This thesis deals with the problems of reliability of steel members sensitive to imperfections. Formulas for nonlinear analysis of compressed and bended members are derived. For compressed elements, there is described the issue of buckling, for bended elements it is lateral-torsional buckling. Then a statistical analysis of reliability of these problems is performed and also comparison with the approach described in Eurocode 3.

Configuration of the powertrain of a flat-eight engine with ordered basic parameters is the theme of this thesis which name is Powertrain design of an eight-cylinder aircraft engine. This thesis occupies with configuration design of the crank mechanism and firing order, balancing of centrifugal and reciprocating forces and their moments, conceptual design of crankshaft and its stress calculation. This thesis also puts mind to calculation of torsional vibrations.

This thesis is occupied with configuration design of the crank mechanism and firing order, balancing of centrifugal and reciprocating forces thein moments, conceptual design crankshaft and its stress calculation of torsional vibrations.

This thesis named Powertrain of an four-cylinder aircraft engine dealing with configuration of the powertrain of a flat four-cylinder engine with ordered basic parameters. The thesis is focused on configuration design of the crank machanism and sequence ignition, balancing of centrifugal and reciprocating forces and their moment, conceptual design of crankshaft and its stress calculation. The thesis describing calculation of torsional vibration as well.

The goal of this diploma thesis was to create optimalizated frame design for Formula Student/SAE. Basic requirements were, that new design must meet the newest Formula Student/SAE rules and other various requirements. In the thesis are built up an overview of most important rules and also an overview of previous frame designs. Next are described design process of the new frame and its stress analysis in FEM software. Main attention is given to analysis of torsional stiffness. The results of analysis are compared to previous frame designs and to parameters of Formula Ford. There are also given recommendations and other possibilities for further frame design development.

This thesis deals with design concept of the electric car. At first, vehicle dynamics was solved in program MathCad. The components were selected from the obtained results. This was followed by a proposal layout design and vehicles main dimensions design. The frame was created in program ProEngineer, and then imported into ANSYS. Simulation of torsional rigidity was made in ANSYS by FEM.

This diploma thesis deals with description of the design of the rear of the vehicle structure of Formula Student processed by using a 3D CAD system. Formula have to fulfill all requirements Formula Student rules. The requirements and rules are given by building of engine and other considered engine components. The final version of the design of the rear part is assembled with the supplied front and the computational model is created to simulate the torsional stiffness of the FEM system. Another analysis model is created for a foreign supplied frame construction. Both of these frames are in terms of torsional stiffness evaluated and mutually compared. There are also mentioned selected Formula Student rules and overview of the formula frames and their overview.

The aim of this work is to design the crankshaft fork unconventional six-cylinder with offset pivots, the torque balance, modal analysis, vibration analysis of torsional and torsional vibration damper design, stress analysis using FEM.

The aim of this thesis is to design a powertrain of unconvential V-6 diesel engine with balancing shift with angel of cylinders’s axis 90 degrees and crank pin ofset of 30 degrees. The thesis provides an analysis of balance of inertial forces and their moments, layout of counterbalances on crankshaft and balancing shaft. It also provides a layout of discrete model of torsional cranksaft mechanism and layout of rubber damper of torsional oscillations.

The purpose of this thesis is design an unconventional powertrain V-6 engine with cylinder opening lines offset 90 degrees and 30 degrees of crank pin offset. It is an analysis of the balance of the crank mechanism, proposed unbalance, build a model of discrete torsion system, design of viscous torsional vibration damper, compares the results of the calculation of strength without crankshaft damper and with damper.
