Processing of electromagnetic and acoustic emission signals during mechanical stressing of solids
Šopík, Martin ; Holcman, Vladimír (referee) ; Koktavý, Pavel (advisor)
Electromagnetic emission and acoustic emission are physical phenomena evoked in non-conductive material by the sudden release of energy that generate rising cracks in material structure. The significant is a fact that these emission signals are detected already in stadium of materials loading whereof can be used e.g. at non-destructive diagnostics of building materials and constructions. In the appropriate manner processing of the emitted signals then make possible to obtain valuable informations for study physical properties of cracks. Master’s thesis describes methods designed for important signal data ascertainment in time, frequency even time-frequency domain. It can be e.g. start time, maximum value, dominant frequency in spectrum etc. All these methods are implemented into main program. Next load is formularization of source signal transformation which is given by used measuring circuit. Analytical method is chosen for solving. It means finding out reserve electrical circuit with constant element values. Resultant circuit approaches original circuit with less square error than existing way. The signal transformation is described by differential equation of second order with constant coefficients. MATLAB software is used for all computations and projections.

Characterization of Secondary Created Structures in PN Junctions of Silicon Solar Cells
Šicner, Jiří ; Číp, Ondřej (referee) ; Navrátil, Vladislav (referee) ; Koktavý, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis describes the study and characterization of secondary created structures in PN junction of silicon solar cells. Secondary created structure is the term which means the structures created for the purpose of suppressing the negative influence of local defects and edges of the solar cell. This means in particular laser notches used to isolate the edges. Furthermore, the secondary created structure means modification defective area using focused ion beam milling. Theoretical part of this work deals with short introduction to the topic of solar cells. There are mentioned the physical nature of the solar cell and the technology associated with the issue of solar cells. Experimental section begins with a description of the experimental methods. For diagnostic methods were used both electrical (UI characteristics, noise characteristics) and optical methods (measuring local radiation - CCD camera, thermal imager, lock-in thermography). Furthermore, there was also used a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with technology using Focused Ion Beam (FIB). Sequentially there are presented individual results of characterization of created structures by laser. These partial results are incorporated into a comprehensive methodology developed for characterizing laser-created structures. The experimental part is finished by a presentation of the results of the research use of focused ion beam technology for sputtering defective areas of solar cells.

Application of electromagnetic and acoustic emission signals for localization of cracks generated during mechanical stressing of solids
Burděj, Václav ; Sadovský, Petr (referee) ; Koktavý, Pavel (advisor)
Terms of acoustic emission (AE) and electromagnetic emission (EME) designated physical effects and also as diagnostic methods based on these effects. These effects are caused by generated cracks in materials that rank among non-destructive techniques of material diagnostics. The advantage of them is that they do not affect the measured object and give us information about the current dynamic state of a tested material. One disadvantage of these effects is that they provide very low energy of signal emissions and make it difficult for broader usage. It is expected better localization of cracks in non-conductive materials by connecting of these two techniques (diagnostics). There are designed and described new methods for crack detection with usage of AE and EME signals in this work. Also there is description of measuring arrangement intended of crack detection and experimental sample for checking accuracy of methods for crack detection. There was performed comparison of accuracy of methods in crack detection.

Kočvárek, Ondřej ; Jakubová, Ivana (referee) ; Gregor, Jan (advisor)
The introduction of this work is devoted to the description of physical principals and condtruction of modern semiconductor thermoelectric transformers. This work describes thein basic characters and the most commonly used materials for thein production. Further, it mentions the basic principals and physical effects that describe the thermoelectric conversion of energy and the nondestructive method for establishing the basic material characteristics of thermoelectric transformers. The substantiv part of this work is the measuring of the material’s characteristics of the accessible thermoelectric elements through the medium of experimental measuring network. The optimal construction of thermoelectric solar generators used for individual thermoelectric elements are designed based on the taken measurements and the evaluation of material’s characteristics of the observed thermoelectric elements.

Using thermochromic systems for testing heat distribution
Klimeš, Jan ; Sedlaříková, Marie (referee) ; Zatloukal, Miroslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with principles of thermochromism and its possible applications in heat distribution testing. Theoretical part describes mechanisms which allow the thermochromic properties of the substances. Particular attention is paid to cholesteric liquid crystals. Ability to measure the heat for this type of liquid crystals was varified. Also long service life in high humidity environment, enviroment with intense UV radiation, cyclic changes in temperature or immersion in water was tested. A possibility of their practical use in diagnosis was verified as well. Specifically mapping of heat distribution on an assembled PCB. Conclusion contains comparison and evaluation of this method in terms of accuracy, user comfort and economic advantages compared to conventional infrared sensors.
