Pneumobile car-body design for robotic fabrication
Vevera, Tomáš ; Nevřela, Petr (referee) ; Škaroupka, David (advisor)
This thesis solves design of the pneumobile bodywork designated for robotic manufacturing using curved folding method. The thesis evaluates possibilities of this technology and issue of specific behaviour of CCF geometries. With intention to simplify and speedup the proces of designing, the suggestion of software tool for CCF geometry simulation is proposed. Obtained pieces of knowledge are being used in creating the prototype of designed solution using curved folding.

Increasing the range of a vehicle with alternative propulsion
Dryml, Tomáš ; Ranuša, Matúš (referee) ; Navrátil, Václav (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with increasing the range of a vehicle with an alternative drive, which is compressed air. First, an analysis of the pneumatic circuit is performed, from which the areas to be modified result. To improve, it is chosen to find a suitable working pressure and the correct filling, which is calculated on the basis of constant pressure filling and subsequent adiabatic gas expansion. From the theoretical calculation, the runs per cylinder stroke at different pressures are determined and the selected pressures are subsequently experimentally verified. The results show that the most suitable setting increased the range from 331 meters using the original setting, to 616 meters with the new setting.

Design of pedal system for Pneumobil race car using topology optimisation
Pchálek, Václav ; Červinek, Ondřej (referee) ; Vaverka, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis deals with design of pedal assembly of pneumobile racing car to increase its rigidity and reduce its weight. Based on the search, the kinematics of pedal was changed due to more precise determination of pedal ratio. Topology optimization and lattice structure were used to achieve the goals. The results were checked by strength analysis using finite element method. To produce topologically optimized parts use of metal additive technology is assumed, for which the parts have been further modified. Deformation was reduced by 13,4 % for the brake pedal and by 96,8 % for the accelerator pedal. The weight of the pedal system has been reduced by 31 %. This pedal assembly design could be an alternative to the current pedal assembly, as it is lighter and meets the requirements for higher rigidity.

Pneumobile dynamometer design
Fritscher, Matyáš ; Kubík, Michal (referee) ; Jeniš, Filip (advisor)
This bachelor thesis concerns design of measuring station with a dynamometer for a racing pneumobile developed by a student team. The aim of this device is to simplify the process of tuning of the vehicle and to make it more precise. At the beginning of the work, there is a research of current commercial solutions of dynamometer stations. Then, while choosing a suitable brake, there is an evaluation of the possibility of repurposing an old brake, given by the university for this project. After verifying that it meets the necessary requirements, there are several concept solutions presented. For the selected concept, with a specific design for this vehicle, there is a complete design solution including safety analysis of selected nodes.

Race car bonnet shape design based on flow analysis
Šnajdr, Petr ; Kvarda, Daniel (referee) ; Michalec, Michal (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with reducing aerodynamic drag of a pneumobile. The thesis summarizes knowledge in the field of vehicle aerodynamics and the principle of CFD simulations. The essence of the work is bonnet shape design of racing pneumobile Typhoon, developed at FME BUT, for lowest possible air resistance. CFD simulations are used to observe and analyse the influence of the bonnet shape on the aerodynamics properties. The designed shape solution of the bonnet significantly contributes to the reduction of aerodynamic drag compared to the existing bonnet. Thanks to this, the vehicle’s parameters are improved from maximum speed to the range. The acquired knowledge can also help in the further development of pneumobiles and in improving the setting of the computational model described in the work.

Suggestion of a workshop service platform for pneumobil
Suchý, Pavel ; Škopán, Miroslav (referee) ; Hloušek, David (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor’s thesis is a construction design of a mobile scissor lift based on lifting height, platform plate sizes and load capacity. The first part of this thesis studies a comparison of similar lifts. The second part of this thesis deals with a calculation of forces in the lift and a construction of partial components. The pneumatic cylinder is selected for the lifting and a pneumatic circuit is designed. Finally, the drawings of the assembly, drawings of the subassembly and drawing of the partial components are processed.

Design of topologically optimized upright for pneumobil race car
Mende, Milan ; Červinek, Ondřej (referee) ; Vaverka, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of lightweight front uprights of pneumobile Javelin using topology optimization, followed by manufacturing by additive technology Selective Laser Melting. Aluminium alloy AlSi10Mg was used. Topology optimized parts should have met the requirement of minimal safety factor equal to 2, therefore the stress strain analysis was performed using FEM. The maximal deformation was determined and the safety factor obtained. Two unsymmetrical uprights were designed due to parameters of the brake system. The precision of manufacturing was verified by optical digitization. Machined uprights were mounted on the pneumobile and tested directly on the vehicle. No limit states were observed during testing and subsequent races, so they proved to be fully functional. Weight of the left upright was reduced from 1 609 g to 758 g, the right one was lightened to 741 g.
