To produce thin grooves in the tread portion of tires, tire molds contain a multitude of sipes, which are thin metal inserts that project into the tread rubber during molding and curing. The geometric design and location of sipes is based on tire performance as well as appearance. A completèfamily' of tires, typically consisting of a dozen or more tire sizes with similar tread designs, will req...

In view of the problems that fuselage inclines and driving straightness is difficult to guarantee due sinking sliding wheels when high-clearance plant protection machine working in paddy field, this paper takes as research object, based on field environment, establishes a prediction model wheel subsidence through derivation, explores influence different parameters characteristics experiments, s...

high volume of waste tires, problems associated with their disposal, aesthetic problems, and the expansion and innovation of reuse of used tire products is being addressed aggressively. Chipped or shredded tires are being used for a wide variety of products, including playground covers, doormats, roadbed, fill, shoes, and aggregate substitute in septic system drainfields. This Analysis of Tire ...

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) was used for the evaluation of mechanical properties of automobile tires. The tire on wheel disc was fixed on the holder and its vibration was generated by loudspeaker. Vibrational field of the whole tire was visualized by ESPI and recorded into PC. Natural frequencies of various vibrational modes were measured and results were compared with thos...

To effectively improve the tire grounding behaviors of wheelchair robots, an analytical method is proposed to analyze and optimize the tire grounding safety. Firstly, taking the cushion and tires as the vibration isolation elements with stiffness and damping, the vertical vibration model of the human-wheelchair robot is established. Then, taking the random excitation as the typical input, the f...

The dissipated energy from periodic deformation is regarded as the main reason for heat generation and temperature rise inside the tire domain. However, the mechanical behavior of rubber parts is highly temperature dependent. In most performed investigations, the influence of thermal effects on stress/ deformation fields of pneumatic tires is ignored and just temperature distribution is conside...

ABSTRACT The issue of environmental protection has led researchers to pay serious attention to waste tires. Civil engineers have found that waste tires can increase bearing capacity, earth slope stability, and other useful applications in civil engineering. In this paper, a series of experimental modeling have been performed to investigate the effect of waste tires on increasing the stabi...

Magnetic fields emanate from radial tires due to the presence of reinforcing belts which are made of magnetized steel wire. When these tires spin, they generate alternating magnetic fields of extremely low frequency (ELF), usually below 20 Hz. The fundamental frequency of these fields is determined by tire rotation rate and has a sinusoidal waveform with a high harmonic content. The static fiel...

Nonlinear vehicle control allocation is achieved by distributing the control task to tire forces with nonlinear saturation constraints. The overall vehicle control is accomplished by developing a hierarchical scheme. First, a high-level sliding mode control with adaptive gain is considered to obtain the body force/moment for stable vehicle motion. The proposed controller only requires online ad...
