The material model presented in this paper describes elasto-plastic behaviour of the material under a cyclic load application. The material constitutive model for description of low-cycle fatigue behaviour is highly non-linear and therefore its parameter identification requires complex numerical procedure, such as genetic algorithm (GA). Because of its complexity, the unique genetic operators routines in GA calculation procedure are developed to make possible fast and reliable convergence to the results.

The control of the left hepatic vein (LHV) and the common trunk of the LHV and the middle hepatic vein (CT) is considered difficult during liver resections and could be facilitated by detailed knowledge of the ligamentum venosum Arantii (LV). The aim of the study was to describe the LV and its relations to the LHV and the CT. The results showed that LV dissection facilitated and enabled the extraparenchymatous control of the hepatic veins: the extrahepatic parts of the LHV and CT measured more then 3 mm in 86% and 84% of the cases, respectively.

The design process of a first prototype rotary magnetic refrigerator (MR) built at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is presented. MR principle of operation is based on the rotary movement of active magnetic regenerators (AMRs) with Gadolinium and on the stationary permanent (NdFeB) magnetic field. After a description of the basics of magnetic refrigeration the development and analysis of the magnetic structure and the basic operational principle are described. The second part provides a description of the development process for certain key elements of the complete MR system.

This paper describes an elasto-plastic rate-independent constitutive model for observing the cyclic plasticity behaviour with special reference to the yield-point phenomenon. The effects of cyclic plasticity are described with constitutive equations of kinematic and cyclic hardening or softening. The model is included in the finite element code the use of which helps to simulate the contribution of the model to the development of the stress-strainstate in a real structure.

The paper presents the techniques of the ultrasound scan of the abdominal cavity. It describes tehnical characteristics of the ultrasound scanner and various probes. The chapter on the ultrasound scan of individual areas of the abdominal cavity due to patological procedures or injuries provides a description of various scan procedures by emphasizing their advantages and disadvantages. Due to its simplicity, transparency and chances of repetition, an ultrasound scan is one of key soft tissue methods during clinical examination of a patient.
