Thin metal coating of polymer materials
Zatloukal, Filip ; Furmann, Denis (referee) ; Nečas, David (advisor)
The study of compliant contacts from a tribological standpoint is very complicated due to low reflectivity and electrical conductivity of materials such as polymers or rubber. These properties significantly limit the possibilities of using conventional methods which are being used to study the film formation and lubricant flow. To enable the use of the conventional methods it is necessary to apply a thin reflective layer on the non-reflective surface. This work evaluates the current literature dealing with the coating of polymeric materials. A method was chosen based on the analysis of the currently available technologies, which is used to apply a thin reflective layer on the polydimethylsiloxane sample. This part is followed by a feasibility study to clarify the effects of the coating on friction processes. This work can significantly contribute to the field of compliant contacts, especially in terms of clarifying the mechanisms of lubrication.

Multiphase CFD simulation of spiral vortex in vaneless swirl generator
Zatloukal, Filip ; Burda, Radim (referee) ; Štefan, David (advisor)
This thesis deals with multiphase CFD simulation of spiral vortex in bladeless swirl generator. Spiral vortex formed in the draft tube of hydraulic turbine is called “vortex rope”. Vortex rope is formed when the turbine is forced to operate in off-design conditions. Assessment of swirl generators used for the study of vortex ropes is presented. The multiphase CFD simulations are carried out for the bladeless swirl generator with use of Reynolds stress turbulence model in ANSYS Fluent software. The results from calculations are compared with available experimental data previously measured on this particular swirl generator. The main focus is on detailed analysis of velocity field in the diffusor part of the generator where the vortex appears. Experimentally estimated swirl number is compared with the one evaluated from simulation. The swirl number is also monitored along the length of diffuser and downstream. Finally, the synchronous and asynchronous pressure pulsations are studies by means of Fast Fourier Transformation.

Modern project management methodology (for custom implementations SW)
Zatloukal, Filip ; Svatá, Vlasta (advisor) ; Juříček, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of project management in the development of custom software, particularly PRINCE2 methodology and agile approaches to software development. The work is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical. It describes the basic concepts of project management, project history and characterizes the selected software development methodologies. The classical methods are represented by waterfall and spiral models. In the context of the agile methods are described Scrum, Extreme Programming, Kanban and Scrumban. Regarding the standards of project management this thesis describes in detail the methodology PRINCE2 which at the end of the theoretical part will be compared to the standards of PMI and IPMA. The second part is practical and describes an adaptation of PRINCE2 for small projects and helps to decide which tools of PRINCE2 are required for small projects use and which ones can be ignored. In this thesis the process of managing product delivery within the PRINCE2 methodology is replaced by the agile methodology Scrumban that is adapted for a software development within analyzed organization. The thesis focuses on a more detailed description of the methodology Scrumban, established metrics and motivation within the development team.

Analysis and comparison of biometric methods
Zatloukal, Filip ; Šedivá, Zuzana (advisor) ; Husa, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with biometrics and biometric systems and the possibility to use these systems in the enterprise. Aim of this study is an analysis and description of selected types of biometric identification methods and their advantages and shortcomings. The work is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical, describes the basic concepts of biometrics, biometric identification criteria, currently used identification systems, the ways of biometric systems use, performance measurements of selected biometric devices and biometric methods. These methods include fingerprints, hand geometry, iris, retina and facial scanning. The second part is practical and describes the implementation of security-biometric attendance system in an enterprise. In this section I test, based on selected measures and criteria, the biometric systems for the use in an enterprise. The cost of the biometric system implementation, as well as the process of its deployment, factors related to implementation and the benefits of the system are also described.
