帘线角对子午线轮胎力学性能的影响——基于含复杂花纹的轮胎有限元静力分析研究

使用组合模型技术构建了计及复杂胎面花纹且具有不同带束层帘线角的一系列轮胎有限元模型,所有模型沿轮胎周向的网格均是非均匀划分的,在接地区划分得较精细以得到更精确的分析结果;使用多种试验结果与计算结果对比的方法对模型和算法进行了较充分的考评;在此基础上研究了带束层帘线角对静负荷状态下轮胎结构力学性能的影响.研究结果表明,轮胎径向刚度随帘线角的增加而减小,并在帘线角超过25.4°后急剧减小;胎肩部橡胶危险区域的应力应变水平随帘线角的增加先增加后减小,并均在19.4°附近达到最大值.此外,带束层帘线沿横向变角度铺设的轮胎具有较好的力学性能,在保证较高径向刚度的同时,改善了带束层帘线和胎肩部橡胶的受力状况.

提出一种改进的虚裂纹闭合技术（ＶＣＣＴ）对轮胎带束（一咱复合材料结构）不同脱层长度下的应变能释放率进行了计算。将强度裂纹闭合的位移作了一种可变约束施加在变形后的裂纹尖端,约束反力作了裂纹尖端力计算,应变能释放率由裂纹尖端力和约束位移的乘积得到。该方法的优点是简便易行,在物理理解上直观,实施起来方便。本文就用该技术对带束脱层进行了断裂力学分析,给出数值结果,并对带束的脱层寿命进行了评价。     

轮胎磨损颗粒物形貌及产生机理的实验研究

采用自行设计的磨损试验机采集轮胎-路面摩擦副产生的轮胎磨损颗粒物,通过光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)分析和讨论了不同负载、速度和胎压工况影响下磨损颗粒物的表面形貌、粒度及磨损胎面形貌,建立了磨损颗粒物与胎面磨损形态的关系.结果表明:轮胎磨损颗粒物的粒度和数量类似正态分布,粒度主要集中在100~300μm.轮胎磨损颗粒物的主要产生机理是胎面疲劳剥落,形式主要为片状剥落和卷曲磨损共存,卷曲磨损会导致更多的磨损颗粒物脱离.载荷可使两种磨损形式的主导地位发生转变.接触界面应力提高会使团絮状胎面磨损颗粒物增多,速度增大会明显减小磨损颗粒物粒度.对小于10μm颗粒物来说,工况对其数量影响的主次顺序依次为速度、胎压和载荷.本研究可以为减少因轮胎磨损而导致的磨屑次生危害提供可供借鉴的理论指导.

水冷却对高温花岗岩的细观损伤及动力学性能影响

为探讨高温花岗岩经水冷却后的细观结构损伤及动态力学性能,对水冷却后高温花岗岩开展波速和核磁共振测试,分离式霍普金森压杆冲击试验,以及冲击破碎试样的扫描电镜观察,分析比较不同状态下花岗岩波速、孔隙度和动力学参数的变化规律。研究发现:随着温度升高,经水冷却处理后高温花岗岩波速非线性下降,大孔径孔隙度分量增大,且水冷却后试样的孔隙孔径尺寸和数量均大于自然冷却;水冷却后高温花岗岩动力学参数呈现出随着温度升高,峰值应力减小,峰值应变增大,弹性模量则先增大后减小的规律;由于水冷却使高温花岗岩表面温度急剧降低,产生额外的温度应力,花岗岩内部损伤加剧,表现出更低的波速与峰值应力;而水的冷淬作用一定程度上提高了表层花岗岩的硬度,降低了高温后花岗岩的塑性能力,与自然冷却相比水冷却后花岗岩的峰值应变减小,弹性模量增大,表现出脆性破坏特征。在温度低于400℃时,冷却方式对冲击裂纹影响不大,随着温度升高到800℃,自然冷却后花岗岩冲击断面呈蜂窝状,而水冷却后冲击断面则相对平整。     

应力调整对石英玻璃珠低速冲击破碎行为的影响

结合高速摄影技术,应用SHPB加载装置,分别使用钢制、铝制和有机玻璃制3种透射杆,对直径约7.90、11.80、15.61 mm 3种尺寸的石英玻璃珠进行了低速冲击实验。根据不同透射杆条件下的玻璃珠破碎过程中的载荷-位移曲线,结合有限元软件计算玻璃珠在冲击作用下载荷的变化情况以及实验过程中玻璃珠的应变,探讨了应力调整对玻璃珠破碎过程的影响。结果表明:相同冲击条件作用下,改变透射杆的材料,会改变玻璃珠破碎过程中的载荷分布,即透射端边界波阻抗的改变会导致反射波发生改变,从而导致玻璃珠内部载荷发生变化;透射杆为铝材和有机玻璃材质时,玻璃珠在破碎过程中的载荷明显下降,在加载过程中伴随着垫块的变形,玻璃珠内部的应力调整时间变长;透射杆为钢杆时,玻璃珠的应变主要表现为两端最大,越靠近中间应变越小,对于透射杆为铝杆和有机玻璃杆的玻璃珠,透射端局部出现了卸载行为。采用有机玻璃透射杆之后,局部应力和变形降低的结果使得玻璃珠在经受较大的变形之后发生破碎,表明玻璃珠的破碎行为由局部变形和局部变形梯度共同控制。     

轮胎钢丝帘线拉伸力学性能的实验研究

对两种结构类型的钢丝帘线在单向拉伸和循环加载下的力学性能进行了实验研究。结果表明：帘线的结构形式对拉伸力学性能（包括摩擦能量损耗）有显著影响。不考虑载荷很小的情况时，普通结构帘线可近似为弹脆性材料，高伸长结构帘线却可以产生较大的塑性变形；循环载荷下，普通结构帘线几乎没有摩擦能量损耗，而高伸长结构帘线不仅有明显的摩擦能量损耗，而且随着循环应力幅值的增加，摩擦能量损耗呈加速增加的趋势；在循环应力幅值较大时高伸长结构帘线还出现了类似于高温下循环硬化金属材料的循环蠕变现象。文章还讨论了高伸长结构帘线由于塑性变形而引起循环蠕变现象的机理。

Tire tread pattern design trigger on the stress distribution over rigid surfaces and soil compaction

Studies comparing the structural differences of tires have not qualitatively or quantitatively considered the effects of tread geometry on tire behaviour or the interactions of the tire with the surface. Therefore, to determine the effects of different tire tread patterns on the stress distribution of the tire and soil compaction, we compared the structural behaviours of a high-flotation tractive-tread (TT) tire and a smooth-tread (ST) tire. The experiments were conducted over a rigid and over a deformable surface. The results from the rigid surface shows the influences of the tread pattern and sidewalls is dependent of the loads. Over the deformable surface, the contact area of the TT tire was larger than that of the ST tire. The inflation pressure (IP) was mainly responsible for the load support before the soil reached its maximum deformation. Next, the tread and sidewalls exhibited the same behaviour as observed on the rigid surface. In addition, we observed alterations in the balloon point with the tread geometry and the type of surface due to changes in the contact pressure. With carcass deformation, the volume of the tire was visibly reduced, which indicated that the IP could increase.     

Tire deflection and contact studies

Dimensional variations of pneumatic tires influence off-road locomotion and more particularly their aptitude for the transmission of high propulsive torques to the tire-soil contact area.Height variation of the tire when load increases is linear and allows a classification of the casings by means of the angular coefficients for the straight lines expression this relationship.Variation in the level where the enlarging of the torus is maximum is directly connected with the applied load and inversely proportional to the inflation pressure. Ply rating and inflation pressure define a stiffness coefficient for a tire, while the ratio of height to width under load specifies a deformation coefficient, a squash rate and a flattening rate. These three parameters characterize the elasticity of the tire and so are connected to the effective tire-soil contact areas.Compressive effects of the vertical stress as well as the transmitted torques are in relation with tire deformability. The study points to the need for better specification of the parameters for the choice, or for the definition of the desired characteristics for manufacturing, of tires.Experiments already done on superficial compaction effects concluded with a new type of cross section for the tire called the camel shoe.     

Agricultural tire deformation in the 2D case by finite element methods

The mechanical characteristics of the rubber tire and the interaction between a tire and a rigid surface were investigated by a two-dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) model. The FE model consists of a rigid rim and a rigid contact surface which interact with the elastic tire. Four distinct sets of elastic parameters are used to represent beads, sidewall, tread and lugs. Several sets of tire loads and inflation pressures were applied to the FE model as boundary conditions, together with various displacements and friction conditions. The deformation of the tire profile, the tire displacements in the vertical and lateral directions, the normal contact pressures, the frictional forces and the stress distribution of the tire components were investigated by the 2D FE model under the above boundary conditions. The calculated tire deflections were compared with the measured data. The results show a good fit between calculated and measured data, especially at high load and inflation pressure. The comparison shows that the FE analysis is suitable to predict aspects of the tire performance like its deflection and interactions with the contact surface. Compared with the experimental methods, the FE methods show many advantages in the prediction of tire deformation, contact pressure and stress distribution.     

Reevaluation of the adhesive relationship between the tire and the soil

The author proved in an earlier article that the shear diagram is not in accord with its mechanical definition. The shear stress cannot be zero at the beginning of the initial rising portion of the curve. Shearing is not an increasing loading process, rather it is a limiting case to which a finite shear stress belongs. On the other hand the sheared surface varies under the tire. There are kinematic reasons for this. Points on the tire surface describe a looped cycloid and they slip in a backward direction (opposite to the direction of travel) while contacting the soil. Thus the driving force, which points in the direction of travel, is the product of the shear stress of finite magnitude and the sheared area. The latter increases proportionally with slip. The author describes his equation which is based on the principles discussed above. He supports his theory with a numerical example.
