The diploma thesis dealt with a partial problem of conversion of the mini-excavator E19 by Bobcat with an internal combustion engine to emission-free propulsion. The main task was design and construction of electrical and hydraulic circuits focusing on the drive of a mini-excavator. The simulations verified the properties and behavior of the mini-excavator under different conditions and initial settings. The results were comfirmed by experimental measurements. The output of the simulations recommended adjustments to the values of individual parameters depending on the travel speed but also the efficiency of the entire machine.

This master’s thesis deals with the design of a robotic cell for the automation of woodworking machine tending. The task of the robot is to manipulate with the specified laminated chipboards of various sizes, before and after machining. The boards are brought to the cell on pallets in three possible placement variants. After a brief research part, conceptual designs of cell layout were created. The optimal and further elaborated design came as a result of selected evaluation criteria. The next part of the thesis consists of designs and selection processes of individual components. These were later used to create a simulation model in Tecnomatix Process Simulate software (Siemens), that helped to verify the functionality of the cell layout, design the control logic and acquire the time of the manipulation cycle used for informative calculation of annual production. In the end, the final design was evaluated from an economic point of view with an emphasis on the return of the initial investment.

There is a enormous rise in importance of cryptography. In age of hi-technologies, where information are the most valuable asset, is need to protect this value. But we need to transport information between us and keep information confidental. In this case we use special modes of block cipher because of defect in communication canal. Not all modes are able to deal with this problem. For this purpose, there are special modes. This work deal with self-synchronization modes of block cipher. It is protection of tranfered information in communication canal against different types of defects. We will exam two self-synchronization modes - OCFB (Optimized Cipher FeedBack) and SCFB (Statistical Cipher FeedBack). Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The goal of this work is to provide analyse of both modes and to create simulation model. This model should help with further research of self-synchronization modes.

The diploma thesis deals with computer simulation of processes in the field of energy utilization of waste and biomass. The first part contains description of energy utilization from waste and biomass and fundamental devices of energy systems. There is also described methodology of modeling and techniques used for processes simulation. The next part is focused on mathematical models explanation of processes with constant and variable efficiency. In practical work are compared results from individual considered mathematical models with real data which were obtained from the real operation of waste energy plant. With use of gained mathematical models is considered model situation of cogeneration in the device of biomass and coal co-firing. At the end of this work is suggested implementation of created mathematical models into simulation program W2E.

This thesis deals with numerical analyses of electromagnetic fields on small aircraft with composite parts as an innovative way for assessment of their inherent protection against electromagnetic effects of outside environment in all development stages. It is concentrated for procedures of creation of geometrically and materially complex models for simulating calculations in the time as well as frequency domains, execution of the simulations itself and comparisons of results between the internal electromagnetic calculations and executed experimental tests. Achieved results were verified on a simplified reference model of aircraft's fuselage and two aircraft prototypes VUT100 and EV-55 of the company Evektor, spol. s r. o.

This paper examines the model-based design of thermal systems in mobile machines with a focus on heat exchanger design. An industry project is described in which the vapor compression cycle for the air-conditioning system was modeled using the software SimulationX. By modeling heat exchanger sections separately, multiple flow arrangements could be tested without the need for physical prototypes. The paper presents this work in the context of the full model-based design process including extensions for hardware in the loop (HiL) testing of control units and operator training using virtual machines.

The key objective of this research is to develop a generic simulation modelling methodology that can be used to model stochastic continuous systems effectively. The generic methodology renders simulation models that exhibit the following characteristics: short development and maintenance times, user-friendliness, short simulation runtimes, compact size, robustness, accuracy and a single software application. The research was initiated by the shortcomings of a simulation modelling method that is detailed in a Magister dissertation. A system description of a continuous process plant (referred to as the Synthetic Fuel plant) is developed. The decision support role of simulation modelling is considered and the shortcomings of the original method are analysed. The key objective, importance and limitations of the research are also discussed. The characteristics of stochastic continuous systems are identified and a generic methodology that accommodates these characteristics is conceptualised and developed. It consists of the following eight methods and techniques: the variables technique, the iteration time interval evaluation method, the event-driven evaluation method, the Entity-represent-module method, the Fraction-comparison method, the iterative-loop technique, the time “bottleneck” identification technique and the production lost “bottleneck” identification technique. Five high-level simulation model building blocks are developed. The generic methodology is demonstrated and validated by the development and use of two simulation models. The five high-level building blocks are used to construct identical simulation models of the Synthetic Fuel plant in two different simulation software packages, namely: Arena and Simul8. An iteration time interval and minimum sufficient sample sizes are determined and the simulation models are verified, validated, enhanced and compared. The simulation models are used to evaluate two alternative scenarios. The results of the scenarios are compared and conclusions are presented. The factors that motivated the research, the process that was followed and the generic methodology are summarised. The original method and the generic methodology are compared and the strengths and weaknesses of the generic methodology are discussed. The contribution to knowledge is explained and future developments are proposed. The possible range of application and different usage perspectives are presented. To conclude, the lessons learnt and reinforced are considered. / Thesis (PhD (Industrial Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2004. / Industrial and Systems Engineering / unrestricted

Der stetig steigende Flugverkehr führt zu Kapazitätsengpässen an vielen Großflughäfen. Die Möglichkeit des Ausbaus ist häufig aufgrund von Arealmangel und Widerstand aus der Bevölkerung (zumeist durch Umweltgesichtspunkte motiviert) nicht realisierbar. Ein Ausweg bietet hier die Kooperation mehrerer Flughäfen. So kann ein in der Nähe eines Großflughafens angesiedelter Regionalflughafen als zusätzliche Runwaygenutzt werden. Ausschlaggebend hierbei sind die landseitigen Anbindungen beider Flughäfen. Beide müssen zusammen annähernd wie ein Flughafen operieren. Der Optimierung dieses Systems kooperierender Flughäfen widmet sich die vorliegende Arbeit. Es werden zwei Szenarien näher untersucht und bewertet: Konventionelle S-Bahn-Verbindung unter Ausnutzung der vorhandenen Infrastruktur und mit einem fixen Fahrplan (traditioneller Betrieb) Verbindung unter Nutzung einer vollautomatischen Bahn mit bedarfsabhängiger Anpassung der Taktrate Die Modellierung erfolgt hierbei durch eine makroskopische Simulation auf der Basis des SYSTEM DYNAMICS Zugangs nach Forrester. Dieser zeichnet sich besonders durch seine prozessnahe Darstellung aus. In dieser Arbeit wird die Anwendbarkeit von SYSTEM DYNAMICS auf die Modellierung von Passagierströmen an Verkehrsknoten nachgewiesen, die Passagierverzögerung bei der Verknüpfung von Flughäfen ermittelt und der Ressourcenverbrauch, d.h. der Bedarf an Betriebsmitteln für die Verbindung bestimmt. / Steadily increasing air traffic leads to capacity problems at many major airports. In most cases it is not possible to enlarge the airport due to lack of area or resistance of the population (mainly motivated by environmental aspects). One way out is the cooperation of airports. It can be possible to use a smaller airport in the vicinity of a major airport as an additional runway. In this case the land-side connections between both airports are very important. The two airports have to operate like one big airport. This work deals with the optimization of the system of cooperating airports. Two scenarios are analyzed and rated in more detail: Conventional railway connection with utilization of existing infrastructure and with a fixed time table (traditional operational regime) Connection with an automated people mover with demand control schedule For macroscopic modeling the SYSTEM DYNAMICS approach by Forrester is used. The main feature is a very good real world representation. This work shows the applicability of SYSTEM DYNAMICS for modeling passenger flows at traffic junctions, calculates the passenger delay, which occurs between connected airports and specifies the consumption of resources, i.e. equipment necessary for the connection.

Die zentralen Fragestellungen der Arbeit sind, wie die Insolvenzwahrscheinlichkeiten von Unternehmen prognostiziert und wie sie durch zielgerichtetes Handeln beeinflusst werden können. Hierzu gibt der Autor zunächst einen ausführlichen Überblick über die derzeit in Wissenschaft und Praxis verwendeten Ansätze zur Prognose von Unternehmensinsolvenzen, Schätzgütemaßen von Insolvenzprognosen sowie Datenquellen, die für die Prognose von Unternehmensinsolvenzen zur Verfügung stehen. Anschließend entwickelt er ein kausales Unternehmensmodell, das er mit stochastischen Simulationsverfahren analysiert. Das Modell wird validiert und mit Benchmarkverfahren verglichen. Abschließend zeigt der Autor, wie das Modell zur Ableitung von Handlungsempfehlungen zur Beeinflussung der individuellen Insolvenzwahrscheinlichkeit von Unternehmen herangezogen werden kann.
