Analysis of Smart Materials
Rašner, Martin ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis "Smart Materials Analysis" deals with the description of intelligent materials in the way of usability in technical practice. At first, the research of smart materials is carried out, which is further elaborated on a detailed description of shape memory materials. In order to investigate the functionality of the material and the description of its behaviour in terms of non-linear oscillation, a simplified model is proposed. The practical part deals with the application of passive damping of Nitinol. The solution is accomplished by modelling program MATLAB / Simulink.

The metal biocompatible materials and their use
Klusák, Ondřej ; Čelko, Ladislav (referee) ; Klakurková, Lenka (advisor)
The aim of proposed bachelor thesis is in a form of a literature search to create an overview of materials for medical application. The thesis is focused in detail primarily on selected groups of (inter)metallic biocompatible materials like nitinol, titanium (Ti), titanium alloys and cobalt based alloys. The explanation of term Biocompatibility and separation of the materials according to their biological tolerance is included in thesis introduction and next several chapters. This thesis provide various information both about historical and current development, the manufacture processes, chemical compositions, mechanical properties and the most common applications of these materials. One of the major aims of this work is to outline an expected future development of biocompatible materials and to introduce new trends. This thesis is written and can be dedicated not only for specialists but also for students interested in the topic of metallic biocompatible materials.

Smart Materials for Medical Applications
Kaplán, Martin ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Florian, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis describes materials which react to external stimuli. These materials are know as Smart materials. The thesis provides an overview of these materials and their use in the field of medicine. A lot of attentions is paid to Nitinol as the most significant representative of Smart materials. The thesis brings a simulation of using shape memory effect of Nitinol staple for bone fracture fixation. This simulation use the method of finite elements for solving and it is done in ANSYS modeling software. The simulation has only demonstrational purpose.

Brehovský, Patrik ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (referee) ; Huzlík, Rostislav (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis “Smart materials for actuators” deals with appropriate use materials, named smart, in actuators. At the beginning, the thesis completes requests about actuators, which we need to set before making project. Next part is about the research of smart materials suitable used in actuators. The thesis continues with description of few more interesting smart materials. Thesis is ended with summary, which material is suitable to use for few selected projects and why.

Memory Materials
Josiek, Robert ; Šesták, Petr (referee) ; Molliková, Eva (advisor)
Currently, shape memory materials are very popular, especially intermetallic compounds NiTi. This alloy is very stable and corrosion resistant, but its production is very difficult because of the high reactivity of titanium. Shape memory effect in this material is dependent on many parameters, such as chemical composition or heat treatment. This bachelor’s thesis explains one-way and two-way memory effect. Another one phenomenon associated with the martensitic transformation, superelasticity, is mentioned, too. The applications of these materials are described in separate chapter of this bachelor’s thesis.

Neutron investigation of Nitinol stents and massive samples before and after PIRAC coating
Rogante, M. ; Buhagiar, J. ; Cassar, G. ; Debono, M. ; Lebedev, V. ; Mikula, Pavol ; Ryukhtin, Vasil
Nitinol, a thermoelastic Ni-Ti Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) with approximately 50 at. % Ti, is adopted in a wide range of medical equipment and devices used in interventional radiology, orthopaedics, neurology and cardiology, in particular as a smart material for stents. In this work, NiTi real stents and massive samples before and after different Powder Immersion Reaction Assisted Coating (PIRAC) treatments have been investigated by using two neutron techniques: (1) Small and Ultra-Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS, USANS) for nano- and micro-scale characterization, obtaining information on structure and the effects due to the coating treatment, and (2) High-Resolution Neutron Diffraction (HRND), evaluating the macrostrain components resulting from angular shifts of diffraction peaks and the micro-strains in the plastically deformation region by means of profile-broadening analysis. The obtained results contribute: improving knowledge of defects and other key features of the materials complementary to those achieved by using traditional examination techniques. helping to better understand the functional characteristics of Nitinol parts and predict the material's mechanical behaviour.
