Design of a device for measuring the center of gravity height of road vehicles
Hanych, Jaroslav ; Blaťák, Ondřej (referee) ; Vančura, Jan (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with problems connected with measuring vehicle centre of gravity height. The research part summarizes generally known methods of measuring vehicle centre of gravity and moments of inertia. Essential part of this thesis is the design of a device for measuring the centre of gravity height of a road vehicle on a principle of measuring a period of oscillation. The height position of the platform of the device is adjustable through hydraulic cylinders. A stress-strain analysis of the design was executed through a combination of analytical methods and a finite element method. The process of measurement was described and an equation for determination of centre of gravity height was deduced. Error of measurement was estimated based on the knowledge of partial errors of measured values.

Post-war automotive aerodynamics
Šmerda, Ondřej ; Vančura, Jan (referee) ; Čavoj, Ondřej (advisor)
This Bachelor thesis deals with charting the development of the automotive aerodynamics in the post-war period. It focuses on principles that go along with car design. The development is demonstrated by aerodynamically significant and unusual cars including racing and record cars. Last but not least, the work compares those cars with today's cars and describes drawbacks of the cars of the given period from today's perspective.

Analysis of the influence of body position on the car's aerodynamic characteristics
Jirásek, Lukáš ; Svída, David (referee) ; Vančura, Jan (advisor)
Aim of this diploma thesis is to make sensitivity research concerning influence of vehicle body position on its aerodynamical loading. CAD model was created in Pro/E software. Formula Ford 1600 chassis and vehicle body dimensions were used as a pattern for CAD model. Then this model was imported into CFD environment where ambient medium characteristic were set up. FLUENT software performed calculations and measurement of aerodynamical characteristics of vehicle dependent on height and angle of chassis.

Springing and Damping of Truck Cabin
Kroupa, Ondřej ; Vančura, Jan (referee) ; Blaťák, Ondřej (advisor)
This Diploma Theses, which can be included in the field of vehicle dynamics, explores the effect of suspension and damping of truck cabs for the safe ride and comfort. As the driver spends many hours in their vehicle, comfort is the most essential criterion. That is why we seek possible improvements which are offered by the sprung cab. The research part firstly analyses the individual elements of suspension and damping. The following chapter is devoted to the systems which are used nowadays in the construction of cabin suspension. Next there is the introduction to the theoretical production of a simplified computational model as well as the presentation of the possible evaluation of the achieved results. The following practical part deals with the actual shaping of the computational model in the Adams View software, which is based on a real vehicle, and was lent at the faculty. The model is then verified and compared with the existing state and the cab mounting concepts are tested on it. The effects of cab parameters on driving comfort and safe riding were tested on it as well. The last part focuses on the forming of the special Dakar computational model, on which optimization was performed according to the findings discussed in the previous chapter. Also, the appropriate configurations to the real-life testing were designed.

Tyre Parameters Measurement
Pokorný, Pavel ; Vančura, Jan (referee) ; Blaťák, Ondřej (advisor)
It is the tyre that ensures the interaction between a wheel and road surface and it is the the tyre which also acts as a primary cushioning. Its construction, features and condition highly influence driving properties of a car and thus passenger safety as well. In motorsports the tyre is a key part of the vehicle and therefore it is necessary to make use of its complete potential for reaching the best results. The aim of this thesis is a device construction suitable for tyre parameter and their characteristics measurement. The next task is to design a measuring system for tyre pressure and temperature monitoring. With using of these devices a few real-tyre measurements and subsequent result evaluation will be done. The output of the thesis is an overview of construction details, overview of selected tyre parameters, design and drawing documentation of multipurpose measuring device and the results of my measurements.
