Nylon Tension PID Control During Raw Tire Assembly
… has the best control of nylon tension during raw tire assembly. After nylon application step of the tire building process, the shape of the tire will undergo inflation that causes the nylon layers to expand and produces tension gradient. To overcome such a problem, the process needs to preapply a …

Effects of Tire Attributes on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Realisitic Car-Tire Assembly and the Sensitivity Analysis to Understand the Impact of the Rim Protector
The effect of that the tire has on the overall aerodynamic drag in a car-tire assembly has been studied and deemed considerable from past studies. It has been shown that to know how tire parameters affect the drag on the car-tire assembly, it is important to understand how the vehicle body and the …

Flexible Pavement Dynamic Response Analysis and Validation for Various Tire Configurations
… in the analysis, and assumptions related to tire-pavement contact area and stresses. To address these shortcomings, three-dimensional finite element models were developed and numerical analyses were conducted to calculate pavement responses to two tire configurations: a dual-tire assembly …

The Discursive Commons: The Establishment, "Outside Agitators," And "Communist Subversives" In Gadsden's Depression-Era Political Environment
… of former farmers taking up employment on the tire assembly lines. Concerned with maintaining their position in society, and concerned with building a "bigger" and "better" Gadsden, this hegemonic order used mythic ideas such as the sacrosanct idea of rugged individualism against the people. …

Adjustment factors for MEPDG pavement responses considering three- dimensional analysis and wide-base tire
… critical pavement responses due to pavement-tire interactions. On the other hand, the empirical part refers to the prediction of pavement distress propagation over time using transfer functions. Transfer functions link critical pavement responses to particular pavement distresses. Although …

Mechanical Analyses of Multi-piece Mining Vehicle Wheels to Enhance Safety
… were caused by use of lock rings. Experimental tire and rim base tests were conducted to understand the deflection characteristics of off-the-road tires and to validate the finite element model of a five-piece wheel/tire (sized 29.5-29) assembly. A linear relationship was found between the …

Analysis of tire-pavement interaction and pavement responses using a decoupled modeling approach
The proper understanding of tire-pavement interaction is important for the accurate analysis of load-induced stresses and strains in the pavement structure. This dissertation focuses on the analysis of the mechanism of tire-pavement interaction and the effect of tire-pavement interaction on …

Optimization of lateral position of autonomous truck platoons to improve roadway infrastructure sustainability
… wander while comparing the effects of wide-base tires (WBT) and dual-tire assembly (DTA) on pavement life cycle costs. Historically, research has shown that WBT inflict greater damage on the pavement than do DTAs. However, these two tires have been assumed to have the same wheel wander …
