초록

최근 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있는 고성능 UHP (Ultra High Performance)타이어의 경우 낮은 편평비로 인해 일반 타이어 보다 사이드월 고무에 가혹한 변형이 발생하게 된다. 사이드월 고무의 변형이 지속적으로 발생할 경우 피로손상이 축적되어 피로파괴 현상이 나타날 수 있다. 따라서 차량 주행 중 발생하는 안전사고 예방을 위한 사이드월 고무의 내구성능 평가가 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 타이어 사이드월 고무의 내구성능에 대한 설계 기준 및 연구는 국내외적으로 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 타이어 사이드월 고무 2종에 대하여 인장시험과 피로시험을 수행하여 변형률에너지밀도를 이용한 수명예측식을 제시하였다. 또한, 저연비 타이어의 주행가능 예상거리를 도출하여 내구성능 만족여부를 검토하였다.

In the case of the UHP (Ultra high performance) tire that the demand has increased rapidly, compared with the commonly used tire, severe deformation has been observed because of the low aspect ratio. When repeated deformations are applied to the sidewall rubber, accumulated fatigue damage may cause fatigue failure. Thus, the evaluation of the durability of the tire sidewall rubber has become a very important issue to prevent accidents that occur while the vehicle is running. However, the research and design criteria for the durability performance of the tire sidewall rubber hardly exist. In this study, we suggest a lifetime prediction formula using strain energy density obtained by performing tensile tests and fatigue tests on two different kinds of the tire sidewall compounds. Additionally, the applicability of our findings for low fuel consumption tires was reviewed by converting the fatigue life of the sidewall rubber into the expected mileage of the tire.
