Computational modeling of radial hydrodynamic bearings for water machines
Pokorný, Jan ; Šimek,, Jiří (referee) ; Návrat, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to calculate the stiffness and damping coefficients for radial hydrodynamic bearings. Cylindrical and lemon hydrodynamic bearings are considered. The solution to this problem mainly depends on the hydrodynamic pressure in the bearing. The numerical solution of the Reynolds equation is used to calculate the pressure. The effect of variable viscosity and density of the lubricant due to temperature changes is considered. The static equilibrium position of the journal centre is also solved. The stiffness and damping coefficients are determined using small amplitude journal motions about the equilibrium position. Three methods for determining these coefficients are presented. The outcome of this thesis is an algorithm for the calculation of stiffness and damping coefficients for cylindrical and lemon bearings. Results for lemon bearings are presented and comparison with the commercial software DynRot BR is made. The benefit of this thesis is the creation of an algorithm for the calculation of journal centre equilibrium position, a new way of incorporating the temperature changes in the viscosity and the density of the lubricant, and the modification of a method for calculating stiffness and damping coefficients based on experimental analogy.
Creating a computational model of the human vocal tract
Freiwald, Michal ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Švancara, Pavel (advisor)
The research part of this bachelor’s thesis consists of a brief introduction to the human respiratory system and its subsidiary vocal subsystem along with a summary of basic phonation theories, voice disorders and published computational models of the human vocal tract. The experimental part engages in the making of the computational model itself, set to pronunciation of the vowel /a:/ in a woman vocal tract, on which, using finite element method, some of the basic acoustic analyses are performed, such as modal analysis or harmonic analysis. Calculated formants correspond with the values published in literature. Several different methods were analyzed while computing harmonic response. The most complex and the most time-consuming method, using infinite elements, also proved to be the most precise one. Thesis gives a decent comparison of the precision and complexity between the used methods.
