“…dimensions from the previous research model. Upon comparing with previous research, it is clear that the parabola spoke structure exhibits superior compressive strength[31,32]. Notably, it outperforms pneumatic tyres, far exceeding the vertical stiffness of 226.415 N mm −1 at an inflation pressure of 250 Kpa with 299.702 N mm −1 , also surpassing other tested non-pneumatic tyres from a comparative research paper.…”

For more than a century, tires have been an essential part of automobiles, offering support and traction. With technological advancements, a new type of tire known as the airless tire or non-pneumatic tire is. making a significant impact on the market. Despite its innovation, this novel tire lacks experience, experiences heightened complexity and faces challenges in vehicle adaptability and variable load capacity. The aim of this research paper is to offer a new spokes design that can outperform the conventional honeycomb and diamondspokes tires, in terms of load bearing capacity. While being less complex and customizable for various vehicles and load capacities. This research is structured into two phases. During phase 1 the spokes design selection is carried out and in phase 2 the material selection and analysis with an upscaled version is conducted. Through the research findings in phase 1, we compared both the diamond and honeycomb spokes with the new designs in terms of total deformation, maximum shear stress, equivalent (von-mises) stress and maximum principal elastic strain and find the design which suits the objectives. Then use the phase 2 analysis to find the most appropriate. polyurethane durometer reading material for a bus tire. This acknowledges the adaptability of the design from a car tire to a bus tire. This paper provides valuable data regarding spokes design, material selection, design. optimization and design standardization.

This study examines the impact of the reversing interlock module on the energy intensity of manual wheelchair propulsion while considering the need for the module to cooperate with wheels exhibiting significant roundness deviations. The aim was to determine the additional energy demand caused by the module and analyze the effect of the number of one-sided ribs in flexible rollers on energy consumption. Experiments were conducted on a specially designed test bench to measure the torque, power, and energy required to rotate the wheels. The results show that the use of flexible rollers reduces energy consumption compared to rigid rollers—by 8% at a clamping force of 10 N and by 13% at 100 N. A linear relationship between the clamping force and energy savings, along with a significant influence of the roller rotation direction, was observed. When rotating in the less rigid direction, a 17% reduction in energy intensity was achieved. These findings suggest that incorporating flexible rollers in the reversing interlock module can significantly enhance the energy efficiency of wheelchairs.

Non-pneumatic tires (NPTs) have garnered significant attention due to their advantages, such as energy efficiency, safety, versatile applications, and superior performance, compared to traditional rubber-based pneumatic tires (PTs). This mini review provides a concise overview of NPTs, beginning with their definition, structural design, and classification based on structural variations. The review then examines recent advancements in the materials used for NPTs, including those for the tread, elastic support structure, skeleton, and adhesives, with a focus on their specific properties. Furthermore, it summarizes various manufacturing techniques such as compression molding, centrifugal casting, injection molding, 3D printing, and mechanical assembly. Lastly, the review outlines the general manufacturing procedures of NPTs, discusses the challenges currently faced by the technology, and offers insights into future development directions. This mini review aims to support NPT researchers and practitioners, particularly in the fields of process and materials engineering, in advancing their work on NPTs.
