The vibrational characteristics of a radial-ply (155SR13 4PR) and a biased-ply tire (6.15-134PR) were investigated for examining the effects of tires with different structure on the ride characteristics of the vehicle. The natural frequencies at the tread band, mode shapes, and damping factors of two tires at the state of plane vibration were determined experimentally. The test work was performed at four levels of the inflation pressure, ranging from 171.7 kPa to 245.2 kPa, and three levels of the vertical load, deviating by 10% from the standard load designated by the Department of Transportation of the United States of America. The following results were drawn by the analysis of the test results: 1. The first-order natural frequencies of the radial-ply and the biased-ply tires at the tread band were 112 Hz and 159 Hz, respectively, at the state o f the free vibration when the inflation pressure of 196.2 kPa was applied. It was known that the biased-ply tire has higher resonant frequency than the radial-ply tire and the natural frequencies of the both tires move to the high frequency range as t he inflation pressure is increased. 2. The vibration modes of both tires were quite different. No big difference in mode shapes was examined as the inflation pressure was increased. But the natural frequencies of two tires were changed. For the radial-ply tire, no difference in mode shape was found whether the vertical load was applied or not. But a significant difference in mode shape was examined for the biased-ply tire. 3. Any difference was not found in damping factor as the different inflation pressures were applied. 4. When no vertical load was applied, damping factors of the radial-ply and biased-ply tire at the state of the natural vibration ranged from 2.6 to 5.9%, and from 4.1 to 7.8%, respectively. It was estimated that the radial-ply tire would have better cushioning than the biased-ply tire since the vertical spring rate of the radial-ply tire was much less than that of the biased-ply tire, even though the damping effect of the radial-ply tire was smaller than that of the biased-ply tire.

포장 설계기준에서 중요한 요인은 응력과 변형률 분포도이다. 합리적인 응력과 변형률 분포도를 달성하기 위한 차량타이어의 접촉면적과 공기압은 매우중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이동하중 하에서 연성포장의 점탄성 특성에 관한 내용을 다루고 있으며 현장 측정시험을 통하여 실제 도로의 종횡변형률을 수치해석 결과와 비교분석 하였다. 포장거동에 대한 차량이동하중의 영향을 적절히 모사하기 위하여 단계하중을 이용한 3차원 유한요소 해석이 수행되었다. 점탄성 해석을 위하여 아스팔트 혼합물의 이완계수, E(t), 가 실험실에서 제작된 시료의 실험으로부터 측정되었다. 현장조사 결과에 의하면, 종횡변형률은 서로 상이한 값을 보였으며 전반적으로 변형률의 크기는 차량의 속도가 증가함에 따라 감소함을 보였다. 전반적으로 횡방향 변형률은 종방향 변형률에 비하여 작은값을 보였으며 그 차이는 횡방향에서 더욱 두드러진 경향을 보였다.

This study was carried out to investigate experimentally the effect of three factors(dynamic load, inflation pressure and number of passes of tire) on soil compaction under the tire. The experiment were conducted with a 6.00R14 radial-ply tire for sandy loam soil using soil bin system. To evaluate the effect of three factors on soil compaction under the tire, the sinkage. density and volume of soil under the tire were measured fur the three levels of dynamic load(1.17kN, 2.35kN and 3.53kN), for the three levels of tire inflation pressure(103.42kPa, 206.84kPa and 413.67kPa), and for three different number of passes(1, 3 and 5). The results of this study can be summarized as follows : 1. As dynamic load, inflation pressure and number of passes of the tire increased, soil sinkage and density increased. and volume of soil decreased. Thus increase in dynamic load, inflation pressure and number of passes of the tire would increase soil compaction. 2. The effect of tire inflation pressure on sinkage. density and volume of soil under the tire was relatively less than that of the dynamic load. Therefore, it was concluded that dynamic load was more important factor affecting soil compaction in comparison to the inflation pressure of tire. 3. The effect of three different factors on sinkage, density and volume of soil decreased as the soil depth increase. Consequently, it was fecund that soil compaction at a shallow depth in soil was larger than that at deep place in soil.

Purpose: The objectives of the present study were to investigate the disadvantages of tire pressure asymmetry of a wheelchair tire and recommend the criterion for appropriate tire pressure without generating negative changes in the musculoskeletal system in asymptomatic participants. Methods: Fourteen asymptomatic participants were asked to sit in pressure-controlled wheelchairs and perform desk work for 20 minutes in each tire condition. The asymmetry of the tire conditions was set as 0% difference, 25% difference, and 50% difference from the recommended pressure. The pelvic alignment and muscular recruitment represented as a flexion-relaxation ratio (FRR) were measured at pre-test, and after each condition of desk work. The displacement of the center of pressure (COP) was measured during the desk work. Results: The tire air pressure condition significantly affected the FRR and COP (P < 0.05). Both sides of the FRR values were significantly higher under the symmetrical tire conditions (0% difference) and pre-test, compared with the asymmetrical tire condition of 50% difference (P < 0.05). The mediolateral COP displacement of the asymmetrical tire conditions (25% and 50% difference) was significantly higher than that of the symmetrical tire conditions (0%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Asymmetrical tire conditions could cause changes in the muscle recruitment pattern of the erector spine and mediolateral COP displacement. Tire pressure asymmetry higher than 50% could be a risk factor for prevalence of back pain, so this level of asymmetry in tire pressures should be cautioned against for wheelchair users.

높은 포장온도는 아스팔트포장 소성변형의 주요인이나 소성변형을 줄이기 위한 방안으로서 포장온도를 줄이는 측면에서는 아직 많은 연구가 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 소성변형결함을 줄이기 위한 하나의 대안으로, 온도저감 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있는 보수성 포장을 배수성 포장의 하부층에 설치한 포장의 공용특성을 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 보수형 배수성 포장의 온도저감효과를 정량화하고, 포장가속시험(Accelerated Pavement Testing)을 이용하여 온도 저감에 따른 소성변형 감소효과를 확인하고, 정량화하는데 있다. 또한 추가적으로 보수성 포장의 상대강도계수를 분석하고, 일반 포장과 비교하여 설계법 적용시 포장두께를 줄일 수 있는지 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 보수형 배수성포장 2개 단면 및 일반 배수성 포장 1개 단면 등 총 3개 시험구간이 시공되었다. 히팅 및 살수를 일정주기로 실시하였으며 하중조건은 윤하중 8.2ton, 타이어 공기압 $7.03kgf/cm^2$ 타이어 접지면적 $610cm^2$이었다. 이 연구에서 포장체 온도저감효과는 중간층의 경우 $6.6{\sim}7.9^{\circ}C$(평균$7.4^{\circ}C$), 표층의 경우 $7.9{\sim}9.8^{\circ}C$(평균 $8.8^{\circ}C$)였으며, 이를 통해 포장표면의 소성변형 발생을 26% 감소시킬 수 있었다. 또한 탄성계수로부터 추정된 보수성 포장의 상대강도계수는 0.173으로 일반 밀입도 포장의 1.2배 정도였으며, 일반배수성 포장 구간에서는 표층, 중간층, 기층 모두 소성변형이 발생한데 반해 보수형 배수성 포장 구간에서는 표층에서 대부분의 소성변형이 발생된 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 자동차용 타이어 공기압 모니터링 시스템(TPMS)의 핵심 부품인 가속도센서에 관한 연구이다. 일반적으로 압저항형 가속도센서는 정전용량형 가속도센서에 비하여 제조 비용이 적고 출력 특성이 선형적이며 주변 잡음에 면역성이 강한 장점을 갖는다. 그래서 TPMS용으로 압저항형을 선택하였고, ANSYS 프로그램을 이용하여 3가지 타입의 구조를 설계하여 공진주파수 특성을 비교하여 가장 안정적인 구조인 질량체 가장자리의 가운데에 있는 4개의 빔에 의하여 지지되는 브릿지 타입의 실리콘압저항형 가속도센서를 선택하였다. 그리고 센서 크기를 고려하여 빔의 길이는 $200{\mu}m$로 정하였으며, 빔 길이에 따른 최대응력과 최대변위를 시뮬레이션하여 센서를 설계하였다. TPMS용 4 빔 실리콘 미세 압저항형 가속도센서의 크기는 $3.0mm{\times}3.0mm{\times}0.4mm$의 크기로 제작 되었다. 휠 각도에 따른 출력 특성과 온도 특성을 측정하여 센서의 특성을 분석 하였다. 그 결과 가속도센서의 옵셋 전압은 43.2 mV 이고 감도는 $42.5{\mu}V/V/g$ 이다. 센서의 특징으로 내충격성은 1500 g 이고, 측정 범위는 0 ~ 60 g, 사용온도는 $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}125^{\circ}C$ 를 갖는다.
