Since the beginning of their production, pneumatic tires have experienced tremendous
improvements in structure and materials, becoming the dominant design in the world tires …

Although the construction of block pavements has grown fast in the last decades, there is still
a need for simple tools that could be applied to design them. This paper analyzed and …

Impact force induced by tread pattern is one of the major mechanisms of tire noise; thus, how
to reduce tire impact noise has been an important issue in regard to tire technology. In this …

This paper deals with the review of vehicle hydroplaning. The physics of hydroplaning,
factors influencing hydroplaning and effective methods for preventing hydroplaning have …

In this paper a finite element method (FEM) based parametric design study of the tire profile
shape and belt width is presented. One of the main obstacles that similar studies have faced …

Sažetak Structural optimization by Finite Elements (FE) is proved very effective in tyre
design. For that purpose, major tyre manufacturers use in-house applications. An alternative …

New viscoelastic/viscoplastic material models, such as Bergström-Boyce (BB) model, are
known to bring advantages in finite element analysis (FEA) of rubber-based components. To …

The present paper examines the mechanical characteristics at the boundary of the
distribution of rubber matrix and metal and fabric fibrous materials as a distinct area in the …

In this study, the effect of a passenger car radial tire rim width on its force and moment
characteristics (behavior) and subsequently on a vehicle dynamic performance is …

Tires are the most influential component of the vehicle as they constitute the only contact
between the vehicle and the road and have to generate and transmit forces necessary for …
