Crank train of a two-stroke racing motorcycle engine
Šmahel, Matěj ; Tobiáš, Martin (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with numerical-construction design of a two-stroke single cylinder internal combustion engine crankshaft. First part of diploma thesis describes main force effects of crank train and describes selected two-stroke engine. The second part of this diploma thesis is dedicated to numerical modelling of crank train in Multi-Body System. The main goal is to determine an effect of balance factor to motorcycle components. Loads of main crankshaft bearing and engine mounts are evaluated. Acceleration in handlebars and attachment points for footrest is also determined. The results are summarised, and further possible process is outlined.
Balancing of inline and V engines
Dvořáček, Milan ; Šebela, Kamil (referee) ; Fridrichová, Kateřina (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is concentrated on imbalance of crank train of combustion engines. In first phase focused on theory, sources of imbalance and mechanisms compensating this imbalance are described. Imbalance of few specific inline and V engines is described in detail with emphasis on reciprocating inertia force. In second phase, forms of balancing of in-line three-cylinder engine are tested using simulations in GT Suite simulation tool.
Crank mechanism with a high mechanical efficiency
Drápal, Lubomír ; Tůma, Jiří (referee) ; Páv,, Karel (referee) ; Píštěk, Václav (advisor)
This document describes the possibilities of increasing the mechanical efficiency of the crank train of an internal-combustion engine. For this purpose, a concept with a reduced number of main bearings is chosen and its contribution is verified experimentally. The proposed solution consists of an innovative crankshaft design of a four-cylinder spark-ignition engine with only three main journal bearings and laser-welded sheet metal crank webs. The new design is compared to the mass-produced one in terms of friction losses, vibrations and loading of engine parts by means of simulations of crank train dynamics using the Multi-Body System. The increase in vibration, accompanied by a reduction in friction losses, is compensated by a torsional vibration damper and its effect is experimentally verified. Experimental research of laser welds on the crankshaft in terms of fatigue life is also described. The overall potential is also summarised and further possible development of this innovative and patented design is outlined.
Computational modeling of cranktrain mechanical losses
Smetana, Roman ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
In the introduction of master’s thesis is introduced the common identification with basics of friction, wear and mechanical losses. Master’s thesis includes description of solving losses by help of the MBS software and analysis of mechanical losses in the crank train. In the last part of work is introduced design for decrease mechanical losses in the crank train. At the close of master’s thesis are reviewed records.
Crank Train of a V6 Compression-ignition Engine
Homola, Petr ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
This master thesis, concentrated on crank train mechanism of diesel V6 engines with special focus on design and construction of crankshaft, is divided in two main phases. First phase is concept, which contains brief introduction of diesel V-engines construction, parameters of chosen engine unit, especially crank train mechanism, design of crankshaft and 1D analysis of torsional vibrations. Second phase is layout, this phase deals with MBS 3D analysis with flexible FEM models of crankshaft and engine block. These outputs are used for fatigue analysis of crankshaft.
Unconventional range extender of an electric vehicle
Vysloužil, Marek ; Böhm, Michael (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
This master´s thesis is dealing with the research of range extenders with internal combustion engine and the design of gasoline two-cylinder internal combustion engine with an unconventional parallel arrangement of crankshafts that meets mainly the requirements for low noise production and compact installation. It also describes the creation of a thermodynamic model and kinematic design using GT-Power. The computational part focuses on verifying the suitability of the chosen internal combustion engine concept used as range extender using advanced MBS methods.
