1. Design optimization of bucket conveyors

   Design and functioning optimization of bucket conveyers and elevators in accordance with characteristics of transported materials - - velocities vector fields of transported material-aggregates plotting with analysis of the form of buckets.

   Tutor: Malášek Jiří, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

2. Heat Pump based on Stirling Cycle

   Heat pumps repump low temperature heat on higher temperature level on a compressor-type refrigerator basis. Stirling thermodynamic cycle with heat recovery presents highly interesting potential in building of heat pumps.

   Tutor: Kaplan Zdeněk, doc. Ing., CSc.

3. Identification of load influences on working mechanism of transport and handling machines aimed to their optimisation

   The work would be about research of identification of load influences on working mechanism of transport and handling machines. The aim is to create a conception of methodology for simulation and identification of load cases on complex machines like mobile machines that move in terrain. Some measuring of loading and dynamic behaviour will be in experimental parts.

   Tutor: Škopán Miroslav, doc. Ing., CSc.

4. Optimization of material flow simulation in the mass production methods

   Optimization material flow is one of presumption of rational mass production and cost reduction of final product. The work will be aimed for simulation of material flow of vehicle body in car production and at aplication-analysis of system GAF (Gestufte Auftragsfreigabe - "System step by step slackeing") in fy Škoda Auto conditions with post optimalization of this system including its functions. There will be to create the conceptual models and to exekute their analysis at software Plant Simulation and other( AweSim, Matlab) including post verification. The analysis of possibilities and conditions for increases of intensity of material flow will be the working objective at required level reliability its fluency including post verification.

5. Powertrain mechanical loss reduction

   The aim of the work is to develop the new approaches for a solution of powertrain mechanical losses.

   Tutor: Novotný Pavel, prof. Ing., Ph.D.

6. Powertrain Vibration Modelling using Virtual Prototypes

   The aim of dissertation is to develop suitable computational models for a solution of powertrain vibrations and component strengths. The computational models will be applied to the passenger car turbocharged four cylinder SI engine, aircraft turbocharged diesel engine with opposite pistons or tractor four cylinder diesel engine.
