본 연구에서는 타이어의 공기압이 농용트랙터의 견인성능과 토양다짐에 미치는 효과를 실험적으로 조사하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 타이어공기압에 따른 트랙터의 견인성능 실험 결과, 공기압의 감소는 트랙터의 운동저항은 감소시키고, 견인력과 견인효율은 증대시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 연약지에서 운용되는 트랙터는 공기압의 조절을 통해(최소 허용 공기압까지 타이어공기압의 감소를 통해) 견인성능과 작업성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 2) 트랙터의 타이어공기압과 통과횟수의 증가는 모두 토양다짐을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 토양다짐을 줄이기 위해서는 트랙터가 통과한 궤적상을 연속해서 통과할 수 있도록 작업 계획을 세우면 전체 경작 면적에 대한 토양 다짐을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 타이어의 공기압을 최소 허용 공기압 수준까지 감소시킬 경우 토양다짐을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 3) 위의 결과로부터 트랙터의 작업성능의 향상과 토양다짐의 최소화는 타이어공기압의 조절을 통해 어느 정도 이를 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해서는 운전석에 설치된 제어판을 통해 지면의 상태에 따라 타이어의 공기압을 운전자가 쉽게 조절할 수 있는 최첨단 기술인 CTI시스템을 농용트랙터에 적용하는 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

교통사고 예방뿐만 아니라 범세계적인 협력이 필요한 탄소배출 감축과 직결되어 있는 타이어의 '적정 공기압 유지 관리'라는 최근 그 중요성과 필요성이 날로 커지고 있으나, 운전자들의 타이어 공기압 관리에 대한 의식은 저조한 실정이다. 이러한 상황에서 타이어 적정공기압과 관련한 범국민적인 안전의식 제고를 기대할 수 있는 캠페인이 지식경제부에서 주관하고 대한타이어공업협회 및 에너지관리공단을 비롯한 관련 기관과 업체들이 참여하여 향후 6개월간 대대적으로 추진될 계획이다.

This study was carried out to investigate experimentally the effect of the tire inflation pressure of a tractor on soil compaction and tractive performance. Two kinds of field experiments were conducted using an agricultural tractor. One experiment is concerned with the tractive performance of the tractor at the three levels of tire inflation pressure; 50kpa, 100kpa and 200kpa, and the other one is about the soil compaction at the four levels of tire inflation pressure; 50kpa, 100kpa, 150kpa and 200kpa, at three different numbers of passes; 1, 3 and 5 passes. From the results of the field experiment, it was found that decreasing the tire inflation pressure decreased the motion resistance of tractor and increased the tractive force and tractive efficiency. The tractive and working performance of the tractor could be improved by the reduction of tire inflation pressure. Increasing the inflation pressure and the number of passes increased the soil compaction. Rate of compaction increased rapidly at the first pass and declined at subsequent passes. To reduce the effect of soil compaction for the whole field, it is recommended that tractor should follow the rut of the first pass from the subsequent passes, and decrease the inflation pressure of the driving tires up to allowable minimum level.

The vibration characteristic of tires is one of very important issues which heavily affect the noise and comfort on driving. Therefore, when the new tire is designed, the vibration characteristic of tire should be considered. In this paper, the vibration characteristic of non-pneumatic tire is investigated for geometric of NPT which is designed by cell angle of spoke. The analysis is based on the finite element method and used ABAQUS program, which is able to non-linear analysis. The material of NPT is used for the Ogden energy model, which is model of hyperelastic material. This paper investigate natural frequency and modal of NPT and compare result of NPT with it of pneumatic tire.

This study was carried out to investigate experimentally the effect of the ground condition and tire inflation pressure on rolling characteristics of towed wheel, including the deformation, sinkage, effective rolling radius and motion resistance of tire. The experiment was performed at soil bin for the three levels of off-road conditions(ground-I, ground-II and ground-III) and a on-road condition(ground-IV), and for the four levels of tire inflation pressure which were 80 kPa, 160 kPa, 240 kPa and 320 kPa. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1. As the tire inflation pressure of towed wheel increased, the tire deformation decreased exponentially, but the tire sinkage increased exponentially. This trend was getting bigger as ground condition was getting softer. 2. The increase of tire inflation pressure increased the effective rolling radius of towed wheel, and this kind of trend occurred greatly as ground condition was soft. As a result, the effective rolling radius for the off-road condition was always larger than that for on-road condition. 3. For the on-road condition, as the tire inflation pressure of towed wheel increased, the motion resistance decreased, but for the off-road condition, augmentation of tire inflation pressure increased the motion resistance. Also, the effect of inflation pressure on motion resistance appeared great as ground condition was soft. Therefore, in order to improve the tire performance by the control of inflation pressure, it is desirable to reduce the tire inflation pressure for off-road condition and to increase the tire inflation pressure for on-road condition.
