Stress-strain analysis of clamping mechanism element
Gergeľ, Erik ; Navrátil, Petr (referee) ; Skalka, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with creation of computational model and solves Stressstrain analysis of a car window clamping mechanism element. The main focus of thesis is to locate a critical area of part and find out the distribution of stress is this area. FEA system ANSYS was used for this analysis. The shape optimization based on results of FEA was successful. The equivalent stress was significantly lowered. It would be able to increase the operating time of clamping element.

Hybride adhesive bonded joints of metals and composite materials
Jetela, Václav ; Symonov, Volodymyr (referee) ; Klement, Josef (advisor)
The first part of the diploma thesis with name „Hybrid adhesive bonded joints of metals and composite materials“ comprise surface pretreatment review. There is also mentioned current review of adhesives for composite and aluminium adherends. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to lap hybrid joint shear strength tests. The effects of adherend thickness, overlap lenght and surface pretreatment on shear strength were investigated. Measured parameters of hybrid joints are proved with a FE analysis with enough accuracy. Conclusions could be used for optimum design of hybrid joint with aluminium and composite adherends.

Vehicle Front Wheel Carrier Behaviour Analysis
Baxant, Roman ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
Master’s thesis is focused on a design of front uprights for Dragon 8 racing car of TU Brno Racing Formula Student team. This thesis follows up the bachelor’s thesis called “Race Car Front Wheel Carrier Design”. Discussion about team’s recent upright and component designs is followed by a model creation with use of topology optimization. Final geometry is simulated in FEA software. Design of the upright is then compared to the previous designs and also to its substitute produced with milling machining process.

Verification of operation of piezoelectric composite strain sensor
Kubiš, Juraj ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of piezoelectric elements as sensing elements in engineering practice. The work can be divided into three main parts. The first part describes the actual use of these elements in practice, either as sensing elements or as a source for energy harvesting. This section contains the selection of components for a given experiment, the creation of a model using FEM and the measurement process of the experiment. The third part is the evaluation of the obtained results and subsequent comparison with the obtained values from strain gauges and other sensors.

Homogenization of closed foam structures using Kelvin cell
Škoviera, Jozef ; Navrátil, Petr (referee) ; Skalka, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor‘s thesis deals with creating calculation model of the foam structure based on Kelvin cell with closed porosity. First aim of this work is homogenization of the foam structure by identical deformation response in foam structure and continuum. Second aim is follow-up parametrical study of influence of characteristic measures of Kelvin cell on material characteristics. Task was solved in ANSYS software by method of final elements. Resultant dependences rendering was done in MATLAB software.

Stress-strain analysis of lower limb prosthetic
Musilová, Kateřina ; Fuis, Vladimír (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
This master thesis deals with lower-limb prosthesis. The aim of the first part of this work is stress-strain analysis of trans-tibial prosthesis, which is understand without prosthetic socket and the foam prosthetic feet. Analysis is made using finite element method in ANSYS Workbench 12.0 software. For the purpose of setting up the computational model it is necessary to make few partial models. Model of geometry of the prosthesis is made in SolidWorks 2009. Based on the outputs of stress-strain analysis and the results evaluation, the critical component is chosen and this one is evaluated according to limite state for fatigue. The algorithm of evaluation of named component in the state of high cycle fatigue is discussed in the second part of this thesis.

Integration of SMART Material within Mechanical Structure
Běhal, Josef ; Majer, Zdeněk (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the modelling of the piezoelectric composite material using the finite element method. The thesis is divided into three parts. Research study is done in the first part. It focuses on the possibility of use of the piezoelectric layers as sensors. The second part concerns the homogenization of MFC (macro fiber composite). Material and piezoelectric parameters are obtained by modelling elementary structural cell under different loading conditions. Determined characteristics are verified with experimental data. The third part proposes the design of the experimental device, which allows the simulation of the rotor excitation by rotating unbalance. Excitation responses of MFCs placed in specific locations are calculated using FEA model of the device. The conclusion includes the description of the suitability to vibration measurement on the device.

Stress-strain analysis of front seat folding mechanism
Gergeľ, Erik ; Gašparec, Andrej (referee) ; Skalka, Petr (advisor)
This master thesis deals with creation of computational model for stress - strain analysis of front car seat folding mechanism. The calculation has been done using FEM for static and dynamic load case. The results displayed the critical area of mechanism and determined the value of force when the safety of mechanism is not guaranteed and the force when the mechanism failure occurs. According to results from both load cases was made a statement that is necessary to model the dynamic load cases respecting the load time course.
