This diploma thesis deals with design of uprights and wheel hubs of front wheels of Formula Student race car. Specifically race cars named Dragon 3 and Dragon 4 of TU Brno Racing team. In this thesis there will be load calculations of front wheels, choosing of bearings and uprights and wheel hub’s design. Then control of design by FEA analysis. And finally comparing of both designs and comparing with previous designs.

The thesis is focused on the method of determining the position of the wheel using photogrammetric equipment Tritop. Verification of the method is performed by measuring of the Formula Student Dragon II. Measured data are processed by algorithm for calculating compiled in Matlab software. The final section describes a concept the measurement of the suspension flexibility on the UADI device.

Diploma thesis deals with detection of torsional stiffness with using photogrammetric equipment TRITOP device and subsequent comparison with created computational model in FEM software. Measurement and calculations were accomplished according to tutorials, which are the most effective and giving the most accurate results. Next the optional method of measurement of torsional stiffness in practice is formed for future formula series called Dragon. The reasons of different results and suggestion of optimalization are sum up in the end of the thesis.

The fuel system is a very important part of the vehicle and the engine. The main function is to deliver the fuel- air mixture into the engine cylinder. This thesis describes the design of the Formula student car fuel system. The first part is an introduction to Formula Student competitions. The next section describes the options of the fuel systems structure and options for individual components. Those rules limit the possibilities for us FSAE that in the next chapter. The following parts are major chapters dealing with the actual design of the fuel system and analysis of selected components. The last part are chapters that deal with the production possibilities of parts and subsequent incorporation into the fuel system of the car.

Tato diplomová práce je věnována vývoji a analýze zavěšení Formule Student. V úvodu je představena mezinárodní soutěž Formula Student, její disciplíny a historie týmu TU Brno Racing a UH Racing. V teoretické části je detailní popis charakteristik pneumatiky, kinematický návrh zavěšení a aerodynamiky s ohledem na závodní vozy. V části věnované konstrukčnímu návrh je popis vývoje ramen zavěšení, vahadel a zadního stabilizátoru. Návrh kinematických charakteristik vozu Dragon 5 je detailně popsán a porovnán s předešlou variantou. Mimo vývoje kinematiky Dragon 5 je popsán vývoj vozu UH 18. Závěrečná kapitola detailně analyzuje zaznamenaná data z testování vozu Dragon 4.

The master’s thesis deals with methods of matching of a turbocharger to a combustion engine and with the analysis of their mutual cooperation. Besides a methodology of analytical determination of the appropriate size for compressor and turbine stage, there was created a thermodynamic model of an engine that is to be used as a means of propulsion for a prototype single-seater for the competition Formula Student. Post processing of real engine data measured on a dyno helped to create a parameter database that could be used for validation of the thermodynamic engine model and for deeper understanding of the system’s internal processes.

This diploma thesis deals with valve train design of turbocharged engine used in Formula Student category race car. Based on thermodynamic model, a proper valve timing was chosen to achieve maximum power at high engine speed. A kinematic model was used to compute final cam profiles and CAD model was created.

Diploma thesis deals with comparison of different types of tyres destined for Formula Student vehicle. Comparison is from view of chosen characteristics and from view of simulations for one lap. Thesis deals with kinematics design of suspension according to chosen tyre and according to improvement of car ability of monopost Dragon 6

The diploma thesis deals with a data analysis of the Formula Student race car. An attention is given for both, vehicle and driver. Processes of braking, turning and balance of car are analysed. Special attention is given to the dampers positions while driving and their settings. Dampers velocity histograms and ride frequencies graph are put together. Algorithms in MATLAB are suggested to reduce requested time for analysis. Scripts for displaying important channels are made. Analyzed data are used to create events which accelerate orientation in record and tell the most important information.

This diploma thesis focuses on proposing construction and manufacture plans of a hybrid frame chassis consisting of a tubular space frame and a monocoque made of composite materials. Next, it discusses the simulation of the chassis via FEM analysis and also measuring of its torsional stiffness. In the final part of the thesis, the frame is compared to its older predecessor, which is made solely of a tubular space frame, and its advantages and disadvantages are evaluated.
