Za účelem studia mikroklimatických poměrů proběhl v období od srpna 2020 do května 2023 monitoring vybraných archeologických terénů Pražského hradu. V daném časovém rozsahu bylo sledováno vnitřní klima areálu pod III. nádvořím Pražského hradu, tzv. Velkých vykopávek. Během monitorovací kampaně byly v různých časových obdobích umístěny senzory i do prostoru Malých vykopávek a archeologického terénu kláštera sv. Jiří. Monitorována byla především relativní vlhkost vzduchu, teplota vzduchu i materiálů, vlhkost stavebních materiálů atd., také byly odebrány a analyzovány vzorky stavebních materiálů a monitorován výskyt biologických činitelů. Výzkum se detailně zaměřil na popis teploty a relativní vlhkosti vnitřního prostředí ve vztahu k vlhkosti materiálů a jejich potenciálním degradačním činitelům. Ty zde primárně reprezentují vodorozpustné soli. Jejich nebezpečnost z hlediska poškození historických materiálů je ovlivněna kolísáním relativní vlhkosti a odpařováním vody z kapilárních pórů v kombinaci s teplotou. Výzkum ukázal, že nejzásadnějším problémem je pro areály zatékání, popř. průsak vody skrz terén, okolní konstrukce nebo strop. In order to study microclimatic conditions, monitoring of selected archaeological terrains of Prague Castle was carried out in the period from August 2020 to May 2023. The internal climate of the area under the third courtyard of Prague Castle, also called Great Excavations, was monitored in the given time range. During the monitoring campaign, sensors were also placed in the area of the Small Excavations and the archaeological terrain of St. George's Monastery at various times. In particular, relative humidity, air and materials temperatures, moisture content of building materials, etc. were monitored. Samples of building materials were also taken and analysed, and the presence of biological degradation agents was monitored. The research focused in detail on describing the temperature and relative humidity of the indoor environment in relation to the moisture content of the materials and their potential degradation agents. These are primarily represented here by water-soluble salts. Their hazardousness in terms of damage to historic materials is influenced by variations in relative humidity and evaporation of water from capillary pores in combination with temperature. Research has shown that the most significant problem for sites is flooding or water seepage through the ground, surrounding structures or ceiling.

Frankeová, Dita; Slížková, Zuzana; Náhunková, Pavla
2023 - Czech
TG analýzou byl zjištěn podíl organické hmoty (asfaltu) na celkové hmotě materiálu ve výši 14 % hm. a obsah uhličitanu vápenatého v materiálu v množství 53 % hm. Uhličitan vápenatý je pravděpodobně přítomen ve formě vápencového prášku, jako jemného plniva. Hrubou frakci kameniva představují kamenná zrna o velikosti 2-10 mm (33 % hm.). TG analysis revealed a proportion of organic matter (asphalt) in the total mass of the material in the amount of 14% by weight and the content of calcium carbonate in the material in the amount of 53% wt. Calcium carbonate is probably in the form of limestone powder as a fine filler. The coarse fraction of the aggregate is represented by stone grains of size 2-10 mm (33% by weight).

Damage detection study for a pedestrian cable-stayed bridge using ANSYS
Bayer, Jan; Kawulok, Marek; Urushadze, Shota
2023 - English
In connection to development of new testing techniques for bridges at ITAM, a theoretical damage detection case study was performed for a cable stayed bridge over the Vltava River at Lužec. The results recognise the most susceptible loading modes which should be identified exactly during the in-situ measurements.

Effect of the long-term storage methods on the stability of cartilage biomechanical parameters
Žaloudková, Blanka; Sekorová, Š.; Kopecká, B.; Kytýř, Daniel
2023 - English
Long-term stability of the tissue product in terms of mechanical parameters is a key factor for its expiration date. For the investigation of storage effects on the cartilage tissues the experimental mechanical loading test combined with XCT scanning for the irregular shape inspection was performed. The samples were preserved according to three different protocols using the deep-freezing and two types of saline solution preservation. The stability of the biomechanical parameters was tested within annual intervals. All samples were subjected to uni-axial compression loading using the in-house developed compact table top loading device in displacement-driven mode. Based on the measurements, the results are represented in the form of stress-strain curves and quantified as elastic modulus and ultimate compression stress. It can be concluded that no significant difference was found in neither the mechanical properties of the samples nor in the effects of each preservational method.

The effect of the backfill on the integrity of a buried pipeline upon heavy-duty vehicle crossings
Gajdoš, Lubomír; Šperl, Martin; Slížková, Zuzana; Drdlová, M.
2023 - English
The aim of this work was to determine stresses in the wall of a buried empty gas pipeline caused by the weight of backfill as well as by heavy-duty vehicles crossing the pipeline, and, on their basis to assess the applicability of protective sleeves. A buried pipeline with zero internal pressure of transported medium (empty pipeline) differs from an unburied pipeline by the vertical load due to the weight of the backfill which causes an ovalness of the circular cross section of the pipeline. This leads to the rise of through-wall bending stresses with the tensile stress at the outside surface at the 3 and 9 o´clock positions and compressive stress at the inside surface. At the 6 and 12 o´clock positions the stresses are tensile at the inside surface and compressive at the outside surface. The current depth of soil cover above gas pipelines is 0.5 m. For pipes DN500, t ~ 6.5 mm the through-wall bending stress is found to be σb ≈ ±10 MPa. In comparison with the yield stress of pipeline material, this stress is negligible. The situation is changed when heavy-duty vehicles cross the pipeline. For example, when a MAN truck with the mass load 3270 kg acting on a single wheel of the front axle crosses this pipeline, the pressure transmitted to the pipe will cause the through-wall bending stress σb ≈ ±76 MPa. This stress is superimposed to that of the backfill to give the total value ±86 MPa. When dead loads, imposed by backfill cover, together with live loads, caused by truck-wheel loads, are excessive a crushing of side walls of the pipeline and/or ring buckling of the pipe cross section can happen.

Experimental evaluation of aluminothermic welds
Zeman, L.; Valach, J.; Zlámal, P.; Krčmářová, N.; Koudelková, Veronika; Zeman, J.
2023 - English
The article presents a study of the mechanical processes occurring during the aluminother-mic reaction using experimental methods (strain gauges, digital image correlation, thermography,scanning electron microscopy, profilometry). The aluminothermic reaction is a highly efficient weldingmethod due to its exothermic behaviour, however, it places considerable demands not only on thewelding technique, but also on the capabilities of the experimental methods used - these limitationsare also discussed in the article. The aluminothermic reaction is associated with the formation of alocalised heat source with a time evolution dictated by the technological procedure, which manifestsitself in heat propagation to the surrounding weld material. The unequal evolution of the temperaturefield is the fundamental cause of the appearance of the heat affected zone or local deformations orsurface curvature, which was the focus of the experimental methods deployed above and the results ofwhich are shown in the article.

Analyzing stochastic stability of a gyroscope through the stochastic Lyapunov function
Náprstek, Jiří; Fischer, Cyril
2023 - English
The text delves into the application of first integrals in the construction of Lyapunov functions for analyzing the stability of dynamic systems in stochastic domains. It emphasizes the distinct characteristics of first integrals that warrant the introduction of additional constraints to ensure the essential properties required for a Lyapunov function. These constraints possess physical interpretations associated with system stability. The general approach to testing stochastic stability is illustrated using the example of a 3-degrees-of-freedom system representing a gyroscope.
