Ceramic protection of anti-corrosion layers of 3-glycidyloxypropyl-triethoxysilane on steel
Pokorný, P.; Prodanović, N.; Janata, Marek; Brožek, Vlastimil
2023 - English
There are various variations on the problem of steel reinforcement bond strength in concrete. Along with geometrical considerations, corrosion performance of steels with varying chemical compositions in interaction with variable chemical compositions of concrete are crucial. One approach is to cover steel surfaces with organosilane compounds, which increases the reinforcement resistance to corrosion in both acidic and alkaline conditions but, on the other hand, may weaken the reinforcement bond strength on concrete. The issue is resolved by intentionally forming a thin-walled, highly adhering corundum layer that is highly porous and impregnated with 3-glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane. This procedure also includes testing the adhesion properties between the ceramic and the metal and the cement prior to conducting a corrosion test in a chloride environment.

Room temperature ethanol detection using carbon materials
Kočí, Michal
2023 - English
Allotropic forms of carbon, in particular graphene oxide (GO) or nanocrystalline diamond (NCD), attracted the attention of many research groups due to their unique electronic structures and extraordinary physical and chemical properties, preferable for many different applications, including sensor devices. This work focuses on responses of various sensing layers (NCD with hydrogen termination (H-NCD), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), thiol-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-SH) and their hybrid structures to ethanol vapor with concentrations up to 100 ppm in synthetic air at room temperature. The measured parameters of the tested sensors, especially stability, reproducibility and regeneration, are compared and critically evaluated. The high sensitivity of tested sensors achieved at room temperature makes them very promising for monitoring ethanol vapor as well as other volatile substances (e.g., isopropyl-alcohol or acetone).

Adaptation of methods for cyclo-stationary processes for noisy structural health data
Fischer, Cyril; Bayer, Jan; Náprstek, Jiří; Urushadze, Shota
2023 - English
In structural health analysis, various techniques, including indirect measurement via monitoring vehicles, often yield data with significant randomness and insufficient frequency separation. Conversely, the desired attributes under scrutiny are periodic in nature. Thus, methodologies designed to identify cyclo-stationary properties within noisy data can be adapted for such scenarios, assuming an adequate length of the recorded data.

Consistency of mathematical and experimental model of the autoparametric system
Fischer, Cyril; Náprstek, Jiří
2023 - English
This paper presents a long-overdue comparison of data obtained from experimental investigation of a spherical vibration absorber with the results of two mathematical models of the motion of a heavy sphere in a spherical surface. It shows that the danger posed by the potentially unstable self-parametric nature of the mathematical system is not too great in the case of realistic configurations, and that the values of the parameters describing the realistic structures remain within intervals corresponding to the stable behaviour of the absorber.

Laserová ablace atomů vápníku a hliníku jako zdroj částic pro iontovou past
Grim, Jakub; Pekař, Zdeněk; Pham, Minh Tuan; Číp, Ondřej
2023 - Czech
Laserová ablace je účinnou metodou pro generování částic z různých materiálů, včetně těch s vysokou teplotou vypařování, jako je hliník. Využití vysokoenergetických laserových pulsů umožňuje kontrolované odpaření materiálu a vytvoření ablačního kráteru. V pilotní sestavě pro generování neutrálních atomů vápníku a hliníku pomocí laserové ablace byly dosaženy úspěšné výsledky. Metoda je porovnávána s tepelnou píckou s cílem optimalizovat proces generování těchto částic. Následná spektroskopická měření na generovaných atomech jsou prováděna s cílem optimalizace absorpce a emise fotonů pro následnou ionizaci v iontové pasti. Studie přechodů neutrálních atomů Ca a Al ukazuje, že laserová ablace poskytuje efektivnější generaci atomů s možností větší kontroly nad tímto procesem. Laser ablation is an effective method for generating particles from a variety of materials, including those with high evaporation temperatures such as aluminum. The use of high-energy laser pulses enables controlled evaporation of the material and the creation of an ablation crater. Successful results have been obtained in a pilot setup for the generation of neutral calcium and aluminium atoms by laser ablation. The method is being compared with thermal resistance oven in order to optimize the prosec generation of these particles. Subsequent spectroscopic measurements on the generated atoms are performed to optimize the absorption and emission of photons for subsequent ionization in the ion trap. A study of the transitions of neutral Ca and Al atoms shows that laser ablation provides a more efficient generation of atoms with the possibility of greater control over the process.

Fiala, L.; Ballo, I.; Kovář, J.; Fuis, Vladimír
2023 - English
Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to study the difference between using Berkovich and conical indenters in nanoindentation test of tungsten specimen. The study was aimed to determine the\nmodulus of elasticity of a tested specimen and how it changes with different indenter. The FEM analysis also revealed that the modulus of elasticity was sensitive to the dimensions of both specimen and the indenter for which were made several numerical calculations with different dimensions.

2023 - Czech
Práce se zabývá studiem Ramanových spekter sekundárních metabolitů bakterií rodu Streptomyces, zejména polyenních antifungálních látek. Purifikované izoláty a komerční standardy těchto sloučenin byly využity k pořízení referenčních spekter, ze kterých byly odvozeny spektrální markery charakterizující konkrétní detaily chemické struktury. Verifikace pozorovaných markerů byla provedena pomocí predikcí Ramanových spekter in silico. Následně byly tyto poznatky využity ke spektroskopické charakterizaci složení sekundárních metabolitů in vivo, přímo v bakteriích rostoucích na pevném médiu. Vypracované metodiky pomohou optimalizovat podmínky pro biotechnologickou produkci antibiotik. The work deals with the study of Raman spectra of secondary metabolites of bacteria of the genus Streptomyces, especially polyene antifungal agents. Purified isolates and commercial standards of these compounds were used to obtain reference spectra from which spectral markers characterizing specific details of the chemical structure were derived. Verification of the observed markers was performed using in silico Raman spectra predictions. Subsequently, these findings were used for the spectroscopic characterization of the composition of secondary metabolites in vivo, directly in bacteria growing on a solid medium. The developed methodologies will help to optimize the conditions for the biotechnological production of antibiotics.

Mechanical properties of basalt: a study on compressive loading at different strain rates using SHPB
Falta, J.; Krčmářová, N.; Fíla, T.; Vavro, Martin; Vavro, Leona
2023 - English
This article focuses on the mechanical properties of basalt in compressive loading at different strain-rates. The study employs advanced instrumentation for the evaluation of the results in dynamic conditions, while standard uni-axial loading device is used for evaluation in quasi-static conditions. Basalt specimens were subjected to four different loading-rates from 200–600 s−1 on which the stress-strain dependence was evaluated together with DIC analysis of crack initiation and disintegration process. Understanding the mechanical properties of basalt can provide insights for engineers and designers in creating structures that are durable and able to withstand different loading conditions. The findings of this study can have implications for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and construction, among others.

Asynchronous time integration while achieving zero interface energy
Dvořák, Radim; Kolman, Radek; Falta, J.; Neühauserová, M.
2023 - English
This contribution deals with an asynchronous direct time integration of the finite-element model. The proposed method is applied to the phenomenon of wave propagation through an elastic linear continuum. The numerical model is partitioned into individual subdomains using the domain decomposition method by means of localized Lagrange multipliers. For each subdomain, different time discretizations are used. No restrictions for relation between subdomain’s time steps are imposed. The coupling of the subdomains is forced by an acceleration continuity condition. Additionally, we use the a posteriori technique to also provide the displacement and velocity continuity at the interfaces, and hence we obtain exact continuity of all three kinematic fields. The proposed method is experimentally validated using the modified SHPB (split Hopkinson pressure bar) setup.
