Cranktrain with High Mechanical Efficiency
Krajči, Jakub ; Raffai, Peter (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
This master's thesis is concerned with the mechanical efficiency of cranktrain contact pairs in a combustion engine. In the introductory part, the fundamental terminology relating to the cranktrain is presented along with the specification of the areas of mechanical losses, greasing modes and types of wear. The following chapters describe the possibilities of eliminating mechanical losses of the cranktrain and the calculation methods that can be utilized to mathematically solve mechanical losses. The practical part includes the proposal of a calculation model and its use in the analysis of the cranktrain of Skoda 1.2 HTP engine. The last part of this thesis comprises modified alternatives of the standard cranktrain focusing on the elimination of mechanical losses. The evaluation of the results is presented in the conclusion of this thesis.

Modeling the Impact of Piston Rings on Oil Consumption of Internal Combustion Engines
Raffai, Peter ; Pavlov,, Michal (referee) ; Dr. Dan E. Richardson (referee) ; Kučera, Pavel (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
V rámci této práce byl vyvinut komplexní simulační nástroj, vycházející z výpočtového modelování fyzikálních a chemických dějů, který je doplněn vhodnými matematickými postupy. Výsledný software je schopen stanovit ztrátový výkon sady pístních kroužků pomocí účinků klíčových mechanismů a jejich vzájemné interakce při standardním provozu pístních kroužků. Simulační výstupy byly navrženy v souladu se zájmy průmyslové praxe, např. určení objemového toku plynů pístní skupinou, ztrátové výkony vlivem tření a spotřeba oleje, která je ovlivněna sadou pístních kroužků. Při vývoji simulačního modelu byly technické experimenty vykonány na tříválcovém zážehovém motoru za účelem získání vstupních dat a ověření výsledků. Možnosti navrženého simulačního nástroje jsou na tomto motoru dále demonstrovány v podobě parametrických studií, využitelných zejména při návrhovém procesu. Cílem dizertační práce bylo zaplnit mezeru ve výzkumné oblasti simulačních nástrojů, které mohou účinně propojit výpočtové modelování třecích ztrát a současně i spotřeby oleje, a podpořit tak výrobce pístních kroužků a vývojová oddělení spalovacích motorů.

Car Door Handle FEM Model Creation and Validation for Crash Simulations
Raffai, Peter ; Korouš, Jan (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this master’s thesis was to create a component model of a door handle stiffener used by the Volkswagen concern, which can be used for crash computations. Also to tune its parameters the way, its behavior corresponds the most to the real part’s. In the theoretical part the current regulations of the Euro NCAP are presented, concerning the testing and evaluation of the passive safety of new vehicles. Attention is focused on the evaluation of the side impact barrier tests, where the effect of the door handle stiffener’s damage is reflected the most. Shown are the reasons for the effort to simulate the real behavior of the stiffener, the factors, which initialized the born of the studied problem. The practical part starts with the creation of the FEM mesh of the part based on its 3D CAD model, also describes the requirements for the mesh quality, as well as the used tools and methods. Further on investigated are the characters of real damages of the door handle area during side impacts, based on which the component tests are proposed for the validation of the simulation model. Experimental research consists of the stiffener’s testing for simple bend and twist loads, three specimens each. After the execution of the tests the results get compared with the corresponding simulations. Modifications are made on the model according to the acquired results: refinement of the FEM mesh, new material model usage with failure for shell elements and definition of real material characteristics for the used thermoplastics. The latest obtained simulation dependencies are compared with the measured values again, the results are evaluated at last.

Thermal-Mechanical Analysis of the Cylinder of the Four-stroke Engine
Ptáček, Petr ; Raffai, Peter (referee) ; Dlugoš, Jozef (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on creating a finite element method model of a four-stroke engine with a purpose to determine an impact on cylinder bore distortion caused by several types of loading. Introduction of this work covers research of possibilities in modelling thermal-structural analysis of cylinder liner and verifications of the analysis results. An Ansys model was further created and cylinder liner radial deformation caused by head bolts tightening and thermal loading coming from combustion was determined. Finally, a whole engine working cycle was simulated with a gas pressure loading and its final impact on the total cylinder liner radial deformation was defined.
