Over-expanded internal-combustion engines
Novotný, Pavel ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
At the beginning there is a short history of over-expanded engines. Subsequently, the thermodynamics of ideal over-expanded cycles are analysed and compared with the ideal Otto cycle. The thesis also deals with some design solutions for achieving over-expansion in an internal combustion engine. In the thesis there are also selected over-expanded engines from leading world carmakers. At the end the thesis deals with systems with variable compression ratio.

Three-cylinder Engines
Kočvara, Antonín ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
The main purpose of this thesis is to summarize the progress of four-stroke straight-three engines from the beginning of their production to these days in perspective of parameters and construction. Another goal is to show reasons for their exploitation. The reasons of exploitation are mostly compared to four-cylinder engine and some of them are supported by a calculation. There is also a chapter showing force acting in power train and its influences on straight-three engines. The closing part is dealing with possible ways in future development of straight-three engines.

Application of plain bearings for four-stroke internal combustion engines
Šedo, Matej ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
Subject of this thesis are plain bearings and especially their application for four-stroke internal combustion engines. Thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part provides a basic description of plain bearings, their distribution and evolution. It also discusses their materials and the theory of hydrodynamic lubrication. The second part covers concept of sliding bearings in internal combustion engines and their load associated with the election of right material. It also includes description of particular application of plain bearings and the method of oil distribution. It handles the mounting of crankshaft and camshaft, piston pin, connecting rod and other places where sleeve bearings are use.

Piston of a spark-ignition engine for 3-D printing
Zelko, Lukáš ; Dlugoš, Jozef (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
The goal of the thesis was to design a piston manufactured by conventional method and subsequently adjusted one for additive manufacturing. Beside the designs, thermo-structural model was created for both pistons, considering maximal loading of the engine. Analysis evaluation showed the possibility of further application of the new technology in comparison to current one, within automotive industry.

Concept of an In-line Spark-ignition Engine
Kočvara, Antonín ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
This thesis deals with comparison of straight four-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 1,5 litres and its three-cylinder alternative, which is based on a four-cylinder. The thesis starts with a research, where are examples of some currently manufactured engines. The research is followed by design of both engines, where the design of the crank mechanisms is made more in detail. After that, both crank mechanisms are subjected to dynamic analysis using FEM and MBS methods. The thesis ends with comparison of both engines in terms of crankshaft load, mass and dimensions.

Crankcase Ventilation of the Internal Combustion Engine
Zavadil, Martin ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
This thesis has been written out as a literature review. This work is focused on crankcase ventilation systems of internal combustion engines. The aim was to describe the origin of bow-by in different parts of engine, the principle of operation of individual components and a description of design solution for different types of engines. The work also describes the differences between crankcase ventilation systems of motorcycles and trucks. The last chapter is a description of used design solution of crankcase ventilation system for the selected engine VW 2.0TDI. In conclusion the work outlines possible developments in the field. The work also includes image attachments approaching the issue and design solutions.

Four-stroke single cylinder engine of racing motorcycle for MX1 class
Kučera, Michal ; Svída, David (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
This thesis describes the design of single-cylinder four-stroke racing motorcycle with a displacement of 450 cm3. The introduction describes the MX1 class motorcycle engines design and basic parameters of the designed engine. This is followed by comparing construction of crank mechanism parts meeting strength calculations with components of contemporary racing engines. The next section describes the design of the timing mechanism, balance shaft, cylinder head, engine cylinder, gearbox shaft location and crankcase lubrication and cooling system.

Shape Optimalisation of Aircraft Engine Crankshaft
Vopařil, Jan ; Drápal, Lubomír (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis describes the variety and the width of issues connected with crankshafts of combustion engines. It distinguishes different factors, which influence the shape and size of these crankshafts and the selected findings are then transferred into the design of crankshaft for the particular engine. The thesis also presents coherent description of application of topology optimization to the particular crankshaft and also different, more complex design procedures leading to the optimal shape of crankshaft are afterwards suggested. Quality of such a design is then verified by comparative analysis of fatigue of the crankshaft.
