Comparative Study on the Incorporation of Composite Material for Tyre Computation

  • Chapter
Composite Structures 2

Abstract

Three-dimensional linear elastic orthotropic finite elements were used for the approximation of reinforced tyre materials. Various authors have expressed analytically the elastic constants. In order to decide which of the different methods to find realistic constants can be recommended, three-dimensional FEM computations have been compared to experimentally obtained results of tension tests. It was found that all the different methods lead to equivalent results.

Finally it is shown that the applied three-dimensional element is best suited to investigate all the effects of tyres due to reinforcement.

The work reported in this paper has been supported by the West German Minister of Research and Technology. Experiments were carried out by Continental Gummi Werke AG, Hannover, West Germany.
