This thesis aims to clarify technological procedures used to produce wooden automobile bodies. It presents Morgan Motor company, only company still continualy producing cars with ash tree framework and whose products are gradualy gaining more and more popularity. Core part of this thesis focuses on detailed description of technological procedure for veneer-coating Skiff-type bodies, used in past by french company Labourdette and on the same procedure with usage of modern materials and technologies, as it is done in Jiří Hemzals company. The thesis summerises knowledge of materials properties and principles necessary to sustain quality needed for producing wooden automobile bodies.

The master´s thesis is focused on construction of one-man car body of sports car. Work contains aerodynamic analysis of car body too and optimization of the CAD model.

This master's thesis deals with measurement of torsional rigidity of a vehicle body with the application of TRITOP optical measuring system. The measurement was made in dynamic test-room of Škoda Auto a.s. together with a methodology used by this company. In the light of the objective comparison of both measuring methods and their accuracy, the optimal method of measurment and evaluation was made.

A dissertation deals with small single-placed car body design (so-called microcar cathegory). The new design is based on the undercart and the engine of serial Mitsuoka Kit Car. Therefore the aim belongs to re-design tasks. Analytical part of the dissertation deals with two basic questions influencing the final draft. The Corporate identity at first and a problematic of the target group level of aesthetical perception linked to preferred design. On grounds of analysis the core values for new design have been set down. The particular values have been presented with the help of existing reference objects from the field of automotive design. This part also includes a questionnairy, which had been focused on prefered design conception. Due to low microcars topic awareness in Czech Republic, the questionnairy had informational character and the final design conception has been chosen on the base of functional aspects analysis. The final design development, shown on sketches and basic software renderings, is based on gradual steps that lead to the core values expression with regards to input parameters and basic design rules as well. The final design is introduced together with description of its technical solution and detailed design. The solution respects the mentioned target group and the institution Corporate Identity.

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of the degree of damage done to the vehicle‘s body paint varnish by bird droppings; with respect to the influence of the pollution time on the thickness of the layer of lacquer. The first chapter deals with the importance of varnish and other layers of body protection, types of body varnish damage, painting technology, lacquer defects, bird droppings and its effects on the varnish of the vehicle‘s body. The second chapter is dedicated exclusively to the description, planning and measurement of the coated layers on the vehicle’s body contaminated with bird feces.

This diploma thesis deals with bonded hybrid joints which are used for connecting parts of modern coachwork. Firstly, the thesis describes in general the process of production of the whole coachwork, from cutting of the blanks to the surface treatment including the analysis of the used materials. Subsequently, the problem of joining body parts through adhesives, but also by welding, soldering or other methods is discussed. Another part of this thesis is dedicated to an experiment in which the qualities of bonded hybrid joints were determined. Different ways of realizing the joint have been made which differed in the size of the glued surface, in the welding methods and in the process of their creation. The produced joints were tested for their strength and quality.

The Master’s Thesis is focused on stamping of sheet metal parts. The analyzed part is a structural part of an automobile body. The part is made of DC04 (cold rolled mild steel) material. The annual pruduction volume is 10.000 pieces. Theoretical background research is a knowledge base for design of tooling that can produce parts which meet quality requirements. There are three technological processes proposed in the Thesis. An economic analysis identifies the optimal technological process for the production volume. The thesis contains a complex analysis that confirmes material formability. Computer simulation verifies the part design, material and technological parameters of the forming process.

The project elaborated in frame of engineering studies of the subject M-STG Mechanical Engineering describes elementary methods of joining in the automotive industry. Moreover, it inquires into optimization of laser brazing on the back cover ŠKODA Superb. During the optimization of the process six samples were designed, and the adjustment of the brazing parameters were performed. Consequently, the samples were evaluated by tensile and metallographic tests. Finally, EDS analysis was performed and visual assessment as well.
