Cranktrain with High Mechanical Efficiency
Krajči, Jakub ; Raffai, Peter (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
This master's thesis is concerned with the mechanical efficiency of cranktrain contact pairs in a combustion engine. In the introductory part, the fundamental terminology relating to the cranktrain is presented along with the specification of the areas of mechanical losses, greasing modes and types of wear. The following chapters describe the possibilities of eliminating mechanical losses of the cranktrain and the calculation methods that can be utilized to mathematically solve mechanical losses. The practical part includes the proposal of a calculation model and its use in the analysis of the cranktrain of Skoda 1.2 HTP engine. The last part of this thesis comprises modified alternatives of the standard cranktrain focusing on the elimination of mechanical losses. The evaluation of the results is presented in the conclusion of this thesis.

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.

Vliv konstrukčních změn sacího a výfukového traktu na výkonové a emisní parametry motoru
Šenkyřík, Michal
This thesis deals with the design changes of intake and exhaust systems of naturally aspirated combustion engine with the aim to improve its dynamic characteristics. An overview of intake and exhaust tract designs (together with their impact on the engine efficiency) is provided in the introductory part of the thesis. Based on this knowledge, modifications of the intake and exhaust systems of Ford Windsor V8 engine were proposed and installed in a vehicle. A series of dynamic and static tests on chassis dynamometer were carried out in order to measure the impact of the changes on the torque curve. The impacts of the changes are presented in detailed analysis of power and torque characteristics with respect to the engine speed. The results are discussed and the possible causes of observed phenomena are identified.
