Figura velata and its reflection in the Central European surroundings
Magurová, Denisa ; Adamcová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to map the specific phenomenon of 18th century Italian sculpture called "figura velata". It is a female figure with a face veiled in a thin transparent drapery (veil), under which the features of her face are drawn. Illusional treatment of drapery plays with the viewer's vision and creates the impression of something that is not really there. Figura velata was codified as a term especially in connection with the work of the Venetian sculptor Antonio Corradini and his sculptures of this type. The veiling of the human face has been a motif known in the visual arts since ancient times, and in the history of art has played an important role in some cultures and has been associated with various symbolic interpretations. The introduction focuses on clarifying the relationship between the terms of veiling and unveiling or visible and invisible. It is followed by a chapter for which the use of the term veiling in connection with the element of the veil as a bearer of meaning has become the mainstay. A substantial part of the thesis focuses not only on the study of selected sculptural realizations through formal analysis, but also on the meaning of the figure in the over-all iconographic concept. The final part of the thesis is devoted to the reflection and subsequent...
Innovative Approach to Advanced Modulated Waterjet Technology

The paper deals with a new formulation of theory for modulated waterjet technology by analytical model. The fundamental oscillations frequency for modulated waterjet technology has been investigated. This system generates a modulated liquid jet as a result of the resonant chamber introduction. The theoretical model was developed particularly on the basis of knowledge of the geometric dimensions of the system and the liquid pressures in order to predict the values of the fundamental frequencies of oscillations. The predicted oscillation frequencies were verified by laboratory measurements. It has been achieved a significant performance improvement in surface disintegration of material being machined.
