Contract research in cooperation with Škoda Auto

Collaboration of CTU FME with Škoda auto a.s. - examples of contract based R&D
Efficient Cooling of Automotive Components Using Synthetic Jets Research of efficient Cooling of Automotive Components Using Synthetic Jets found that selected components used in the automotive environment can be cooled using synthesized flows with higher efficiency than using standard fans. Moreover, it is a solution without rotating parts with lower production costs and lower failure rates. The results were experimentally verified.
Categorization of road dust Methods of categorization of road dust for the purpose of vehicles air filters have been validated and other simpler methods have also been proposed and tested.
Possibilities of processing sandwich sheets (Litecor) using welding and forming methods Research into the weldability of deep-drawing and high-strength steel sheets used for the production of automotive body components, in particular by resistance spot welding and of LITECOR sandwich material, consisting of two steel sheets (HC220Y + ZE), between which a polymeric material (PE / PA) is placed. The research of the formability of LITECOR® sandwich material mainly focused on bending behavior, deep drawing, and cohesion of surface sheet with a plastic core.
Formability of steel plates for the automotive industry
Wear of electrodes in resistance welding depending on the type of final surface layer of welded sheets
Quality control of weld joints of the aluminum alloy engine cover
