mechanical properties.
