In this diploma thesis is processed theoretical analysis of moisture and deformation field of wooden beams. This analysis is used in calculating internal stresses and deformations in model examples using finite element method software. The work is divided according to the types of boundary conditions of the modeled wooden element into three basic groups according to the type of support. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of moisture load on deformations in the cross-section of a wooden element. Simultaneously with the numerical computation using the software, analytical calculations of deflection were performed for the validation of numerical methods, butt only for the case of force loading without the influence of the humidity gradient.

This thesis is focused on the issue of computational modeling of soil harvesting while using the compact excavator from the company DOOSAN BOBCAT EMEA s.r.o.. The solution consists in creating two computational models in Rocky DEM and Ansys Mechanical. Rocky DEM software is used to solve the disconnection of soil by excavator components using the discrete element method. The outcome includes courses of forces and moments during the particular time of the individual joints of the model that was used. The obtained courses are then applied as an external load to the joint of a selected structural part of the analyzed model using a kinematic model in ANSYS Mechanical. The kinematic model consists of simplified geometry models of individual parts of the excavator arm, and a more detailed geometry model of the analyzed part of the arm. All the parts are connected to each other by rotational bonds representing joints. A static structural analysis of the mechanical stress is performed in ANSYS Mechanical for the prepared model during the simulated process. Finally, the selected structural part is assessed with respect to the elastic limit and fatigue strength.

Finally, in this thesis is described the m-file of MATLAB for analyzing electric field intensity of the waveguide in longitudinal direction to both domain. In last part is concisely exposed perfect match layers.

The non-increasing rearrangement of a measurable real function defined on an appropriate measure space is of the enormous significance in disciplines such as theory of function spaces or interpolation theory and their applications in PDEs. Unfortunately, while it has good and widely applicable mapping properties, it is virtually impossible to calculate the non-increasing rearrangement of a concrete given function precisely. Numerical algorithms for approximation are desirable for this reason. Such method of approximation, based on interpolation by a linear spline, is presented in this thesis. In the first half of this thesis, the developed method is described, while the error estimates of the method are subject to the second part.

The diploma thesis defines how the graphical information of magazine front pages influences consumer's decision making. Subsequently, the thesis also deals with the suggestion of optimal layout of elements for magazines. Due to above mentioned, the research aims on consumers whose age is ranging from 19 up to 26 years and they study at Mendel University in Brno. Nowadays knowledge and approaches to this topic are covered in theoretical part. In terms of the subject of the thesis the qualitative research were performed. It was based on two tech-niques -- the first one is called eye tracker and latter is in-depth interviewing. In the thesis there are also described individual phases of research and data received. On the basis of obtained information there was done the analysis of general preferences, colour, typography, photos and pictures depicted at the front page. The summarization of research results can be found in the final part of the diploma thesis

This thesis examines the issues associated with drumstick mechanical properties and possibilities of experimental methods and theoretical descriptions. Gradually, it focuses on the use of numerical methods to describe the behavior of musical instruments, especially percussion. The methodology explains the construction of a model drumstick and execution of modal analysis using a commercially available software ANSYS. The goal of the methodolgy is a comparison of natural frequencies and mode shapes for each alternative model. Design alternatives were also compared in terms of geometry, material composition and the impact on the natural frequencies and vibration shapes. The final step of this method was a creation of a modified drumstick model using composite materials.

Diploma thesis deals with landscape reclamation in areas influenced by underground mining of mineral resources. The aim of diploma thesis is to create a study of selected areas reclamation. Within the model area was developed the concept of the integration of the surroundings and the functional use of reclaimed areas. Subsequently were designed the vegetation modifications leading to ensure the harmonious function of the territory. The focus is placed on the vegetation elements with different functions, establishment methods and species composition corresponding to the specific site conditions. There were formulated recommendations for subsequent care based on vegetation modifications with an emphasis on achieving the prescribed goal of creating a harmonious landscape with subsequent recreational use.

This thesis focuses on the issue of water elements in the landscape. The work is divided into two main parts. The first part has been investigating the types of water elements and their properties using the available literature. The second part contains the actual work that is elaborated in a study of water elements in the cadastral municipality Semanín. The main work is focused on the analysis of the historical development and current condition of water elements. The current condition is evaluated using the methodology that tracks particular hydromorphological condition, water quality, accompanying aquatic vegetation of the elements, the overall look and a management of the water elements. In case that the water feature shows some of the parameters evaluated as negative, measures are proposed (care management), which are intended to improve these parameters. Technology of measure is proposed on the basis of commonly used methods for management of watercourses and areas.

Snowboarding as one of the fastest developing sports nowadays forces manufacturers to improve equipment for this sport or to introduce other innovations that would enhance pleasure of the ride. The most important and expensive part of the equipment is the snowboard itself. So far, the high-quality snowboards with the best ride properties include wood core. Every year a competition called Good Wood is organized for the best snowboard models of the season. This thesis deals with design and assessment of the new innovative composition of snowboard cores using different combinations of wood and other structural solutions. These compositions were compared with an already time-proven composition currently used by Hackboards Ltd. company. By using the stress simulation with the finite element method in SolidWorks Simulation program the stress progress and the deflection size of designed cores and the reference core were found out. Part of this thesis was also determining some of the physical and mechanical properties of native wood types according to relevant norms. Measured values were used to verify possibilities of using data of appropriate wood type from literatur efor simulation. Designed composition of the wood core formed by battenboard combining by poplar and beech reached very similar values as the reference composition formed by battenboard made of poplar and ash. The composition of combined laminated poplar and beech veneers showed a little worse properties. The composition formed by beech battenboard and the composition of laminated beech veneers showed worse properties in comparison with the reference composition.

This thesis deals with the issue of founding wooden structures above the ground level, i.e. with the existence of a crawl space between the ground and the floor structure. The thesis focuses on the utilisation of numerical methods for describing behaviour of the crawl space and its effects on temperature in adjacent structures. The methodology deals with the possibilities of determining thermal conductivity of air in the crawl space, which is a necessary input for a modal analysis in the ANSYS environment. Further, models with various levels of ventilation, crawl space shape, and material composition of the floor structure were constructed. These models served for monitoring temperature within the floor structure and for evaluating the level of influence of changed crawl space parameters.
