Osnova předmětu

1) Dynamics of belt conveyor systems - the principle of replacing the elastic tension element by a system of springs, extending the tension element in the processes of acceleration, steady running and braking, the theory of longitudinal and transverse oscillation of the tensile element and the method of elimination of its own oscillations, theory of partial drives
2) Chain transport systems - stiffness of chain systems, chain oscillation, solution of polygon effect, determination of chain transport speed limit with respect to chain system life
3) Rope transport systems - Euler theory of fiber friction, solution of safe prestressing of rope systems, elimination of rope slippage in traction sheaves during start-up and braking, influence of inner structure of rope structure on its extension and bending stiffness
4) Transport systems without a tensile element - mechanics of movement of particulate matter in vertical snails, the effect of coefficients of friction on the performance of screw conveyors, degradation processes in vibration transport, theory of own vibrations in vibration transport, elimination of undesirable vibrations of vibration conveyors on machine structures, possibility of time change of weight unbalances to optimize the excitation force, verify the technological parameter of vibration transport
5) Pipeline transport systems - experimental determination of parameters of pneumatic and hydraulic transport, influence of flow type on transport function, theory of separation of particulate matter from entrainment medium, influence of shape of particulate matter and transport piping on loss resistances
6) Special transport systems - multifunctional transport systems, intelligent transport systems
