Development of GUI-based Program for Optimum Design of Double-ply Tire Sidewall Contour

Double-ply로 구성된 타이어 측벽형상 최적설계를 위한 GUI기반 프로그램 개발

In this paper, the optimum design of tire sidewall contour consisted of double plies for improving automobile maneuverability and tire durability is considered and a GUI program is developed for the purpose of the practical design. Each improvement of maneuverability and durability depends on the cord tension and strain energy distribution of tire sidewall. Satisfing trade-off method, which requires the judgment of aspiration levels, is used for the multi-objective optimization problem. Also, this paper presents the application to the practical sidewall contour design with the GUI program developed using visual Fortran.
