Modelování a experimentální ověření chování elastických pneumatických pracovních prvků

Abstract

The dissertation thesis is focused on the research in the field of pneumatic working elements with elastic parts. Into a category of pneumatic motors with elastic working parts belong air bellows, diaphragm motors and fluid muscles. All three types of these motors have some elastic part usually made of rubber. This part is deformed under the pressure of a compressed air or a mass load resulting in a final working effect. In this type of motors are in contact two different elastic environments - the compressed air and the elastic part itself. This fact greatly complicates their theoretical analyses and also all drawn conclusions from the analyses require verification on an experimental device. A significant part of the work is devoted to theoretical analysis of engines, based on which are then compiled and described mathematical models. It also shows the design of the experimental apparatus and methodology for measuring static characteristics. The final section is devoted to comparing simulation results with the experiment, or the manufacturer's catalog.
