Hello
I am these days busy with designing a wheel using FEA. I use a steel where yield strength of 235 MPa and UTS of 340 MPa.
According to FEA, I see some regions with stresses above 235MPa (somewhere around 240 MPa) and those regions are moved to elastic-plastic region. In rim designs what is...
I would like to know the range to be maintained, in LIFT RATIO design parameter of a tire, to overcome seperation.
( The ratio between the mean carcass diameters of cured tire, and the mean carcass diameter on building drum)

I need to know the reason of post curing inflation (PCI)of a tyre.
(Keeping the tire on a rim under pressure for cooling, just after removing from the mould)
How do we decide the time,temperature and pressure on PCI/
I was told that the tire needed to be kept on post curing inflator until...
I have developed a FE model in ABAQUS platform to simulate stress/strain behaviour of a multi piece rim subjected to a radial load.
Model is a rim/tire assembly with axisymmetric element.
I used a finer mesh for the rim and a somewhat coaser mesh for the tire, since I was only focusing on the...
If a structure (eg: a tire) been subjected to an impact, and a static force (with a plunger)until it fails,
Which failure energy be higher, or will they be same.
( Impact force will also be applied using the same plunger to the same position)
If one is different from the other ; Why or How ...
In modeling of radial and axial deformation of tires, I basically look into von misses stress on critical areas in the tire,and most of the times, I do comparisons of mises stresses in different proposals than sticking into their magnitudes.
I would like to know whether there is any predominant...
