This thesis deals with a population based stochastic optimization technique PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and its acceleration. This simple, but very effective technique is designed for solving difficult multidimensional problems in a wide range of applications. The aim of this work is to develop a parallel implementation of this algorithm with an emphasis on acceleration of finding a solution. For this purpose, a graphics card (GPU) providing massive performance was chosen. To evaluate the benefits of the proposed implementation, a CPU and GPU implementation were created for solving a problem derived from the known NP-hard Knapsack problem. The GPU application shows 5 times average and almost 10 times the maximum speedup of computation compared to an optimized CPU application, which it is based on.

V této diplomové práci jsou popsané SHM metody používané v letectví a dále jsou udělány MKP simulace šíření ultrazvoukových vln v celokompozitním tenkostěnném materiálu používaném u leteckých konstrukcí. Pro simulaci byla zvolena SHM metoda nazývaná pitch-catch. Simulace byla provedena na dvou různých kompozitových materiálech a každý z nich byl testován třemí různými konfiguracemi s trhlinou a jednou konfigurací bez trhliny. Jako prepocessor byl použit MSC.Patran a jako post processory byli použity MSC.Nastran a MSC.Dytran, jejichž výsledky byli na závěr porovnány. Simulace prokázali, že rychlost šíření a amplituda vln šířících se v simulovaném panelu je trhlinami ovlivněna. Při konfiguracích s trhlinami rychlost šíření i amplituda vln byli menší, než v případě bez trhliny. Jako vhodnější post processor při MKP simulacích se ukázal MSC.Nastran, jehož výsledky byli přesnější a zárověň bylo i snažší správně odečítat hodnoty dat z grafů pro podrobnější pozorování šíření vln.

The main focus of my master thesis is the assessment of effects of the bearing shields stiffness and balance quality on synchronous generator vibration. The incentive of writing the thesis is the problematic situation, which is characterized by synchronous generator vibration. The aim of my thesis is to variate shields stiffness and to find out the dependence of vibration on stiffness during nominal speed. I have used the program ANSYS based on finite element method to solve this problem.

The second part presents and evaluates the results of measuring acceleration and vibration of the trailer, and it describes the concrete chassis of a tandem trailer. There is included an analysis of the existing structure, design modifications and stress calculation and evaluation of newly designed chassis structure. The thesis is developed in cooperation with PANAV, a.s.

This diploma thesis deals with an atypical heated bed for FDM 3D printer. It presents the most commonly used ways of heating and the chosen variant of the heated beds are realized by powerful resistors. There are also discussed three ways of placement of resistors on the desktop motherboards that are modeled in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2016 and exported to Autodesk Fusion 360, where FEM calculations are made. Optimal alternative is made and tested. The test results are compared with the results of thermal simulations in Autodesk Fusion 360.

The final thesis „Explicit and Implicit methods in nonlinear dynamics“ deals with the issue of geometrical and physical nonlinear analysis of structures exposed to seismic loading by the methods of direct integration of equations of motion. Solution by the explicit and the implicit method is compared for three material models. While the differences between the results of the explicit method and the implicit Newmark method are small as expected, the differences are substantial between the results of different material models. However, these differences are explained and they are in full concordance with the theoretical assumptions for the pertinent material models. The conclusion of the final thesis is check of correctness of the results of the new module of the program system RFEM for both tested numerical methods and all three analyzed material models. (linear elastic, plastic Drucker-Prager and the Mazars damage model). With sufficient precision of results, both explicit and implicit numerical methods showed to be suitable for seismic analysis. The implicit method can provide several times faster calculation than the explicit one, but the determination of the optimal time step is problematic and time consuming, so the suitability of use of both methods for seismic analysis is comparable.

Traditional all wooden construction joints are currently widely used when historically valuable buildings are being reconstructed. These construction joints are indispensable and irreplaceable in order to maintain cultural heritage for our future generations. They underline the importance of the wooden structures and buildings, which in many cases might have incalculable historical, artistic as well as financial value. However, increased interest brings many challenges and potential risks that need to be taken into account and eliminated by appropriate solution(s). Adequate employment of these wooden joints requires a research-based approaches, which allows proper implementation within existing constructions while maintaining its reliability and safety. Main aim of preset doctoral thesis was to contribute to the development of suitable methods for analyzing mechanical behavior of all wooden construction joints, especially dowel joints, which are mainly used for reconstruction of damaged wooden elements or their parts. For such purposes, various methods (models), based on combination of theoretical, experimental and numerical approaches, has been used. This work was divided to a) basic mechanical tests of solid wood and b) complex finite element analyses of all wooden joints and constructions. Mechanical behavior in tension, compression, bending and shear was tested on small clear specimens made of spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and oak (Quercus robur L.). Analyzed species were chosen as a most important historical as well as present European building materials. Mechanical response was captured using cameras in stereovision 3D configuration in order to obtain full-field displacement and strain data sets. Based on obtained data, material characteristics were determined and verified in frame of assembled material models for finite element analyses (FEA). Verified elasto-plastic material models were used as main material inputs for complex FEA for evaluation of mechanical response of joints and constructions subjected to load. Furthermore, material characteristics were used in calculations of mechanical properties of dowel joints. Numerical analyses were done using ANSYS software with parametric design language (APDL). Experimental results of single-shear dowel joints are in agreement with theoretical approach according to European Yield Method (EYM) theory, which was used for determination of joints and fasteners yield strength. FEA proved that assembled elasto-plastic material models can predict the ultimate strength even in complex tasks, and therefore, can be used for more reliable designing of wooden constructions and joints in variety of configurations.
