Innovation of guide rail production technology
Zlínská, Marie ; Ohnišťová, Petra (referee) ; Píška, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis provides the new plan of technological process of production of the guide rail used on the splitting machine type SVIT 06155. The current process of component production, which was designed more than 40 years ago, is proving inefficient with regard to current production possibilities. The first part of the work describes the process of splitting the leather, further explains the principle of operation of the machine and then defines the required properties of the guide rail in terms of operating conditions. The analysis of the issue reveals two possible solutions. The first is a change of the material of the guide rail and the second is a change of the coating technology and its composition. The introduction of the experimental part presents the solution, together with the newly designed production process and drawing documentation of the guide rail. The correctness of the design is further verified by the production of the component itself and by the evaluation of the surface condition of the Alicona device using the surface and profile method. Finally, an evaluation is made and recommendations for future production of the component are discussed.

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.

Experimental investigation and numerical modelling of top of rail products
Kvarda, Daniel ; prof.Roger Lewis (referee) ; Meierhofer, Alexander (referee) ; Hartl, Martin (advisor)
Tato disertační práce se zabývá experimentálním a numerickým studiem maziv pro temeno kolejnice. Tyto maziva se používají ke snížení opotřebení, hluku a zlepšení energetické účinnosti kontaktu kola a kolejnice. V posledních dvou desetiletích byl proveden rozsáhlý experimentální výzkum týkající se použití maziv pro temeno kolejnice. Avšak velmi málo výzkumu bylo zaměřeno na základní mechanismy těchto produktů, zejména na problémy s nízkou adhezí. Aplikace matematických modelů v této oblasti také nebyla dosud zkoumána. Cílem této práce je pomocí matematického modelu vysvětlit třecí chování a problémy s nízkou adhezí maziv pro temeno kolejnice. Model předpokládá jak tření vznikající interakcí nerovností pevných látek, tak separaci mazacím filmem. Validace tohoto modelu byla provedena na experimentálním tribometru se schopností měřit tloušťku filmu pro ověření přesné predikce separace povrchu. Komerční tribometr byl použit ke zkoumání vlivu jednotlivých složek v mazivu pro temeno kolejnice na bázi oleje. Sada reologických testů v kombinaci s modelem ukázala, že pevné částice měly velmi malý vliv na zvýšení adheze po aplikaci. Následně byly testovány různé typy maziv pro temeno kolejnice pomocí vysokotlakého torzního zařízení. Mezný režim tření těchto látek byl hodnocen představeným modelem. Bylo zjištěno, že pozitivní třecí vlastnosti, které by tyto produkty měly poskytovat, jsou výsledkem velké skluzové vzdálenosti, která mění složení třecí vrstvy. Nízký koeficient tření v důsledku nadměrné aplikace se vyskytl při stejném aplikovaném množství u všech testovaných látek. Tato diplomová práce představuje původní výzkum rozšiřující znalosti o produktech pro temeno kolejnice.

Design of device for material antiseizure testing
Burk, Filip ; Kvarda, Daniel (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
Friction between materials can be partially eliminated by lubrication between surfaces. In order to select the correct lubricating oil, it is necessary to have the necessary test means to make an evaluation. One of these is a four-ball tester, which is lacking at the BUT Institute of Design. The aim of the bachelor thesis is the design of a modification of the existing tribometer R-MAT 3 for a four-ball configuration. The review part includes a description of the preparation, measurement and evaluation of the four-ball tester and an evaluation of conventional testers. The design of the ball mounting, drive and torque transfer to the tribometer spindle was carried out. Measurement and recording of friction torque, contact force and temperature during the test was also proposed. The result is a configuration ready for implementation. The review section includes a description of the preparation, measurement and evaluation of the four-ball test and an evaluation of conventional testers.

Wear analysis of the sliding surface material of large-scale hydrostatic bearings
Daněk, Lukáš ; Robenek, Dětřich (referee) ; Svoboda, Petr (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the experimental investigation of the wear behavior of sliding surface materials in large-scale hydrostatic bearings during oil supply failure. The aim is to clarify the influence of materials and surface treatments on friction and wear. For this purpose, a testing methodology was designed and implemented in laboratory conditions. An experimental module was developed for the tribometer to simulate a critical state and a new procedures were established for evaluating the behavior of the contact. Wear results were observed using a profilometer, precise scales, and a microscope. A set of suitable materials for pad sliding surfaces was created, which were tested under critical conditions. The selected materials were representatives of construction steel and anticorrosion treatments (galvanization), soft and hard (aluminium) bronzes, composite bearing linings (Babbitt), polymers (UHMWPE), and composite materials (PTFE). The experimental results show the dependence of friction on sliding velocity, wear rate, and other phenomena repeatedly measured on a statistical sample of selected materials. The final result is a list of characteristics, limitations, and recommendations for the tested sliding materials, which can be used for more effective design and operation of large-scale hydrostatic bearings.

Determination of anodizing parameters for surface properties of aluminum alloys
Paclík, Eduard ; Vaverka, Ondřej (referee) ; Košťál, David (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the determination of basic parameters for anodizing aluminum alloys. The introductory passages include an overview of aluminum alloys suitable for anodization, theoretical and practical assumptions of anodic oxidation. The main experimental part discusses the laboratory anodic oxidation of aluminum alloy samples under different parameters of surface roughness, current density, and voltage. Anodically oxidized samples were tested on special UMT tribometer and Contour GT-X profilometer devices for friction coefficient measurement and surface inspection. The measurement results were used to determine the dependence between surface roughness of aluminum alloys and the quality of the anodized layer, the dependence between current density of the anodic process and the quality of the anodized layer, and the dependence between voltage and the quality of the anodized layer. The problem was solved within the possibilities of FSI laboratory conditions. The thesis serves as a basic orientation in this field.

Measurement of friction coefficient between damping wire and groove
Šnábl, Pavel ; Pešek, Luděk ; Bula, Vítězslav ; Běhálek, V. ; Boháč, T. ; Tašek, H.
Damping wire is being used on railway wheels for noise suppression. It is inserted into a groove of the wheel and dry friction damping reduces vibrations and thus the noise transmitted by the wheel. For increase of durability of the wire, surface treatment of the groove and the ring must be applied to prevent corrosion. Three combinations of diferent surface treatments were studied during reciprocating motion in a set of measurements with diferent frequencies and normal forces to evaluate friction coeficient. Then, those measurements were repeated after a long-time run to evaluate the change of friction coeficient after the wear of the surfaces.
