Lubricant Gap Shape Optimization of the Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearing
Ochulo, Ikechi ; Vacula, Jiří (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
The objective of this Master's thesis is to find, using genetic algorithm (GA), an optimal profile for lubricating gap of a thrust bearing of a turbocharger. Compared to the analytical profile, the optimal profile is expected to have minimized friction for an equivalent load capacity. Friction minimization is one way to increase the efficiency of the thrust bearing; it reduces the friction losses in the bearing. An initial problem was given: a thrust bearing with Load capacity 1000 N, inner and outer radii of 30mm and 60mm respectively, rotor speed of 45000 rpm and angle of running surface of $0.5^0$. Lubricant properties were also provided for the initial problem: oil density of $ 840 kg/m^3$, dynamic viscosity $(\eta)$ of 0.01 Pa.s With this data, the numerical solution of the Reynolds equation was computed using MATLAB. To obtain more information, the minimum lubricating gap thickness was also computed using MATLAB. With this information, the shape of the analytical profile, and its characteristics were found. The analytical profile was then used a guide to create a general profile. The general profile thus obtained is then optimized using GA. The characteristics of the generated profile is then computed and compared to that of the analytical profile.

Shape Optimization of the Machine Components due to Variability of Input Data
Sawadkosin, Paranee ; Jonák, Martin (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
The objective of this Master’s thesis is to find shape optimal design based on min- imizing friction force of thrust bearing by using genetic algorithm(GA) which is one of an optimization toolbox in Matlab. Reducing the friction force of thrust bearing is one way of making shaft to decreasing friction losses. With four parameters of thrust bearing geometry number of segments(m), angle of running surface(), segment inner radius(R0), and segment outer radius(R1) substitute in Reynolds’ equation. In order to know friction force, it is necessary to generate a connecting variable, oil film thickness(h0) from loading capacity(W ) and revolution per minute(rpm). Friction power loss, as well as weight func- tion conclude the final shape optimization of thrust bearing: m = 7, = 0.1, R0 = 15 mm, and R1 = 20 mm.

Lubricant Gap Shape Optimization of the Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearing
Ochulo, Ikechi ; Vacula, Jiří (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
Cílem této diplomové práce je najít optimální profil mezery mazání pro turbodmychadlo. Cílem je minimalizovat tření, udržovat nosnost a nezvyšovat průtok maziva. Tato multiobjektivní optimalizace se provádí pomocí genetického algoritmu (GA) v MATLABu. Minimalizace třecí síly snižuje ztráty třecího výkonu turbodmychadla. Řešení Reynoldsovy rovnice je počítáno numericky pomocí MATLABu. Je zjištěna minimální tloušťka mazací mezery pro počáteční problém. Funkce spline se používá ke generování obecného profilu mazací mezery. Tento profil je poté optimalizován pomocí GA v MATLABu.
