A short study on self-balancing of vertical rotors mounted in passive contactless bearings
Zapoměl, Jaroslav; Kozánek, Jan
2023 - English
Energy losses and wear of the support elements of high-speed rotors can be reduced by mounting the rotors in stable passive contactless bearings, the operation of which is based on magnetic levitation. The goal of the conducted research was to investigate applicability of selfbalancing device added to vertical rotors supported by bearings showing low stiffness and damping, which is a specific property of passive magnetic bearings. This paper deals with applicability and efficiency of self-balancing devices added to vertical rotors supported by bearings having very low stiffness and damping, which corresponds to the properties of magnetic frictionless bearings.

Dynamic tensile experiments of hard rubber on instron test machine under finite deformations
Šulc, Petr; Pešek, Luděk; Bula, Vítězslav; Šnábl, Pavel
2023 - English
This paper deals with the first experimental tests of hard rubbers under tensile harmonic loading on the axial-torsional servohydraulic Instron 8852 test machine. The objective of these experiments on cylindrical rubber specimens on this machine is to obtain stress-strain curves of rubber specimens, first considering uniaxial finite longitudinal strains for a single load cycle. Next, the hysteresis loops and their skeleton curves are compared for two selected strain measures as a function of their conjugate stress. It is shown how to obtain the dependence between elongation in the axial direction and constriction in the radial direction, which is used to determine the Cauchy stress in this configuration.

Experimental and numerical investigation of the frequency-modal properties of the switch box
Zolotarev, Igor; Pešek, Luděk; Bula, Vítězslav; Šnábl, Pavel; Gabriel, Dušan; Mračko, Michal; Masák, Jan
2023 - English
The research is linked to increase of seismic resistivity of data board switch boxes. Therefore we deal with numerical modelling of the box for finding the hot spots and designing appropriate modifications. This paper deals with numerical and experimental frequency-modal properties of the switch box and mutual comparison for numerical model validation.

Modelling of pulse-triggered running waves on a blade cascade
Šnábl, Pavel; Pešek, Luděk
2023 - English
An experimental cascade of five NACA 0010 blades with pitch degrees of freedom is excited by a moment pulse to one of the blades. Depending on the flow conditions, such as wind speed and the angle of attack of the wind on the blades, the vibration of the excited blade is transmitted by the wind to the other blades. This can result in a running wave that diminishes over time or in a flutter running wave. A simplified spring-mass-damper model with inter-blade connections and non-linear van der Pol dampers is tuned to match experimentally obtained stability curves and tested to see if it can qualitatively model the response of the cascade to the pulse excitation.\n

The influence of first CNN layer initialization on training convergence
Krejsa, Jiří; Věchet, Stanislav; Chen, K.S.
2023 - English
During evaluation of convolution neural networks on the task of sign language single hand alphabet classification we have discovered that in small but not negligible number of cases the training of the network does not converge at all. This paper investigates the problem that we believe is independent of the application. While the true cause of training divergence was not discovered, we can offer the reader an easy solution from practical point of view – initialization of the first CNN layer using pretrained networks parameters.

Post-processing the results of the topology optimization with the level set technique
Ježek, Ondřej; Kopačka, Ján; Gabriel, Dušan
2023 - English
Topology optimization (TO) has come to the fore with the development of 3D printing. The most commonly used method is SIMP, a density-based approach, which outputs a per-element constant density field and thus requires post-processing to obtain the shape. Conventional post-processing methods extract optimized topologies in the form of brep models. It yields only C0 continuous geometries, which are usually not suitable for downstream applications such as prototyping, design validation, and design exploration. In this paper, we present a new post-processing method based on the level set principle that overcomes common post-processing issues, such as the lack of smoothness.

Mobile Robot in the Elevator: What Floor Am i On?
Krejsa, Jiří; Věchet, Stanislav; Chen, K.S.; Havelka, M.; Černil, M.
2022 - English
Wheeled mobile robots in multiple stories buildings have to use elevator to access arbitrary floor of the building. To do so, the control system must be able to detect and access elevator controls and also determine on which floor the elevator stopped. The paper deals with the latter problem, using the fusion of relative floor change detected by onboard accelerometer and absolute floor number detected by the processing of elevator information screen panel image acquired by onboard camera. Bayesian filter is used for data fusion and convolution neural network for image processing. Field tests resulted in 97% correct detection.
