The diploma thesis deals with the optimization of final position of overlaps on a forged cam. This part is manufactured in Šroubárna Kyjov, spol. s r.o. The cam is made from ČSN 14 109 (100Cr6) steel. The thesis is focused on the optimization of overlaps arising due to pressed burrs on the edges of the semifinished forging. Currently, the final position of these overlaps is very close to the edge of the pre-forged hole of the cam. Undesired chipping of material occurs during machining of the hole to the exact dimension. The final position of the overlaps is optimized by using the numerical simulation in Simufact Forming 15.0, including a verification simulation for optimal parameter settings. Various diameters of semifinished products, turned tools, and modification of shapes of the tools are tested in the thesis to prevent occurrence of the overlaps in undesired positions.

This thesis presents a tool design for production of embossments into the bottom part of the agricultural silo made of Dx51D material. The research analysis all technologies used for embossing, that is cutting and shallow drawing. This is followed by a chapter on simulation. The tool design itself is described. Its principle is based on tools for punching machines. The upper half of the tool is composed of a weldment to be clamped into pressing machine, into which are mounted functional parts in the form of inserts. The lower tool consists of several bolted plates, punches and a holding plate, which is located on the springs. In order to achieve correct design, necessary calculations were carried out and it was all confirmed by simulation in ANSYS. The two tool halfs are guided by pins attached at the edges of the lower tool. The technical - economical evaluation compares the work of the proposed tool with other possibilities of embossing.

The aim of this work is to assess the possibilities of using numerical simulation tools in the process of laser welding of the guide rail of a car seat. In the diploma thesis, a description of the components and the problem, which consists in the deformation of the groove of the guide rail, was made. A description was made of the manufacturing operations that the components go through. The positives of selected welding methods were evaluated and the choice of those used in production was justified. A description of the issues of laser welding, deformation and the use of simulation tools was made. The influence of individual production operations was evaluated in terms of the size and nature of deformations. Using the Visual – Mesh, Visual – Weld and Visual – Assembly simulation tools, which are products of the French company ESI Group, the same state of the simulated and real process was achieved. Subsequently, a proposal for the elimination of deformations and its verification using a simulation tool could be approached. The use of a spacer wedge, which acts on the most deformed places of the groove, was proposed. By its application, the resulting deformations were eliminated or significantly reduced. In the last part of the work, a technical and economic evaluation was made, taking into account the current global crisis and the important role of the automotive industry.

The thesis presents an analysis and optimization of the manufacturing process of a part using the technology of parallel hydroforming. Two circular blanks made of DC01 steel with a thickness of 1 mm serve as a semi-manufactured part. In one of the blanks, the supply of the forming medium is constructed using Flowdrill technology. Subsequently, the two blanks are laser welded together and then formed. Numerical simulation using PAM-STAMP software was used to analyse the manufacturing process. This analysis provided information on wall thinning, deformation size, critical points on the product and springback. The numerical simulation was verified on the basis of comparison with an experiment. The criterion for verification was the course of the thickness of the part. Based on the results of the simulation, an optimization is performed in the thesis. It consists in determining the minimum required pressure of the forming medium for pressing the part, particularly for different distances between the two formed sheets.

Tento projekt se zabývá optimalizací chladicích kanálků nového vrtáku navrženého společností SECO Tools pro obrábění titanové slitiny Ti-6Al-4V. Cílem tohoto projektu je optimalizovat průměr a polohu chladicích kanálků na hřbetu tak, aby se snížila teplota vrtáku a tím i životnost nástroje. Nový vrták je použit pro provedení vrtacích zkoušek s použitím konvenční řezné kapaliny (emulze s 7% koncentrací) při tlaku 40 barů. Získané výsledky jsou porovnány s výsledky získanými pomocí dostupného standardního vrtáku od společnosti SECO Tools pro vrtání obrobku Ti-6Al-4V. Teplotní CFD model je vytvořen pro různé hodnoty vstupních tlaků kapaliny pomocí turbulentího modelu k- SST a tepelného zatížení vypočítaného na základě vrtacích zkoušek. Výsledky pro standardní a prototypové vrtáky jsou navzájem porovnávány, s ohledem na průtok, teplotu vrtáku, rychlost kapaliny a přenos tepla do MWF. Následně je model použit k ověření optimalizovaných návrhů.

The aim of this thesis is to research the field of water distribution system monitoring and modeling such system. In the next section the thesis describes a part of the water distribution system which is located in Pardubice district, specifically south of town Přelouč. With knowledge from the done research a hydraulic model will be done. This model made in EPANET interface will be calibrated and verified using data, which was acquired by the administrator of the system VAK Pardubice a.s. Afterwards new pipelines will be added to simulate the future situation accordingly to the area plans of the cencerned towns. Furthermore another aim is to simulate the requirements made towards the water distribution system in the future in case all the areas in area plan will be completely used. This will result into creation of forward looking hydraulic model which will show possible weaknesses of the water distribution system. In case of any shortcomings, according measures will be designed for future use.

This diploma thesis deals with optimalization of the injection process of the part and its implementation into serial production. In the first step, the injection mold was tested and injection parameters were initially defined. In the next step, simulations were created in the CADMOULD program. These simulations calculated theoretical injection parameters and these were compared with the parameters set on the injection molding machines. Then, the shape measurement protocols were prepared, according to which the shapes in the cavities of the injection mold were optimized. Finally stress tests were performed, which detected problems in the injection process.

This thesis focuses on the storage location assignment problem using modern meta-heuristic techniques combined with realistic simulation. A graphical tool implemented as part of this work is capable of warehouse model creation, generation of synthetic customer orders, optimization of product allocation using state of the art techniques, extensive warehouse simulation, and a pathfinder capable of finding the shortest path for orders going through the system. The work presents the comparison between different approaches based on many parameters to reach the most efficient allocation of products to warehouse slots. The author conducted tests on an experimental warehouse featuring almost twice the throughput -- 57%. The benefit of this work is a possibility to create model of an already built warehouse and its simulation and optimization, driving impact on the throughput of the warehouse, saving the user's resources, or helping him in planning and bottle-neck identification. Furthermore, this thesis introduces a new approach to warehouse optimization and new optimization criteria.
