Surface texturing of rubbing surfaces
Chlachula, Petr ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Křupka, Ivan (advisor)
Surface texturing of rubbing surfaces represents the way how to increase tribological performances by improving the lubrication film formation and diminishing friction and wear. Its application in machine components requires detailed understanding of the mechanism taking place between rubbing surfaces in microscopic scale. This diploma thesis is focused on the processes taking place in tribology systems to consider the possibility of surface texturing applications in highly loaded machine parts operated under transient operational conditions.

Study of lubrication films formation under starved lubrication conditions
Košťál, David ; Hartl, Martin (referee) ; Křupka, Ivan (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis is to reveal production mechanisms of lubrication films between non-conformal surfaces in situations, when is not possible to designate lubrication regime as fully flooded elastohydrodynamic contact. Under certain conditions of lubrication volume, rolling speeds, temperatures, lubrication properties or loads could lubrication film decrease under values determined by fully flooded formulas. This regime is designated as starvation at it includes risk of increased wear. In this thesis the methodology and the new simulator of starving contact are described. Obtained film thickness results are compared with existing numerical models.

The study of transition between fully flooded and starved regimes in EHL Contact
Popelka, Michal ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Svoboda, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with The study of transition between fully flooded and starved regimes in EHL Contact. The work is focused on problems of starved contact and surface texturing of rubbing surfaces. Surface texturing of rubbing surfaces is one of the adjustments that cause in a sense improved lubricity and reduce friction and wear. The aim of this study is to compare numerical models with real experimental results measured on the Experimental apparatus.

Effect of surface texturing on starved contact
Jordán, Jakub ; Náhlík, Luboš (referee) ; Křupka, Ivan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the effects surface texturing on starved contact. Experimental verification was realized on apparatus simulating contact between a steel ball and glass disc using colorimetric interferometry and high-speed camera. The work deals with lubrication regimes, problems with starved contacts and surface texturing which can reduce effects of starvation on non-conformal surface contacts.

Effect of surface texturing on elastohydrodynamic films
Puchner, Jiří ; Dzimko, Marián (referee) ; Křupka, Ivan (advisor)
Diploma thesis describes analysis of influence of surface texturing on non-conformal rubbing surfaces. High speed camera was used to observe the effect of micro-dents of various depths on film thickness under pure rolling and rolling/sliding conditions. It can be concluded from the obtained results that micro-texture of suitable sizes can results in film thickness increase without lubrication film breakdown.

Design of knee joint simulator
Polnický, Vojtěch ; Čížek, Petr (referee) ; Vrbka, Martin (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the design and realization of an experimental device. The purpose of device is the simulation of dynamic and kinematic conditions of knee replacement during the walking cycle. The simulator will be used to study the formation of the lubricating film in contact of the femoral component and the polyethylene spacer, and to the cyclic wear tests for knee replacements. First part of thesis is focused on the description of working parameters of knee replacements and analysis of knee joint simulators. The description of conceptual design and selection of the final variation follows. The final design allows simulation of dynamic and kinematic conditions of ISO 14 243-3. Creation of lubricating film is analyzed by the non-contact optical fluorescence microscopy method. The work includes complete drawing documentation, wiring diagram, verification of the functionality of the device and detailed operating instructions.

Lubricant film formation in oil impregnated sintered metal parts
Látal, Roman ; Polach, Pavel (referee) ; Omasta, Milan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the experimental study of the formation of the lubricating film used for sintered metal parts impregnated with oil. The thickness of the lubricating film in a line contact is measured by the method of optical interferometry of thin lubricating films. In this thesis, the effects of various operating parameters on the formation of the lubricating film are described. The usage of impregnated lubricant leads to insufficient supply of lubricant to the contact. Individual results are significantly influenced by the degree of flooding of the contact area.
