HPV
Šmak, Petr ; Kloss, Ondřej (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
Design of frame of a human powered vehicle (HPV) is the aim of this diploma thesis. Wide analysis precedes design process. The thesis describes historical developement of land transportation, especially history of cycling, bicycles and other human povered vehicles, which are not so extended. Preferences and deficiencies of transportation by these ecological vehicles are shown. The thesis includes summary of most widespread and best-known conceptions, including their advantages and disadvanteges. Conception of three-wheeled vehicle was selected. It has two steered front wheels and one powered rear wheel. The accent is putted on wide efficiency, ergonomics, simplicity of vehicle`s frame and possibility of using common cycling components. 3D model of frame and assembly of vehicle was created. This model was checked by FEM computation.

Rotordynamics of Modern Turbocharger
Fryščok, Tomáš ; Dundálek, Radim (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (referee) ; Píštěk, Václav (advisor)
This dissertation thesis consists rotordynamics of modern turbocharger. First part begins with prediction of critical speed, prediction of onset instability of oil whirl and oil whip by XLTRC2 and comparison with measured data (Cascade diagram, shaft motion, FFT analysis). List of measurement method for the detection of the natural frequency of turbocharger (EMA). Create software for long term monitoring and recording and output data size reduction. Detection of critical speed by defined measurement methodology without using software simulation with measured data from the Cascade diagram, move the rotor shaft motion in the bearing, FFT analysis and results from measurements of natural frequencies. Comparison of predicted data (critical speed, prediction of onset instability) program XLTRC2 with the values measured by this approach measurement (waterfall diagram, shaft motion, FFT analysis)

Study of Stirling Engine
Němec, Jan ; Kloss, Ondřej (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
This work deals with the structural design of the Stirling engine beta modifications for increasing the thermal efficiency of the regenerator. This work is an attempt to propose a regenerator, or propose ways of working fluid through the heater and the heat exchanger to cool the chamber. All using different design elements. Furthermore, this work deals with stress analysis using computer software.

Vehicle Dynamics Measurement Analysis Using Mathematical Modelling
Blaťák, Ondřej ; Kledus, Robert (referee) ; Mazůrek, Ivan (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
This doctoral thesis is focused in connection of measurement with a model in this meaning. Only relative easier measurable variables are measured on a vehicle and these variables make model inputs. This process can be improved by using dynamic filtering principles, where measured variables are used not only as model inputs, but they are used for the correction of a model motion too. We can obtain an optimal estimate of vehicle real behaviour during a manoeuvre with using this method. Linear discrete Kalman filter (dynamic filter) was used for the connection of the measurement with the mathematic model with regard to chosen model (planar linear single track model). The main task of Kalman filter is try to estimate the state of the discrete time depending process that is determined by the linear stochastic difference equation. Effective measurement system (based on CompactRIO unit) was built within the scope of this PhD thesis. This system is able to measure simultaneously a lot of quantities on the experimental vehicle. Velocity components (measured through optical correlative sensor Correvit), yaw velocity (measured through vibrating gyroscope), lateral acceleration, distance component (measured through MicrosatGPS system) are the basic measured parameters. Big attention was paid to obtain other important inputs of the mathematic model such centre of gravity position, moment of inertia, steering ratio etc. The last part of the thesis is oriented on the real connection of the measurement with the mathematic model. Formula Ford 1600 was used as the experimental car. The driving manoeuvre was arranged according to the norm ISO/WD 3888/2. Three versions of the Kalman filter were realised, which differs in the measured variables used for the mathematical model motion correction. Other possibilities, how to improve the process of state variables estimation eventually how to effective use this algorithm for vehicle parameters identification (cornering stiffness of the tires for example), are sketched in the end of the thesis.

Stirling Engine
Blaha, Josef ; Kloss, Ondřej (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
This dissertation discusses Stirling’s cycle and its contribution using different approaches. There are calculation of Schmidt’s theory and distinctiveness between ideal and real cycle described. Based on my previous research, this work provides a detailed summary of different methods which are used to stimulate Stirling’s cycles as well as the motor as a whole. Attention is particularly dedicated to current utilization of this machine which is not broadly known within general public.

Spark ignition engine with variable compression ratio
Fűri, Peter ; Ramík, Pavel (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
With the aim of reducing pollutant emissions from internal combustion engines, the application of stoichiometrically operated spark ignition engines, for light vehicles, has been overcoming the compression ignition engines market share throughout the past years. The ability of a substantial reduction of the primary harmful emissions (HC, CO, and NOx). Nonetheless, with increasing attention to CO2 emissions, the development of highly efficient downsized spark ignition engines turns to be of enormous interest. However, to enable high load operation on such downsized engines, the compression ratio must be reduced due to knock limitations, reducing the partial-load operations efficiency. The work tries to describe solutions that have already been developed by various car manufacturers and to describe in detail my proposed design solution for changing the compression ratio using two-stage system.

Coupling PTO (POWER TAKE - OFFS)
Holubec, Martin ; Jakubec, Josef (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis deal with a calculation and a construction concept of a PTO coupling used in Tatra vehicles. The coupling allows turn on an accessory machinery when the engine is on. It is designed as an multiplate clutch with a wet surrounding. The operating is managed by a pneumatic system. The construction solution was restricted mainly by space needs. The calculation includes torque issues and aslo a part considering a heat question. The construction section includes individual clutch parts design.

Pulava, Oleksandr ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (referee) ; Píštěk, Václav (advisor)
The aim of this diploma is to design a crankshaft for a six-cylinder commercial vehicle, which is one of the unified motors. The main parts are the design of the crankshaft configuration, the crankshaft balancing method for forces and moments, the crankshaft design documentation, and the crankshaft strength verification. The design of torsional vibration damping characteristics is also made and its effect on torsional vibration and crankshaft strength is determined.
