Pressure Function Method in Tyre Structure Design

Abstract

The pressure function method being different from traditional (experienced) design method. Natural balance outline design method is a tyre structure design method. Based on mathematics and mechanics reasonings, the structure and shape of the tyre were controlled by pressure function and then the structure design was further achieved. The mathematic-physical equations of the pressure function method were established. According to numerical calculation, the reasonable structure of tyre and the prediction of tyre-inflated shape could be accomplished. The pressure function method can reduce the cost and improve the design efficiency.

Prediction of Tire Inflated Shape Based on Pressure Function Method

“…5, the inflated shape designed by using the pressure function method agree well with the reality, and meet the actual requirements near the tire shoulder. [1,6,8] .…”
