Biblioverse - Multifunctional building with library
Řehořová, Jana ; Vala, Jiří (referee) ; Bykov, Oleksii (advisor)
Projekt pracuje s archaickým obrazem knihovny jako “chrámu vzdělanosti” a zároveň se snaží posunout její současný institucionální podtext založený na myšlence hromadění znalostí směrem k jejich pečlivému výběru a interpretaci. Dříve byly informace nedostatkovým zbožím a přístup ke vzdělanosti výsadou nepočetných společenských vrstev, úzce spjatých s mocí. Osvícenství a průmyslová revoluce přinesly v druhé polovině 19. stol. politické a technologické změny v šíření informací, které stále akcelerují. Strojní tisk novin a knih, vlak, telegraf a později telefon, jako předskokani digitálního šíření informací umožňily transportovat informace v množství a rychlostech do té doby nepředstavitelných. Vznikají moderní veřejné instituce a mezi nimi i veřejné knihovny, které mají zprostředkovat znalosti všem. Dnes se nicméně zdá, že to není touha po množství informací a znalostí ale snaha a potřeba rozumnět okolnímu světu, která je v lidské povaze neměnná. Práh, kdy zahlcení informacemi nepřispívá k hledání smyslu a vlastní pozice ve světě, je dnes součástí naší každodenní zkušenosti. Koncepce knihovny založená na hromadění a snadném vyhledávání informací se zdá být v době digitální komunikace nadbytečná, a princip, který fungoval dříve nemusí fungovat dnes. Zároveň fakt, že knihovny stále pracují primárně s mediem fyzické knihy, ukotvuje knihovnu v neaktuálnosti. Jako zprostředkovatel obrazu minulosti pak pomíjí přítomnost a její palčivá témata. Medium knihy lze na druhou stranu v digitálním světě chápat také jako největší výsadu knihoven, což z nich ale dělá jinou instituci. V projektu proto navrhuji nový koncept knihovny jakožto centra informačního managementu, jehož cílem je zpřístupnění informací validním způsobem. Knihovníci jakožto informační specialisté jsou zároveň kurátoři obsahu instituce i způsobu jeho “vystavení” veřejnosti. Knihovna tak přebírá principy jiných osvícenských institucí jako je muzeum a galerie. Knihovníci/kurátoři pracují s konkrétním aktuálním tématem, které během jeho expozice vyvrcholí v jeho veřejně dostupný organizovaný katalog. Vzniká tak kurátorský výběr informací k danému tématu – kolekce prezentovaná odpovídajícím způsobem odrážejícím aktuální očekávání a pohledy na svět. Aparát, který reaguje na současnost a podkládá ji minulostí. Místo, kde je čas zastavit a zamyslet se do hloubky nad vymezeným tématem.

Control Systems
Vala, Jiří ; Konvalina, Jiří (referee) ; Kunovský, Jiří (advisor)
The MSc Thesis deals with real-time modelling, especially with the control circuits, where we focus on the regulation circuit with auxiliary model of the regulated system. The introduction contains the Theory of Controls and regulation. The work is divided into two basic parts. The first part deals with the problems from the theoretical point of view. The theoretical part is concerned with the general systems. Various definitions of systems, their partition and mathematical methods for their description are mentioned after introducing. A description the regulation circuits, their partition, structures and types follows. There are shown the particular regulators and different types of regulated systems in details. Mathematical methods applied to solve the differential equations that describe the models of the systems are summarized in the second part of the work. The end of this chapter is concerned with the TKSL system. In the practical part I have produced Microsoft Power Point program which summarizes the results of experiments, made in the TKSL and TKSL/C system. The output of simulation was transformed into the graphs in the format of Microsoft Excel. The last part deals with suggestion and implementation simulators of control circuits.

Development and use of non-destructive testing methods from the point of view of forensic engineering
Bílek, Petr ; Vala, Jiří (referee) ; Vodička, Jan (referee) ; Hobst, Leonard (advisor)
Concretes reinforced by, using distributed steel reinforcements (fibres) are known as fibre-concrete. In case of disturbances or accidents of concrete structures reinforced with wires, it is necessary to carefully examine the actual implementation of dispersed reinforcement. Fibre concretes belong to modern building materials whose possible applications have not been fully utilized so far. Have been mainly used for floor structures loaded with factory halls and warehouses. Recently, thanks to well-known physical and mechanical properties of fibre-concrete, there were numerous attempts of designers, and namely investors, to utilize this kind of materials for support structures either. Favorable properties of wire-concrete can be utilized if there is a necessity to increase the resistance of concrete to stresses exceeding its strength, cyclic stress or impact stress. Daily practice shows to prove that the applications of fibre-concrete in such structures lead to the economic success. Necessary condition for successful application of steel fiber reinforced concrete in constructions however consists in its uniform dispersion, a homogeneous distribution of the wires throughout the volume of the structure. In case of inappropriate processing and deposition of the mixture during the manufacturing process fiber-concrete structures, the fibers are often unevenly distributed. Wires itself represent unfavourably shaped mixture components and they are extremely deteriorating its workability. A grouping of wires may be encountered as well, which reduces the overall homogeneity and the quality of steel fiber-concrete structures. If the homogeneity of fibre-concrete is not kept, the material possess different properties in various parts of the structure (for example, tensile strength), which can lead to defects in the structure (generation and development of cracks). The relevant lower reliability of the structure which is caused by unequal distribution of fibres (wires) in concrete volume can lead to damage of the property as well as the safety and the human lives can be jeopardized. Hence it is necessary to secure the effective control of the fibre-concrete homogeneity in ready support fibre-concrete structures. Contemporary homogeneity control is still ongoing on fresh blends, but if the fibre-concrete hardened and is a part of the construction, no known reliable methods are currently in available to test the homogeneity of the fibre-concrete on the structure without its destruction. The methods developed to control the concentration of wires in wire-concrete structures are based mostly on magnetic or electromagnetic properties of wires. The thesis deals with the development of the magnetic method in situ using permanent magnets for monitoring the distribution of fibers in hardened steel fiber-concrete structures. The test principle is based on measurements of the changes in magnetic field strength of permanent magnets which are induced by a change in wire distribution in steel fibre-concrete structure. Test is characterized as a so called local- failure- test using a small diameter core drill. In this sense it is a semi-destructive method.

The exploitation of parallelization to numerical solutions regarding problems in nonlinear dynamics
Rek, Václav ; Krejsa,, Martin (referee) ; Vala, Jiří (referee) ; Němec, Ivan (advisor)
The main aim of this thesis is the exploration of the potential use of the parallelism of numerical computations in the field of nonlinear dynamics. In the last decade the dramatic onset of multicore and multi-processor systems in combination with the possibilities which now provide modern computer networks has risen. The complexity and size of the investigated models are constantly increasing due to the high computational complexity of computational tasks in dynamics and statics of structures, mainly because of the nonlinear character of the solved models. Any possibility to speed up such calculation procedures is more than desirable. This is a relatively new branch of science, therefore specific algorithms and parallel implementation are still in the stage of research and development which is attributed to the latest advances in computer hardware, which is growing rapidly. More questions are raised on how best to utilize the available computing power. The proposed parallel model is based on the explicit form of the finite element method, which naturaly provides the possibility of efficient parallelization. The possibilities of multicore processors, as well as parallel hybrid model combining both the possibilities of multicore processors, and the form of the parallelism on a computer network are investigated. The designed approaches are then examined in addressing of the numerical analysis regarding contact/impact phenomena of shell structures.

Material properties research for use in high-temperature solar thermal storage tank
Šot, František ; Vala, Jiří (referee) ; TROJAN,, Karel (referee) ; Steuer,, Radek (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (advisor)
The use of thermal storage energy, using phase change materials appears to be an effective way to store thermal energy storage with the benefits of the high amount of energy while maintaining isothermal nature of the process. PCM methods are used in latent thermal storage systems for heat pumps, as well as in solar engineering or for temperature control in spacecraft. The past decade has extended these principles for cooling and heating in the building. There are a number of PCM systems, which operate over a wide temperature range, are used in various applications. This document includes a brief overview of the development and analysis of available thermal storage working mainly on the principle of PCM.
