Mechanical and Thermal Analysis of Composites Based on Rubbers From Used Tires

Summary : Reuse and recycling of tires at the end of their useful life is an environmental challenge owing to the huge volumes discarded all over the world. This paper tries to give a scientific contribution toward the mechanical recycling of elastomers derived from pre treatment of tires to produce anti-shock tiles and heat-insulating panels for civil applications. Thermal and mechanical results herein reported satisfactorily justify the interest devoted by now to this topic.

基于轮胎非线性特性的汽车动力学问题

长期以来,人们对轮胎的非线性进行了大量的理论与试验研究,总结出各种理论模型与经验模型。利用这些非线性轮胎模型建立汽车动力学的非线性常微分方程组,通过数值积分,可以获得汽车在各种工况条件下的稳态与瞬态转向特性。但这些模型的普遍缺点是不能用于对汽车行驶的稳定性作定性分析。本文提出了一种轮胎非线性侧特性的摄动模型,利用近似解析方法,讨论了轮胎非线性特性对汽车的转向特性、动态响应和汽车行驶稳定性的影响,导     

Terrain classification using intelligent tire

A wheeled ground robot was designed and built for better understanding of the challenges involved in utilization of accelerometer-based intelligent tires for mobility improvements. Since robot traction forces depend on the surface type and the friction associated with the tire-road interaction, the measured acceleration signals were used for terrain classification and surface characterization. To accomplish this, the robot was instrumented with appropriate sensors (a tri-axial accelerometer attached to the tire innerliner, a single axis accelerometer attached to the robot chassis and wheel speed sensors) and a data acquisition system. Wheel slip was measured accurately using encoders attached to driven and non-driven wheels. A fuzzy logic algorithm was developed and used for terrain classification. This algorithm uses the power of the acceleration signal and wheel slip ratio as inputs and classifies all different surfaces into four main categories; asphalt, concrete, grass, and sand. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated using experimental data and good agreements were observed between the surface types and estimated ones.

Microbial desulfurization of ground tire rubber by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

This study focused on the microbial desulfurization of ground tire rubber (GTR) by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, which selected from the soil of an iron mine had strong sulphur oxidizing capacity. GTR was desulfurizated in the modified Silverman medium during the cultivation of T. ferrooxidans for 30 days, and T. ferrooxidans was able to maintain a high biomass. The continuous increase of SO₄²⁻ in the medium indicated that the sulfur on the surface of GTR was oxidized. FTIR-ATR and XPS spectra revealed that a rupture of conjugated CC bonds and a reduction of sulfur content on the surface of GTR had occurred during desulfurization. The sol fraction of GTR increased from its original 4.69%-7.43%. Compared with GTR sheet, desulfurizated GTR (DGTR) sheets had much smoother surfaces, better physical properties, and higher swelling values. NR vulcanizates filled with DGTR (with 10-40 phr loading) had lower crosslink density and better mechanical properties than those filled with GTR at the same loading. The results determined by DMA suggested that NR vulcanizates filled with DGTR had a reduction of molecular chain friction resistance during glass transition and SEM photograph indicated a better interface coherence between DGTR and NR matrix.     

载重子午线轮胎帘线受力的有限元分析

以10.00R20轮胎为原型,针对特定的断面轮廓形状和帘线结构形式建立了轮胎结构计算的有限元模型,着重研究了额定充气压力状态以及受静负荷作用时各部分帘线受力的基本特征。结果表明:(1)充气状态下胎冠部和胎圈部的帘线结构参数之间的相互影响很小,因而在分析设计中可以相对独立地考虑;(2)静负荷作用下帘线受力在接地面附近的分布情况较复杂,尤其是负荷较大时可能出现胎冠中部帘线张力不足甚至受压以及0°带束层边缘受拉力过大的情况,这些对轮胎使用性能不利的受力状况可以通过帘线结构的合理设计来克服。
