Tires are a key sub-system of vehicles that have a big responsibility for comfort, fuel consumption and traffic safety. However, current tires are just passive rubber elements which do not contribute actively to improve the driving experience or vehicle safety. The lack of information from the tire during driving gives cause for developing an intelligent tire. Therefore, the aim of the intellig...

One of the great enemies of rubber compounds is heat. Heat will cause chemical and physical degradation of vulcanized rubber as well as a considerable loss in its strength. A major source of heat generation in a tire is due to internal friction resulting from the viscoelastic deformation of the tire as it rolls along the road. Another source of heat generation in a tire is due to its contact fr...

The hysteresis loss theory of rolling resistance is developed for solid rubber wheelchair tires. The analysis is used to correlate test data for a clay-filled natural rubber and a polyurethane tire material. A discussion of tire rolling work, hysteresis loss factor measurement, and rolling loss measurement is presented. An example calculation of rolling resistance for a polyurethane tire is giv...

The pneumatic tire slip phenomena in vehicle driving system have been investigated for 100 years. Many models describe the –road force generation base on it, but literature we can find various definition of slip. In this paper authors present most known model and definitions discuss consequences choice them. which is combination to road friction carrying by deformable running elements are getti...

Large amounts of rubber particles are dispersed into the environment due to tire wear. The rubber contains a wide range of chemicals, including several of environmental concern. The purpose of this thesis, which is based on six papers [I–VI], was to assess the ecotoxicological hazard and risk associated with tire wear particles, with a main focus on the aquatic environment. A method was develop...

It is uncommon for tire explosion related injuries on the lower extremity. The bilateral lower extremities were injured by tire explosion when the patient was seated in a bus. She sustained an open fracture with partial bone loss in the right calcaneus (a comminuted fracture in the right ankle joint) and a closed comminuted fracture in the left tibia and fibula. This damage was caused by uncont...

We are studying a hydraulic system design and vehicle dynamic modeling for a development of tire roller system, because those are very important in analysis of tire roller. Generally, tire roller is one of the useful machines in a road construction field and it technically applied for many other construction fields. Also, we conceptualize of new hydraulic and traction system, and define about t...

Hydroplaning is a unique phenomenon in which the water on a wet runway or highway is not displaced from the nominal tire-ground contact area by a rolling tire or by a moving but nonrotating (full-skidding) tire at a rate fast enough to allow the tire to make contact with the ground surface over its complete nominal footprint area, as would the case of operation on a dry surface. When hydroplani...

This work presents a single-chip sub-mm3 wireless pressure sensor suitable for tire pressure monitoring. The dynamic behavior and safety of an automobile tire is closely dependent on its inflation pressure: maintaining the manufacturerrecommended pressure is essential to prevent tire failure, provide stability, improve fuel efficiency and tire-life, and to reduce CO2 emissions [1]. Thus, Tire-P...
