Parachute Emergency Systems for Very Light Sport Planes
Šorf, Oldřich ; Salga, Jaroslav (referee) ; Daněk, Vladimír (referee) ; Třetina, Karel (advisor)
This PhD thesis describes parachute rescue systems for small planes and focuses on their functionality in the border areas of the flight envelope, especially at very low altitudes and low airspeeds of flight (fall). For extending the functionality of the rescue system in extreme areas of usability envelope, was founded an innovative dividable parachute slider, which works normally at high speed, but at the low airspeeds does not limit the opening time of the canopy. Structural design of this slider is the subject of a new patent application “Parachute opening speed regulation device”, filed with Industrial property Office in Prague on August 14, 2014 under number 2014-543 PV. The PhD thesis further contains computational principle of circular parachute opening and the structural design. For verification of the dividable slider functionality, a parachute model has been constructed and subjected to a series of drop tests. The main benefit of the PhD thesis is extending the usability of rescue system into its statistically most frequent use, i.e. into low altitudes and low airspeeds of flight (fall).

Aerodynamics Parametric Shape Aircraft Optimization
Dofek, Ivan ; Salga, Jaroslav (referee) ; Brož,, Václav (referee) ; Fiľakovský, Karol (advisor)
The work deals with the use of geometric parameterization for shape description of some parts of the airplane. Geometric parametrization is used for creating a parametric model airfoil. This parametric model allows local deformations pobrchu profile and can easily be applied to generate the geometry of the wing or other parts letoumu. Some properties of the parametric model were tested applications in aerodynamic optimization. Furthermore, the work deals with the parametric description of the blades, the aerodynamic optimization and noise analysis. For propeller blade were created distribution function of the control parameters that can be used in aerodynamic optimization of the blades. Geometric parameterization is used for identifying the location and other characteristics of noise sources.

Safety of a Commercial Aircraft after Damage to Airframe due to Terrorist Attack
Lošťák, Miroslav ; Salga, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kusák,, Jan (referee) ; Petrásek, Miloslav (advisor)
Modern-day terrorist attacks present a considerable danger for commercial aircrafts. This thesis analyzes potential methods of such attacks with a critical analysis of the most dangerous type: an attack from the outside of the aircraft via a fragmentation missile warhead. Such missiles cause damage to the airframe of the aircraft through fragments created by the explosion. In this thesis, analytical geometry is used to determine the area of the aircraft affected by the fragmentation. The aircraft’s geometry and the fragments’ dispersion are calculated by analytical functions, and the effect of the damage is analyzed. A shooting experiment was also carried out, in which fragments were shot at a reinforced skin panel that was manufactured according to the real design of commercial aircraft. The results of the experiment revealed that only directly hit sections of the structure are damaged. Data obtained by the experiment was then used for the creation and improvement of the model used in the simulation by means of the finite element method. This model is used for the numerical calculation of the damage sustained. Further included in the thesis is an analysis of the change in the load-bearing capacity after such an attack. The relationship between the size of the damage and its effect on the load-bearing capacity of the component as well as the entire structure is defined. First, the effect of component damage is analyzed via the FMEA/FMECA methods. This analysis is then extended using fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic analysis is based on the determination of the size of the damaged component area and the component’s importance on the structure’s carry loads. Application of the defined approach is described for several parts of an aircraft’s life cycle, including development, operation after the terrorist attack, and assessment of causes after a crash caused by a fragmentation missile warhead.
