Abstract

The design of non-pneumatic tires, which are created by filling the space between the wheel and the tread with elastomeric compounds or polygonal spokes, has become an important research topic in the automotive and aerospace industries. In this study, a system was designed for the design of non-pneumatic tires through the implementation of a generative adversarial network. We specifically examined factors that could impact the design, including the type of non-pneumatic tire, its intended usage environment, manufacturing techniques, distinctions from pneumatic tires, and how spoke design affects load distribution. Using OpenCV, various shapes and spoke configurations were generated as images, and a GAN model was trained on the projected GANs to generate shapes and spokes for non-pneumatic tire designs. The designed non-pneumatic tires were labeled as available or not, and a Vision Transformer image classification AI model was trained on these labels for classification purposes. Evaluation of the classification model show convergence to a near-zero loss and a 99% accuracy rate confirming the generation of non-pneumatic tire designs.

자동차 타이어의 휠과 트레드 사이에 탄성중합체 또는 다각형의 스포크를 채우는 방식으로 제작하는 비공기압 타이어는 자동차 관련 학계 및 항공우주 업계의 중요한 연구 주제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생성형 적대 신경망을 기반으로 비공기압 타이어 디자인을 생성하는 시스템 개발했다. 특히 비공기압 타이어의 종류와 사용 환경, 제작 방식, 공기압 타이어와의 차이점 그리고 스포크 디자인에 따른 하중 전달의 변화 등 디자인에 영향을 미칠만한 변수들에 대한 조사를 실시했다. 이 연구는 OpenCV를 통해 다양한 스포크 형태의 이미지를 만들고, projected GANs에 학습시켜 비공기압 타이어 디자인에 사용될 스포크를 생성했다. 디자인된 비공기압 타이어는 사용 가능 및 불가능으로 레이블링하고, 이를 Vision Transformer 이미지 분류 AI 모델에 학습시켜 분류하도록 하였다. 최종적으로 분류 모델의 평가를 통해 0에 가까운 loss의 수렴, 99%의 정확도를 확인했다. 차후 도형 및 스포크 이미지와 알고리즘을 이용한 디자인이 아닌, 완전 자동화 시스템의 개발과 더 나아가 3D의 물리적 해석 없이 사용 가능한 디자인을 생성하는 것을 목표로 한다.
