Geotourism within urban areas: New ways of promotion of natural and cultural heritage (Case study from Brno City).
Kubalíková, Lucie; Bajer, A.
2018 - English
Geotourism is based especially on geodiversity, but it also uses the cultural-historical aspects of an area, it is linked to the education and counts with active engagement of local people. Currently, geotourism is developed mainly within rural areas, but there are activities that point on the geodiversity and its importance within urban areas. Rational and sustainable use of geodiversity within urban areas can represent an alternative to the traditional tourist destinations and contributes to the understanding of the importance and necessity of protection of geodiversity itself. Geodiversity, respectively geoheritage within urban areas does not include only issues of primary (natural) geodiversity (substrate, Iandforms, soils), but also anthropogenic landforms and processes (secondary geodiversity), hydrological features (wells, millraces) and geodiversity ex-situ (museum collections, building material). The paper presents this new form of tourism and gives examples of selected geodiversity/geoheritage features within the Brno city. Keywords: geodiversity; geoheritage; urban geotourism; Brno Fulltext is available at external website.

The pre-industrial landscape as a cultural heritage: Malá Haná
Kolejka, Jaromír
2018 - English
The parts of the territory with a preserved secondary (economic) landscape structure, originated around the middle of the 19th century, may be considered as existing segments of the pre-industrial landscape. Such territory has retained a similar character of plot distribution and land use of that time. These segments have been pre-identified in the contemporary cultural landscape according to the recent colour orthophotomap. The existence of that cultural heritage has been confirmed or excluded by comparison with the maps of the 2nd military survey and indicating sketches of the cadastral survey from the 1st half of the 19th century. The records were systematically carried out according to the cadastral units of the so-called working regions of Moravia. The segments of the pre-industrial landscape identified in laboratory research then underwent a field research, followed by the determination of their properties and the assessment of the state and the threats. Keywords: survey; inventory; Czech Republic Available at various institutes of the ASCR

Assessment of anthropogenic landforms for the geotourism purposes (case study: Velké Opatovice fortification site, Archdiocese of Olomouc, Czech Republic)
Kirchner, Karel; Kubalíková, Lucie; Machar, I.
2018 - English
The human impact on the relief is often very devastating: natural landforms are modified, damaged or destroyed and the intensity of human-induced processes even surpasses the natural ones. However, people also create new landforms which are interesting from geoconservation, educational, cultural and historical points of view. Thanks to these aspects, they also have a potential for geotourism, geoeducation and recreation. For the assessment of anthropogenic landforms (respectively anthropogenic geosites and geomorphosites), a method based on the concept of geomorphosties and taking into account the holistic approach to geotourism, is proposed. The article presents an example of anthropogenic landforms on geo-cultural site Velke Opatovice fortification site situated in the western part of the Archdiocese of Olomouc. Based on the detailed fieldwork, the inventory of landforms and other features, the assessment and some proposals for geotourist use of the site are presented. Keywords: geo(morpho)sites; cultural heritage; Archdiocese of Olomouc Available in a digital repository NRGL

Properties and characteristics of recycled garnet abrasives for AWJ
Martinec, Petr; Hlaváček, Petr; Ruppenthalová, Lucie; Sitek, Libor
2017 - English
The use of recycled garnet abrasive from sludge after cutting materials is a current\nproblem. The behavior of individual garnet abrasives in the AWJ process depends\non the geological origin of the garnets, which also affects all the material\ncharacteristics of the garnet recyclate. The parameters of the BARTON HPX80 and\nGMA 80 abrasive inputs and their recycled products were compared: mineralogical\ntype, apparent density, granularity, grain shape and mineralogical purity,\nmicrohardness data and the degree of damage to the garnet grains. All individual\nparameters of abrasives and their recyclates are reflected in the index of cutting\nefficiency of abrasive. The effect of abrasive material properties on cuttability of\nabrasives is synergistic. The new parameters in the evaluation of abrasives are\nmicro-hardness (brittleness criterion), specific surface and pore size distribution\n(internal grain damage criterion).

Implicit constitutive solution scheme for Mohr-Coulomb plasticity
Sysala, Stanislav; Čermák, M.
2017 - English
This contribution summarizes an implicit constitutive solution\nscheme of the elastoplastic problem containing the Mohr-Coulomb yield cri-\nterion, a nonassociative \now rule, and a nonlinear isotropic hardening. The\npresented scheme builds upon the subdifferential formulation of the \now rule\nleading to several improvements. Mainly, it is possible to detect a position\nof the unknown stress tensor on the Mohr-Coulomb pyramid without blind\nguesswork. Further, a simplifed construction of the consistent tangent opera-\ntor is introduced. The presented results are important for an efficient solution\nof incremental boundary value elastoplastic problems.

Overlapping domain decomposition preconditioners for elliptic and parabolic problems in primal and mixed form
Blaheta, Radim
2017 - English
In this lecture, we concern the numerical solution of PDE problems and describe overlapping domain decomposition, which provides a tool for the construction of parallelizable Schwarz type iterative solvers and preconditioners. The idea of using overlapping domain decomposition goes back to Schwarz alternating method from 1870, see [1]. The analysis of this alternating iterative method was evolved by great mathematicians, see e.g. S.L. Sobolev (1936), R. Courant and D. Hilbert (1937), S.G. Michlin (1951), M. Práger (1958), I. Babuška (1958), F.E. Browder (1958). The use of overlapping domain decomposition for parallel computations started in the late eighties in the work of M. Dryja and O. Widlund [4], P.L. Lions [5, 6], S. Nepomnyaschikh [7] and others and continue up to the present days. The origin of the alternating Schwarz method is nicely described in [8].

Algebraic preconditioning for Biot-Barenblatt poroelastic systems
Blaheta, Radim; Luber, Tomáš
2017 - English
Poroelastic systems describe fluid flow through porous medium coupled with deformation of the porous matrix. In this paper, the deformation is described by linear elasticity, the fluid flow is modelled as Darcy flow. The main focus is on the Biot-Barenblatt model with double porosity/double permeability flow, which distinguishes flow in two regions considered as continua. The main goal is in proposing block diagonal preconditionings to systems arising from the discretization of the Biot-Barenblatt model by a mixed finite element method in space and implicit Euler method in time and estimating the condition number for such preconditioning. The investigation of preconditioning includes its dependence on material coefficients and parameters of discretization. Keywords: poroelasticity; double permeability; preconditioning; Schur complement Fulltext is available at external website.

Effects of Water Jets on CNTs/concrete composite
Foldyna, Vladimír; Foldyna, Josef
2017 - English
Results of the resistance of carbon nanotubes concrete composite (CNTs/concrete\ncomposite) to the action of pulsating and continuous water jets are presented in\nthis paper. This work brings advanced results of fully hydrated CNTs/concrete\ncomposite (after 28 days) and it follows up the research of this composite\nhydrated 7 days. The experiments were focused at the determination of erosion\neffects of both types of water jets impinging the surface of reference (concrete) and\nCNTs/concrete composite samples. Erosion effects of water jets were evaluated in\nterms of material removal rate. Tests were performed at various operating\nparameters of continuous and pulsating water jets.

Srivastava, M.; Hloch, Sergej; Tripathi, R.; Chattopadhyaya, S.; Dixit, A. R.; Foldyna, Josef; Hvizdoš, P.; Fides, M.; Adamčík, P.
2017 - English
This study focusses on exploring the effect of using Pulsating water jet technology\nas a surface treatment process. The AISI 304 plate samples were subjected to\nthe treatment process using circular nozzle at different levels of pressure and\nstand-off distance combination with variation of traverse speed. For evaluating\nthe effect of peening the surface residual stress was measured using the x-ray\ndiffraction technique. The results showed that the initial tensile residual stresses\non the surface were relieved and converted to compressive residual stress.\nThe present study shows that the new technology can be used as a potential\nsurface treatment method.
