Vehicle Hydropneumatic Unit
Koudelka, Roman ; Hejtmánek, Petr (referee) ; Blaťák, Ondřej (advisor)
This diploma thesis, following the bachelor's thesis, is devoted to the gas-liquid unit of a vehicle, as the central element of hydropneumatic suspension. The aim is to dimension and construct this component and integrate it together with other elements into a complex suspension system. Based on possible forms listed in the research section, regarding to current development trends, the form of the unit is chosen. The practical part begins with simulations comparing a hydropneumatic with a conventional suspension system. After solving this issue, it is possible to proceed to the dimensioning of the basic parameters of the unit and then to its construction, respecting the relevant strength calculations. The last step is to build a conceptual design of the whole hydropneumatic suspension system.

MacPherson Suspension Kinematics Analysis
Trnková, Lucie ; Fojtášek, Jan (referee) ; Hejtmánek, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of the position of significant points of MacPherson strut on kinematic characteristics. The first part contains a description of selected suspension parameters, their impact on the driving properties of the car, and a description of MacPherson strut. Furthermore, based on provided data, is prepared a detailed analysis of the influence of kinematics points to individual characteristics. In conclusion, all findings are synoptically summarized so that they can serve as a manual for change of the kinematic characteristics.

Effect of Shock Absorber on Vehicle Limits
Jurka, Adam ; Blaťák, Ondřej (referee) ; Hejtmánek, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this master’s thesis is to evaluate the effect of shock absorber on vehicle limits. At the beginning of the thesis, shock absorber properties were described. Then computational model was created and manoeuvres for shock absorber behaviour were defined. Created mathematical model is based on quarter model of a car and excitation in form of road with a random profile is an essential part of the model. This model was used for evaluation of heave. After heave analysis, shock absorber behaviour during drive was investigated. Drive conditions were defined as set of handling manoeuvres. For the drive investigation, complete multibody virtual model of racing car was used. Based on drive investigation analysis, optimal damping characteristics for each manoeuvre were found. Furthermore, each optimal characteristic was compared for different manoeuvres. Obtained results were compared. As a conclusion, compromise damping characteristic was suggested with the aim to fit the combination of all defined drive conditions. Final part of the thesis was aimed at validation of the computational model. Data measured during real drive were used as an input for this validation.

Measurement of vehicle moments of inertia
Grác, David ; Hejtmánek, Petr (referee) ; Porteš, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis is concerned with selecting the appropriate method for determining the moment of inertia to the vertical, lateral and longitudinal axis through the centre of gravity of the vehicle. Using the special mechanical device, constructed on IAE was carried out repeated measurements of known mass properties in each axis. With the aid of obtained data was calculated measurement error. To compare the resulting values was created MBS model.

Testing of Vehicle Suspension Components
Šidla, František ; Blaťák, Ondřej (referee) ; Hejtmánek, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with issues related to testing car chassis components during development. Automobile transport is the most common type of long-distance transport. That's why vehicles are constantly evolving to provide the best possible performance. Increasing demands on consumers are being placed on vehicles because of the introduction of modern technologies. New technologies and concepts need to be thoroughly tested that they can be properly integrated into existing models. Test devices for determining the characteristics of the chassis are generally described here using specific examples of individual machines. Subsequently, the work clarifies the testing of the service life of individual parts of the chassis. The last part is devoted to the conceptual design of a simplified hydraulic device for testing coil springs. From the calculated characteristics, a hydraulic actuator and pump are selected from the relevant catalogues. In conclusion, the importance of car testing in development is summarized, individual types of testing are described and the readiness of test devices for the future is indicated.

Design of Passenger Car Wheel
Kapoun, Lukáš ; Porteš, Petr (referee) ; Hejtmánek, Petr (advisor)
The present master thesis deals with the design of wheel disk for passenger car. The review part of this thesis summaries the history and development of the wheel; this is followed by a description of individual construction types of wheel disk for passenger car presently used. The construction part of this thesis provides a design of disk of given parameters based on the analysis of forces acting on the car wheel. For the purposes of design, the stress and fatigue analyses are performed.

Návrh vozidla Baja SAE
Hajdušek, Zdeněk ; Hejtmánek, Petr (referee) ; Blaťák, Ondřej (advisor)
This master’s thesis describes the design of the Baja SAE vehicle according to the applicable rules. In the beginning is the work focused on search competing vehicles and subsequently on design the first Baja SAE vehicle in the Czech republic. This thesis is systematically divided into chapters according process to the vehicle design. The main part of a master's thesis is design of axle kinematics in software Adams and frame design. The model was designed in Catia V5. The frame was analysed of torsional stiffness and stress in software ANSYS.

Experimental methodology of measuring
Lojková, Lea ; Hejtmánek, Petr (referee) ; Havlíková, Marie (advisor)
This work is focused on the development of a thorough study about ISO standards focused on the vehicle dynamics, standardized tests of vehicle dynamics and measured variables that allow us to describe and model the behaviour of riding vehicles properly. In the Appendix A of the thesis, there is a list of all known ISO standards dealing with given topic. The standard ISO 15037-1 Road vehicles – Vehicle dynamics test methods, Part 1: General conditions for passenger cars is described in detail, including the forms for test reports and the Appendix C and D. In the thesis, there is also described a model of minimal needed measuring system that is still in good accordance with the standard ISO 15037-1 and fulfills all its requirements. Detailed description of all used sensors that are used to measure required variables is given, as well as a short description of all sensors that are used for measurement of other variables. After that, measurement abilities of the instrumentation of measuring system RIO used in ÚADI FSI Brno is compared and confronted with requirements given by the standard, to see, if all given criteria are properly fulfilled. Because of the fact that standard-given criteria are quite mild, while the equipment of the faculty is high-level technology, mostly made directly for measuring of dynamic parameters of the vehicles, including racing vehicles, the system is in full accordance with the standard ISO 15037-1.
