Torsional stiffness of Formula Student frame
Jurnečka, Ladislav ; Ramík, Pavel (referee) ; Porteš, Petr (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with detection of torsional stiffness with using photogrammetric equipment TRITOP device and subsequent comparison with created computational model in FEM software. Measurement and calculations were accomplished according to tutorials, which are the most effective and giving the most accurate results. Next the optional method of measurement of torsional stiffness in practice is formed for future formula series called Dragon. The reasons of different results and suggestion of optimalization are sum up in the end of the thesis.

Composite Chassis for Formula Student
Mende, Milan ; Šebela, Kamil (referee) ; Janoušek, Michal (advisor)
The Master’s thesis deals with the design and production of a composite chassis of the new formula Dragon X. The carbon prepreg used for manufacturing of the monocoque was to be operated at high temperatures. Therefore, this thesis deals with the application of composites structures in the high temperature environment. The thesis addresses the torsional stiffness problematics and it was not only physically tested, but also simulated by FEM analysis and the results were compared.

Telemetry for Dragon IV Formula
Bezdíček, Jan ; Petrlík, Jiří (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
The aim of this master's thesis was to design and construct complete telemetry system for the student formula Dragon IV constructed for international Formula Student competition. At first, the work deals with the measurement of the physical quantities, telemetry system and automotive sensors of the formula, their mutual communication and communication with the CAN bus. It also describes the procedure of hardware design including choosing right inertial sensors and a GPS module and their using in telemetry system. The work contains materials for production of two-layer printed circuit board extending the microcomputer BeagleBone Black on the inertial sensors and the GPS module. The bigger part of the telemetry system is the firmware for hardware and software for the computer user. Both written in programming language C++ and C# are included in this work as well. This user application serves for wireless receiving data from the hardware and their showing and logging. In addition this user application can be used for wireless hardware configuration. The final product is the complete telemetry system and it is suitable for selling to end customer.

Formula Student Wheel Design Using Composite Materials
Jelínek, Josef ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis represents a step for performance improvement of a Formula Student race car monopost of TU Brno Racing team at Brno University of Technology. A detailed research focused on light automotive wheels and suitable materials is only a beginning of this work. Its main part is choosing a light weight wheel concept, creation of a new wheel design and its simulations by finite element method. A deep analysis of vehicle dynamics aims to find the most accurate input data for the simulations. The development of a new wheel is intended to cooperate with the latest monopost generation, Dragon 7. The best choice including the desired material properties is made to use composite materials. A new CAD wheel model had been created. It was recreated into a simulation model and analysed afterwards. The analysis output data are compared to some of the best alternatives among the market and the results confirm this project has a great potential. Therefore the next procedure is projected.

Design of Formula Student Car Wheel Carriers
Chlud, Martin ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Ramík, Pavel (advisor)
Master’s thesis focused on design and construction of front uprights for Formula Student racing car. Topology optimization and FEM analysis will be used to design the uprights with higher stiffness and minimal weight difference compared to the last model. In the FEM analysis loads will be applied from wheel side and from suspension side. Design of the upright then will be compared to the previous designs especially to safety factor, weight and cost.

Formula Student Composite Battery Pack
Hagara, Matej ; Šebela, Kamil (referee) ; Janoušek, Michal (advisor)
The main goal of the presented thesis is the design and solution to a riddle of a constructive design of a „battery pack“ (battery container) and its installation into the student formula Dragon eD2. The introduction part of the thesis describes the basic FSAE rules, with a focus on the design of the above-mentioned component regarding the pilot’s safety. The main aim of the theoretical part is to introduce the essential and convectional typology and manufacturing processes of composite material’s production, while special attention is given to prepreg technology. The knowledge that was derived from the first part was used to perform a set of mechanical tests and analytical computations. Based on gathered data and information the following simulations were adjusted with intention of maintaining simplicity and efficiency. The emphasis is places on easy and maintainable design, good structural strength, and low weight. The final part of the thesis offers the conclusion based on the obtained results and presents theoretically optimal design in terms of production and installation for low-cost production in small series.

Formula Student Intake System Design
Kříž, Radim ; Řehák, Kamil (referee) ; Janoušek, Michal (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the intake system of a turbocharged Formu-la Student combustion engine. The thesis contains a brief description of the intake system of a passenger vehicle and the intake system of a Formula Student vehicle. Part of the work is the design of an electronic throttle. The type of throttle valve was selected based on a research of individual types used nowadays. Furthermore, simulations of the flow of the air through the intake system are performed and the results are used in the design cal-culations.

Rocker for Formula Student Vehicle
Šprta, Petr ; Prokop, Aleš (referee) ; Janoušek, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with a prototype of the rear suspension rockers of the racing monopost Dragon 10th generation, which is being developed at the Brno University of Technology within the international educational project Formula Student. Based on the research, the technology method of casting has been chosen for this purpose. The input for the prototype of the rocker arms is based on the impacting forces and suspension points given by kinematics of the vehicle. Based on these facts, topology optimization of the shapes has been conducted and the components have been modelled accordingly. Followingly, optimization focused on minimizing weight, deformation and stress were conducted using the reverse loading of modelled components. The last part of this thesis is concerned in the comparison of rear rockers of the last year‘s monopost Dragon 9. Taking into consideration the change of the concept, the mechanical properties of rockers are slightly better.
