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.

Photo-active liquid crystalline materials: effect of lateral substitution far from the chiral center
Mironov, Sergei; Suchánek, T.; Marhoul, J.; Cigl, Martin; Hamplová, Věra; Bubnov, Alexej
2023 - English
Photosensitive liquid crystalline (LC) materials give a fascinating possibility to tune and control the optical properties of soft systems distantly by illumination by UV-Vis light. Lateral substitution on the molecular core is an effective tool to tune the behaviour of chiral LCs. The effect of lateral substitution (by F, Cl, Br and methyl group) on the self-assembling behaviour, several new LCs with substituents placed on the benzene ring far from the chiral centre are and studied. All compounds, with exception of Br-substituted one, possess the cholesteric phase. The photosensitive behaviour, in particular the conversion of the E-Z isomers, was studied in toluene solution by HPLC. The kinetics of the photo-isomerization was identified under illumination by UV light. Due to presence of a photo-active azo group these materials can be used as functional dopants for design of smart photo-active liquid crystalline mixtures targeted for various applications in optoelectronics.

Surface acoustic wave microfluidic chip for rapid cell sorting
Vejrosta, Jakub; Maňka, Tadeáš; Plichta, Tomáš; Šerý, Mojmír
2023 - English
This work revolves around microfluidics and micro-objects manipulation in general. In our device, we are producing surface acoustic wave (SAW). The SAW can be used to sort particles by their size or physical properties and separate them. In medical analysis SAW on microfluidic chip can be used to pre-sorting of body fluids or blood serum for further optical or chemical analysis. The wave is produced by pair of interdigital transducers (IDTs), which are situated on opposite sides of microfluidic channel. As our active material we have used lithium niobate crystalline material for its great piezoelectric properties. This work is also the precursor for measuring the rheological properties of a medium, such as micro-viscosity, via the measurement of the trajectory of a flow trace.

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

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.

Vibration mode shape extraction of bladed disk
Mekhalfia, Mohammed Lamine; Procházka, Pavel; Tchawou Tchuisseu, Eder Batista; Maturkanič, Dušan; Hodboď, Robert
2022 - English
This research paper deals with the experimental protocol followed to visualize the vibration mode shape of an aero-engine bladed disk. This study is based on a comparison between the numerical results obtained through Finite element methods (FEM) using ANSYS software and experimentally using the laser Doppler vibrometer. Therefore the bladed disk was transformed into a 3D virtual environment and structural analysis was performed. The results demonstrate a match between the numerical and the experimental one, this match offers the possibility for using the model for future studies.

Turbine blade linkages in reduced modal synthesis model
Pešek, Luděk; Šnábl, Pavel
2022 - English
The paper is the first stage of our modelling turbine blade linkages in reduced modal synthesis model. The modal synthesis method is used for the dynamic behaviour studies of turbine bladed wheels with frictional inter-blade linkages and in case of the microslips the stiffening effect of the linkages play an important role in wheel dynamics. The paper presents the first results of modal analysis of the wheel when springs were used to substitute the linkages in the modal synthesis model.
