Race car bonnet shape design based on flow analysis
Šnajdr, Petr ; Kvarda, Daniel (referee) ; Michalec, Michal (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with reducing aerodynamic drag of a pneumobile. The thesis summarizes knowledge in the field of vehicle aerodynamics and the principle of CFD simulations. The essence of the work is bonnet shape design of racing pneumobile Typhoon, developed at FME BUT, for lowest possible air resistance. CFD simulations are used to observe and analyse the influence of the bonnet shape on the aerodynamics properties. The designed shape solution of the bonnet significantly contributes to the reduction of aerodynamic drag compared to the existing bonnet. Thanks to this, the vehicle’s parameters are improved from maximum speed to the range. The acquired knowledge can also help in the further development of pneumobiles and in improving the setting of the computational model described in the work.

Pneumobile dynamometer design
Fritscher, Matyáš ; Kubík, Michal (referee) ; Jeniš, Filip (advisor)
This bachelor thesis concerns design of measuring station with a dynamometer for a racing pneumobile developed by a student team. The aim of this device is to simplify the process of tuning of the vehicle and to make it more precise. At the beginning of the work, there is a research of current commercial solutions of dynamometer stations. Then, while choosing a suitable brake, there is an evaluation of the possibility of repurposing an old brake, given by the university for this project. After verifying that it meets the necessary requirements, there are several concept solutions presented. For the selected concept, with a specific design for this vehicle, there is a complete design solution including safety analysis of selected nodes.

Design of topologically optimized upright for pneumobil race car
Mende, Milan ; Červinek, Ondřej (referee) ; Vaverka, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of lightweight front uprights of pneumobile Javelin using topology optimization, followed by manufacturing by additive technology Selective Laser Melting. Aluminium alloy AlSi10Mg was used. Topology optimized parts should have met the requirement of minimal safety factor equal to 2, therefore the stress strain analysis was performed using FEM. The maximal deformation was determined and the safety factor obtained. Two unsymmetrical uprights were designed due to parameters of the brake system. The precision of manufacturing was verified by optical digitization. Machined uprights were mounted on the pneumobile and tested directly on the vehicle. No limit states were observed during testing and subsequent races, so they proved to be fully functional. Weight of the left upright was reduced from 1 609 g to 758 g, the right one was lightened to 741 g.

Pneumobile car-body design for robotic fabrication
Vevera, Tomáš ; Nevřela, Petr (referee) ; Škaroupka, David (advisor)
This thesis solves design of the pneumobile bodywork designated for robotic manufacturing using curved folding method. The thesis evaluates possibilities of this technology and issue of specific behaviour of CCF geometries. With intention to simplify and speedup the proces of designing, the suggestion of software tool for CCF geometry simulation is proposed. Obtained pieces of knowledge are being used in creating the prototype of designed solution using curved folding.

Design and analysis of racing pneumobile frame
Jelínek, Josef ; Roupec, Jakub (referee) ; Ranuša, Matúš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis reacts to the changes in the Aventics Pneumobil competition in the new season and proposes a solution to eliminate problems affecting drivability of the vehicle which were identified previously. Part of this thesis aims to analyze recent Institute of machine and industrial design at Brno University of Technology’s pneumobile vehicles frames and their problems. It also contains a whole new frame designing process. There are basic informations about the Aventics Pneumobil competition and its rules connected to this thesis. The process of designing a new frame requests a lot of input quantities of the vehicle. A lot of them were unknown and had to be set in order to gain the desired vehicle properties. The main part of the thesis is the construction part. A detailed CAD model is designed on the basis of chosen vehicle concept. It is then exported into a Finite element software for a strength analysis. All results are summarized in the conclusion and the next procedure is recommended.
