Study of starvation in a grease-lubricated elastohydrodynamic contact
Kuňák, Jiří ; Hartl, Martin (referee) ; Svoboda, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis is an experimental study of grease lubrication in a starved elastohydrodynamic lubricated (EHL) contact. Lubricating film thickness is measured with tribological experimental device ball-on-disc using optical interferometry and high speed camera. The experiment is aimed at a comparison of results acquired by ball-on-disc device and full scale axial bearing. In addition, this paper also investigates the influence of number of the rolling elements (overrolling time) on the resulting film thickness.

Experimental Study of Wheel Flange Lubrication
Frýza, Josef ; Dzimko, Marián (referee) ; Omasta, Milan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the experimental study of the influence of operating conditions on the tribological aspects of the wheel flange and rail gauge contact. The wheel flange contact occurs when the vehicle moves on a curve track and it leads to severe up to catastrophic wear regime. For effective reduction of wear is important to apply a suitable amount of lubricant at appropriate intervals into the contact. The issue in this work comprehensively studies using of three laboratory apparatus and six methods that are theoretically and experimentally compared. Assessed are friction, wear, distribution and film thickness of lubricants for different contact conditions. The resulted amount of lubricant and interval of its application eliminates development of seizure at low consumption of lubricant. The understanding of mechanisms that occur in the wheel-rail contact not only helps to reduce operating costs and improved to energy efficiency of movement of vehicle on a track, but it is the basis for safe, reliable and ecological operation of rail transport.

Design of adaptive wiper of liquids
Novotný, Antonín ; Nečas, David (referee) ; Košťál, David (advisor)
This thesis deals with the structural design of the adaptive fluid wiper, which is the complement of laboratory equipment. Laboratory equipment is used to study the thickness of the lubricating layer and the frictional force at contact. The purpose of the adaptive wiper is to remove the maximum amount of liquid from a moving planar disc or to make a uniform film in a rolling path around the periphery of the disc. Among the most controllable features, there are the wiper geometry, the evenly pressing and the follow the disc throwing. The thesis includes the design report, drawings and 3D model.
