The analysis of acoustic properties of innovative wood-based materials
Svojanovský, Jan ; Nop, Patrik (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
The content of this work is research of innovative wood-based materials in the acous-tic perspective. Basically, the goal is to determine the influence of the internal structure of the wood-based material on variables, which are sound speed, acoustic resistance, or acous-tic constant. In total were measured 15 samples, each one was made in a different way. Each sam-ple was weighted, and the length of its sides was measured. By using the ultra sonic timer, it was measured the time of the sound impulses, which go through the samples in all of their axes for the purpose of observation the influence the fibers on speed of sound in the materi-al. The next thing to do was to determine another magnitude, which describe acoustic of the material. All measurements were taken in room conditions (room humidity). Six of the sam-ples, which were randomly selected from those 15 samples, were measured once again after two weeks. In those two weeks were all the samples saved in air-conditioned place in which was the room humidity distinct lower. In the end all the samples were compared with each other and they were also com-pared with materials which are commonly used in production of musical instruments or acoustic components. Possible use in the music industry was assigned to each sample.

Research study of mechanical properties of cranial tissue
Wojtek, Lukáš ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problematics of determining mechanical properties of cranial bone tissue. In this thesis a search study associated with an experimental determination of mechanical properties of bone tissues is executed. A brief history and progress of imaging methods and their importance of computation modelling are introduced. There are descriptions of histomorfometric parameters describing a structure of bone tissue at the micro level, ways of their computation and their impact on mechanical properties of bone tissue. Practical part of the thesis is focused on processing micro-CT images of cranial bone as well as analysing histomorfometric parameters (BV/TV, TbTh, TbSp) and subsequently stress strain analysis of selected sections of cranial bone tissue. Resulting Young´s modulus of elasticity of bone tissue [MPa] are compared with results from experiments from literature.

The Analysis of impedance properties of the bridge in string instruments
Němec, Petr ; Nop, Patrik (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
It is a known fact that stringed instruments bridge makes an important part of "acoustic circuit" of their bodies. Bridge acts as an acoustic filter which has the biggest impact on 2 – 6 kHz band and high frequency bands. To find the connection between the impact of a specific acoustic and mechanical properties of a bridge and acoustical behavior of the entire instrument remains as a matter of further exploration. Aim of this thesis is to find the mentioned relations of a chosen materials in an accordance to their mechanical properties within a full range of materials with common bridge properties. The experiments are designed to determine mechanical and acoustic properties of chosen materials which are then used to fabricate bridges. Subsequently the acoustical behavior of instruments with chosen bridges is determined. Based upon these findings we propose specific solutions and suggest further research.

Determination of mechanical characteristics of coatings using impulse excitation technique
Valášek, Daniel ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Válka, Libor (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the determination of the Young’s modulus of coatings using the impulse excitation technique (IET). The theoretical part of the thesis describes Cold and Thermal Spray technology, theoretical foundations of the impulse excitation technique and models of composite materials. The experimental part of the thesis deals with the determination of the tensile modulus of copper coating created by Cold Spray technology. The impulse excitation technique has been used to measure fifteen samples with coating thickness ranging approximately from 0,4 to 2 mm. Results from this measurement were evaluated using five composite models to establish the Young’s modulus of the applied coating. The best results were achieved by using the composite model based on rule of mixtures (ROM).

Techniques of thin layers deposition and characterization, their analysis using scanning electron microscopy
Kiška, Roman ; Moravčík, Igor (referee) ; Čupera, Jan (advisor)
My thesis is concerned with the application of thin films methods and it focuses on the method of PVD and CVD. Another part of my work is experimental, where two samples were preapared by magnetron sputtering and by method of gas phase deposition. The aim of the work was to compare their material properties with commercially produced samples. Severel parts were measured - nanohardness, adhesion, roughness and thickness. Theoretical part focuses on chemical and physical essence of the different methods of the deposition of thin films and on the description of material properties, that are essential for thin films. The practical part includes the description of depositional processes and of the characteristic techniques used in the practical part.

Cross-correlation of mechanical properties of hydrogels on micro/macro-scale studied by atomic force microscopy and oscillation rheometry
Kuzník, Pavel ; Szabová, Jana (referee) ; Smilek, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on measurement of mechanical properties of hydrogels on local and macroscopic level by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and oscillation rheometry. Both techniques allows measurement of hydrogel in hydrated state which provides native state of measured samples and prevents them from inserting artefacts into measurements made by AFM, which could negatively change measured values. AFM has more measuring modes, but for measurement in this bachelor thesis was used tapping mode called Contact mode force mapping. The largest part of this work is concentrated on measurement of agarose hydrogel, which pertains to category of physical hydrogels, concretely concentration line and time dependency (syneresis of hydrogel) were measured by both techniques. Suitability of AFM for measuring of mechanical properties of hydrogels was tested on other hydrogel samples with different type of crosslinking. Hydrogel based on sodium alginate crosslinked by calcium ionts (Ca2+) was tested. Furthermore were measured two chemical gels including polyethylenglycol (PEG) hydrogel and organogel of ethylene propylene-diene monomer (EPDM). Measurement of PEG hydrogel included time dependency due to its swelling and absorption behaviour, which led into dissolving of PEG hydrogel. EPDM organogel is not dissolving in water, so it was measured as a standard for AFM measurements. In addition to Young’s modulus as a base parameter for measurement of hydrogels in swollen state, was adhesion and work of adhesion tested in case of EPDM gels.

The impact of freezing of arterial tissue on its stress-strain response
Horák, František ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Hrubanová, Anna (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with freezing of the arterial tissue at -20 °C and its impact on mechanical properties of artery. The introductory part focuses on basic medical terms related to the issue followed by presentation of scientific publications dealing with artery tissue freezing. The attention is mainly paid to measurements and evaluation of results. The main part of the thesis contains description of the methodology of biaxial tensile test of porcine artery tissue with process of measuring the artery’s Young's modulus. Statistical analysis is used to determine the impact of freezing on mechanical properties of the artery. Description of limitations of this experiment is also included.
