The use of composite materials in several sectors, such as aeronautics and automotive, has been gaining distinction in recent years. However, due to their high costs, as well as unique characteristics, consequences of their heterogeneity, they present challenging gaps to be studied. As a result, the finite element method has been used as a way to a...

This study aimed to explore how the type and visual modality of a recommendation agent's identity affect male university students' (1) self-reported responses to agent-recommended symbolic brand in evaluating the naturalness of virtual agents, human, or artificial intelligence (AI) and (2) early event-related potential (ERP) responses between text-...
Determining the geometric characteristics of even complex cross-sections of steel beams is not a major challenge nowadays. The problem arises when openings of various shapes and sizes appear at more or less regular intervals along the length of the beam. Such alternations cause the beam to have different stiffnesses along its length. It has differe...

The main idea behind “Quilted Stratum Process” (QSP®) is to create a flat blank made of unidirectional/woven thermoplastic prepreg patches instead of using uniformly shaped prepreg stack as is the case with standard thermostamping process. Thus, using QSP®; one can manufacture components with complex geometries by using nearly rectangular patches w...
Porucha ocelových spojů může mít za následek zřícení celé budovy při zvýšených teplotách v důsledku jejich vlivu na rozložení vnitřních sil a celkovou deformaci. Odolnost ocelových spojů při zvýšených teplotách by proto měla být přesně předpovídána, aby bylo možné porozumět chování při požáru konstrukce. Při požáru dochází k výraznému snížení tuhos...
