The modal damping ratio analysis of the mechanical part using the OMA method
Sodomka, Tomáš ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Houfek, Lubomír (advisor)
In one of the first hours of study at the Institute of Mechanics of Bodies, Mechatronics and Biomechanics, the author of this work received three basic recommendations regarding measurement: 1) Do not measure! 2) If you measure, do not repeat the measurement!! 3) If you repeat the measurement, do not compare the measurements!!! However, this thesis boldly violates all three recommendations. In the introductory theoretical part, it briefly introduces the vibration of multi-degree of freedom damped systems and describes experimental ways of determining the modal damping. It also summarizes the Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) approach, explains the principle of the FDD method, and introduces EFDD (Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition) method which allows to determine not only natural frequencies and shapes as FDD does, but also modal damping of the shapes. A script in Matlab environment for processing vibrations using EFDD method is one of the thesis outputs. The script is first tested by computational model, where a model system with known damping is tested and damping is determined by the script. Subsequently, the work moves to the actual measurement of the real system - a bonded bar which is analysed by Experimental Modal Analysis and OMA, while the second variant uses commercial EFDD method (Brüel a Kjr company) and programmed script. In the conclusion of the thesis the damping results are compared to each other. The diploma thesis continues in Ing. M. Pop’s thesis – Modal Analysis Experimental Method Verification. From this work a part of measured data is taken. Specific cases of data use are always listed in the appropriate section of the text.

Simulation anlysis of turbocharger vibrations
Valo, Lukáš ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Březina, Lukáš (advisor)
The master thesis deals with computational modeling of a turbocharger vibrations and and assessment of influnce of passive dynamic vibration absorber on vibrations of actuator bracket. The use of dynamic vibration absorber was summarized in the research study. The analysis were performed using finite element method in ANSYS. Several computational models of turbocharger were created with different ways of modeling bolted joints between turbocharger parts. Modal analysis of each model was performed and the results were compared. For the selected model, the response to the kinematic excitation from the internal combustion engine for two load conditions was calculated using harmonic analysis. A simple model of vibration dynamic absorber was applied to the turbocharger model with reduced degrees of freedom and its influnce on vibrations of actuator bracket was investigated. Significant decrease of the maximum acceleration amplitude was achieved in a given frequency range when absorber parameters were optimized.

Determination of the elastic characteristics of highly-porous materials by means of the impulse excitation technique
Kollmann, Marek ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
The bachelor thesis dealt with the application of pulse excitation technique (IET) to determine the elastic characteristics of highly-porous materials. The first part explained the principle of this method together with the arguments for use outside the conditions given by the standard. In the next part, a model of foam structure with open porosity based on Kelvin cell was created in ANSYS software. The influence of porosity and cell size on its elastic characteristics was determined on the model. It was showed to agree with the theory according to Gibson and Ashby. The result of the work was the evaluation of the possibility of using IET to determine these characteristics, these results were then compared with the experimental values. It turned out that the IET provides the correct information about the stiffness of the model.

Creation of Modal Parameter Estimation Application for Experimental Modal Analysis
Ondra, Václav ; Žatko, Miroslav (referee) ; Lošák, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is a creation of modal parameter estimation application. Modal properties (natural frequencies, damping factors and mode shapes) are used in many dynamics analysis and their accurate determination is very important therefore the modal parameter estimation is one of the most significant part of the experimental modal analysis. Many methods have been developed for modal parameter estimation, each of them with different assumptions and with different accuracy. In the beginning of this thesis, a theory connected with modal analysis and a theory which is necessary for understanding to presented modal parameter methods are given. Then four different modal parameter estimation methods are presented - Peak Picking, Circle Fit, Least Square method and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm. The application for the modal parameter estimation is the output of this diploma thesis. In addition, the application allows performing all experimental modal analysis such as estimation of frequency response functions, animation of the found mode shapes, different kinds of comparison etc. In the conclusion, three structures are shown on which the application and modal parameter estimation methods were tested.

Analysis of the turbine housing design in terms of heat leakage
Diakov, Jakub ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the judgment of usability of the topology optimisation of the Ansys Workbench program combined with thermo-mechanical fatigue and the non-linear material model of a turbine housing. The first part of the thesis includes research which serves for the purpose of understanding and for theoretical support of the practical part. The research part of the thesis at first gives reasons for the choice of the main aim of the thesis. The main aim of the thesis is the decrease of heat leak from the exhaust fumes due to the reason of the sooner combustion products processing and lower emissions production. The second chapter of the research analyses the construction and function of a turbocharger from the perspective of the geometry of the components and also from the perspective of the production and use of the components. The following chapter deals with the analysis of the energetic and thermal balance of the turbocharger. This chapter mentions the fundamental simplifications of the calculation problem and these simplifications are applied in the practical example. Next, the chapter analyses the thermo-mechanical fatigue, classification of the areas of fatigue and it also analyses the approaches used for the life expectancy predictions. The chapter of the research part deals with the selected areas of calculation and their theoretical basis. The last chapter analyses the fluid mechanics and the selected methods of the topology optimisation which are available in the selected calculation program. After the research part of the thesis, there follows the practical part which discusses a multiphysical example of the turbine housing optimisation from the perspective of heat leak and of the turbine housing being exposed to the thermo-mechanical fatigue. The practical part which is composed of several steps is based on the CFD analysis and this analysis is used for the purpose of gaining thermal conditions in order to calculate the transient thermal analysis. Out of the outcomes of the coupled transient thermal analysis, there is used the spatial temperature field which as a result of the expansivity of the material causes non-homogenous stress on the turbine housing. The practical part has an individual chapter dedicated to the usability of the topological optimisation in different types of tasks. One of the parts of this chapter includes is a suggestion of the methodology for determination of voltage limitation for the selected type of topological optimisation. The penultimate chapter in the practical part is dedicated to the topological optimisation of the turbine housing on the basis of the preceding voltage analysis and determined limitation. The last chapter includes performed validation of the optimised shape of the housing after the geometry is adjusted. The validation is performed from the perspective of steady state temperature of the output combustion products, of speed of heating of the optimised geometry and from the perspective of the comparison of the life expectancy determined in the thermo-mechanical fatigue. At the end of thesis, there are included conclusions discussed and suggested, scope for improvement and possibilities for continuation of further research.
