This work describes the numerical solution of the mathematical model of the Shallow Water Equations. As the source terms the bed slope source term and the bed friction term are included. At the beginning the mathematical model and the boundary conditions are described. Mathematical...

The Doctoral thesis deals with problems of fatigue assessment of nuclear reactor components, namely with fatigue assessment of reactor pressure vessel material as well as reactor internals and upper block of WWER 1000. Main goal is the description, interpretation and numerical formulation&#x...

This dissertation thesis is aimed at the problem of impact force localization and reconstruction on composite structure reinforced by continuous fibers. Polymer composites are currently applied in important structures like primary structure of airliners. There are many failure mechanisms of compo...

Presented thesis work is focused on musculoskeletal modeling, especially on muscle forces and moment arms calculation using the new method for muscle path determination. This method is based on obstacle-set method. However, the new torus obstacles are implemented instead of standard obstacle...

The Ph.D. thesis is aimed at the numerical modelling of compressible inviscid and viscous fluid flows. The spatial discretisation of the governing equations is carried out using the modern discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. The application of this method is performed for the&...

Hemodynamics with its ability to trigger pathological changes in blood vessels plays an important role in the patency and overall performance of implanted arterial bypass grafts. Based on this knowledge, the Ph.D. thesis is aimed at mathematical modelling of blood flow in idealised ...

The thesis focuses on dynamic behavior of bladed disks of axial turbomachinery. The first section is dealing with axisymmetric structure in order to understand behavior of rotational periodic structures since they exhibit very similar properties. Equation of motion for simple 1D continuum&#x...

The dissertation deals with progressive damage of long-fibre composite material focusing on the formation of transverse matrix cracks both from the experimental point of view and in terms of computational prediction of transverse matrix cracking, its density and the impact on the global...

The main propose of our work is the implementation of a Motorcyclist Biomechanical Model. Being the PTW a vehicle that fits in the fragile group of road user, their involvement in road collisions is a systemic problem in our days. The several ways to model&#x...

The main aim was to create methodology for design of pin joints composite-metal with regards to load capacity. Currently, the number of products that utilize composite materials is rapidly increasing. Usually, the whole structure is not replaced with composite materials, but only a ...

The aim of this thesis is to propose a methodology that is able to identify a damage on a composite structure using change of spectral characteristics. Use of such methodology may reveal damage of the structure without a need of visual inspection. Removal of inspection re...
