The effect of texture geometry on friction and lubricating film formation in radial journal bearing
Katrincová, Tereza ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out how the geometric parameters of circular textures affect the friction and lubrication in a conformal contact. The configuration of a partial, radial, hydrodynamic bearing was investigated on a modified block on-ring device, where the block was replaced by a sapphire section. The device allows simultaneous measurement of friction and optical observation of processes in contact. The light induced fluorescence method was used for the measurement of film thickness. None of the studied texture combinations had a positive effect on the transition from hydrodynamic mode to mixed lubrication mode. Textures in the narrow band of the combination of diameter and depth have a positive effect, outside of them negative effect of texture on friction and film thickness was observed.

Experimental study of fluid-induced instabilities in journal bearings
Stifter, Jan ; Polach, Pavel (referee) ; Omasta, Milan (advisor)
Presented diploma thesis deals with experimental study of fluid induced instabilities which occur in rotating machinery with journal bearings. The first part describes the oil whirl and oil whip instabilities. It also gives an example of optical methods used for observation of journal bearings. Next part is dedicated to modifications of an existing test rig that were necessary for carrying out experiments. Finally, there are presented results of experiments that define the effect of initial conditions on appearance of instabilities.

Friction reduction by surface texturing
Mauer, Milan ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to experimentally elucidate the connection between the friction of the specimen with the textured surface and the optical observation of the sliding contact surface. The thesis focuses on the configuration of the journal bearing. This configuration is achieved by replacing the block with a circular sapphire section on a block-on-ring tribometer. For exploring of the lubricant film formation, the method of optical interferometry and fluorescence is implemented on the block-on-ring tribometer. These adjustments allow examination of the effect of the textured surface on the friction coefficient and the thickness of the lubricant film. In a mixed mode, the textures cause a significant increase in friction values and reduce the thickness of the lubricant film. The negative influence of dimples increases with the increasing radial load size. In the hydrodynamic mode, the textures have a lower negative effect on the resulting values than in the mixed mode. The changes are dependent on the size of the radial load and the viscosity of the lubricant. In the hydrodynamic mode, cavitation was not observed, and the effect of the textured surface does not correspond to theoretical prerequisites, which is reflected by lower lubricant thickness and higher friction.

Research of Coatings of Hydrodynamically Lubricated Sliding Bearings for Combustion Engines
Repka, Martin ; Čermák, Roman (referee) ; Petrůj, Jaroslav (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
Hlavní náplní této dizertační práce je výzkum a vývoj nové povrchové vrstvy pro kluzná ložiska na bázi pevných lubrikantů v polyamid-imidové polymerní matrici se zlepšenými tribologckými vlastnostmi. Podklady pro materiálovou kompozici vzešly z expertízy komerčně dostupného povlaku, respektive jeho povrchovou analýzou v mezných operačních podmínkách. Charakterizace mazného oleje před a po tribotestování společně s detailní povrchovou analýzou dala podmínky pro vznik materiálové formulace. Další část práce se zabývá studiem přípravy a vývojem aplikačního nanášení s přípravou polymerní směsi. Nakonec je popsána studie vlivu sulfidu molybdeničitého a grafitu, jakožto pevných lubrikantů pro zlepšení třecích vlastností a hydroxidu vápenatého pro potenciální zpepšení otěruvzdornosti výsledného povrchu pro palikaci kluzných ložisek.

Honc, Robert ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
Master’s thesis deals with the description of cranktrain friction and presents and describes experimental cranktrain friction loss evaluations and computational cranktrain friction loss evaluations. The main problem is the creating software solution of selected computational friction loss evaluations that leads to calculation of cranktrain friction losses. Master’s thesis describes chosen computational friction loss methods and the subsequent creation of the software solution. After application on chosen internal combustion engine, it evaluates the results and draws conclusions about functionality of the software solution.
