Software for Optimalization of Gear Speed
Pokorný, Pavel ; Beran, Martin (referee) ; Svída, David (advisor)
Rolling vehicle is being influenced both by driver and many other factors of physical nature. These factors affect the whole behavior of the car, its performance, fuel consumption etc. It is very reasonable to cope with these factors then. The main aim during vehicle evolution (both civil and racing ones) is to optimize the influence of all invisible enemies as much as possible. The aim of this work is a description of factors influencing the moving vehicle. Several practical examples are included. The theory of transmissions is fundamental to the programme for creating a saw-diagram and gear speed optimization. Finally a few analysis of the real vehicles and subsequent evaluation will be done. The output of the work is an overview of factors affecting the moving vehicle, the results of performed analysis and programme for optimization of gear speed.
The engine unit of a loader
Koksa, David ; Škopán, Miroslav (referee) ; Kašpárek, Jaroslav (advisor)
The work is focused on loading construction machinery and their engine units. The theoretical background research introduces the domain of wheeled loaders. Subsequently, three specific machines, which are available on the market, are selected from a similar model range. They are selected according to the specified technical criteria. Individual power requirements for various modes of operation are calculated according to a suitable algorithm. These power requirements are summed up to obtain the needed total power. Based on the calculated value of the total power the suitable engines from various producers are proposed at the end of this work. This was the goal of the work.

The engine unit of forestry harvestor
Petr, Tomáš ; Škopán, Miroslav (referee) ; Kašpárek, Jaroslav (advisor)
At the beginning of bachelor´s thesis is description of harvester and its main parts. Then research of four six – wheeled forestry harvesters was developed. Features of compared harvesters are similar to the task. The next point was theoretical part with equations needed for calculation of rolling and inertial resistances. Based on the theory an enumeration of powers of particular driving modes was done. Then performances for work devices of harvester were calculated. From the single values were determined total powers of machine, which were transparently organized into table and graph. Based on the maximal total power were chosen three appropriate engines. From the three was selected the most suitable one.
Physiological response of a cyclist when using various components of a mountain bike.
Bížová, Michaela ; Brtník, Tomáš (advisor) ; Turčová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Physiological response of the cyclist's organism when using different mountain bike components. Objectives: The goal of this final thesis was to assess the different influence of bicycle components on the physiological response of the cyclists' organism using a systematic research. Methods: The main sources were searched in the scientific databases Taylor and Francis, Researchgate, ScienceDirect. In the included studies, individual researches were searched that were focused on the physiology of the body of the tested cyclists. These were experiments. These investigations investigated the overall performance using different cycling components. From the compared results of all researches, possible moderating factors of the influence of these components on the energy demand during driving were determined. Results:A total of 18 studies were used in this work, focusing on the physiological response of cyclists when using different components of a mountain bike and comparing somatic characteristics, including those of road cycling. Full-suspension mountain bikes provide greater comfort and shock absorption in off-road terrain, resulting in reduced physical exertion and energy demands during riding. Riding a bike with only front suspension was found to be more efficient and faster than using both...
Rolling Resistance Coefficient of Tires
Hasala, Matěj ; Blaťák, Ondřej (referee) ; Hejtmánek, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the rolling resistance coefficient of tyres both in terms of the factors that influence this coefficient and in terms of experimental methods for its determination. In the first part of the thesis, the key factors affecting the rolling resistance coefficient are discussed in detail. This is followed by a description of the methods used to measure rolling resistance in laboratory and real-world conditions. The thesis continues with an overview of typical rolling resistance coefficient values for tyres of different categories, which have been further divided into subcategories and compared with each other. The last part of the thesis is devoted to the principal design of a measuring device for rolling resistance measurement. The design takes the cost and capability of obtaining a certificate of roadworthiness into account. Specific measuring instruments and components needed for the homologation process were selected and price calculation of known parts was made.
Effect fo different sizes of wheels of in-line skates on energy expenditure
Sukovič, Richard ; Jindra, Matouš (advisor) ; Brtník, Tomáš (referee)
EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SIZES OF WHEELS OF IN-LINE SKATES ON ENERGY EXPENDITURE Objectives: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to determine the difference in energy expenditure when using different sizes of wheels of in-line skates. Methods: The research group consisted of 5 people in age 26,4 ± 2,2 years. This was an experiment. The calculation of energy expediture was based on the amount of oxygen consumption (VO2) and exhaled carbon dioxide (VCO2), i.e. indirect calorimetry. For the analysis of respiratory gases MetaMax 3B measuring device was used. Three sizes of wheels of the same hardness were tested. The rides were carried out on a 1,5 km section of a cycle path with the effect of the height difference of 2 mm/m. Probands completed one test ride (with a cadence of 70 rpm) on each size set of wheels. Test ride lasted for 5 minutes. For results were processed values of 3 minutes steady state VO2. Results: We found out a noticeable difference in energy output between 72 mm and 90 mm large wheels. The difference between driving on 72 mm and 80 mm large wheels and driving on 80 mm and 90 mm large wheels was, due to the standard error of measurement, insignificatnt. Conclusion: The energy expenditure reached a noticeable increase in driving with a larger diameter of wheels compared to driving on...

Sukovič, Richard ; Brtník, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šafránek, Jiří (referee)
VLIV VZTAHU DÉLKY DOLNÍ KONČETINY A VELIKOSTI RÁFKU NA PSYCHOFZIOLOGICKOU ODEZVU ORGANISMU Cíle: Cílem této práce je posoudit vliv délky dolní končetiny (DK) na psychofyziologickou odezvu organismu při jízdě na horském kole s odlišnými velikostmi ráfků. Metody: Soubor probandů tvořilo 20 mužů ve věku 26,4 ± 4,2 let. Jednalo se o experiment. Psychofyziologická odezva byla stanovena na základě výkonu (zajetého času), tepové frekvence a subjektivním hodnocení jízdních vlastností horského kola a vlastního vynaloženého úsilí hodnoceného na Borgově škále. Ke kontrolní analýze při testování byl použit přístroj MetaMax 3B. Testovány byly tři velikosti ráfků o stejné šíři plášťů. Jízdy byly realizovány na 800 m dlouhém okruhu. Testované osoby absolvovali každou jízdu s individuálně zvoleným fixním převodem v poloze v sedle s maximálním možným úsilím. Výsledky: Při jízdě na různě velkých ráfcích jsme u skupiny č. 2 (85 -90 cm DK) shledali velký rozdíl (P = 0,016) v dosažených časech při jízdě na různě velkých ráfcích. U skupiny č. 1 jsme shledali významné rozdíly v průměrné tepové frekvenci (P = 0,010), který činil 3 tepy a u subjektivního hodnocení vlastního vynaloženého úsilí pomocí Borgovy škály jsme se pohybovali na hranici významnosti (P = 0,060). Skupina č. 3 (97 - 101 cm DK) se pohybovala na hranici...
