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.

We propose a newly developed automobile sensor monitoring system incorporated with a tire pressure monitoring sensor(TPMS). The RF-transmitter based on a tire pressure sensor, sends a frame data about measured tire-pressure to RF receiver. And the various sensing signals based on sensors such as fuel-level sensor, engine oil level sensor and temperature sensors, are converted into 10-bit digital data. The microprocessor displays converting data such as tire pressure, trip distance, fuel quantity, coolant temperature and car-room temperature, on LCD panel. The proposed system can be successfully adapted to monitoring of the tire pressure and various automobile sensors.

An autonomous vehicle control algorithm based on Ackerman Geometry is known to be reliable in low tire slip situation. However, vehicles at high speed make lateral errors due to high tire slip. In this paper, considering the tire slip of vehicles, the steering angle is determined based on the Ackerman Geometry and is supplemented tire slip angle by the Stanley steering algorithm. In addition, to prevent the tire slip, the algorithm, which restricts steering if a certain level of slip occurs, is used to reduce the lateral error. While many studies have been extended to include vehicle slip, studies also need to be carried out on the tire slip depending on hardware performance. The control algorithm of autonomous vehicles is compensated considering the sensor noise and the performance of steering actuator. Through the various simulations, it was found that the performance of steering actuator was the key factor affecting the performance of autonomous driving. Also, it was verified that the usefulness of steering algorithm considering the tire slip and performance of steering actuator.

In this paper, research for dynamic wheel loads of 3-D vehicle model considering tire enveloping model is carried out. Heavy trucks with 2-axles and 3-axles are modeled by 7-d.o.f. and 8-d.o.f., in which contact length of tire and pitching of tandem spring axles is considered. Dynamic equations of vehicle are derived by using the Lagrange's equation and solution of the equation is calculated by 5th Runge-Kutter method. The validity of the developed 3-D vehicle model is demonstrated by comparing the results obtained by the present method and experimental data by Whittemore. The maximum impact factors of tire force are calculated when vehicle models of 8ton and 15ton dump truck are running on the different class roads with 1.0km and on the various step bump.

본 논문에서는 클라이언트측에 별도의 JDBC 드라이버 없이 JSBC API 만 가지고도여러곳에 분산된 DB서버로 접근이 가능하게 하기 위해 RMI(Remote Method Invocation)를 이용하여 JDBC 3-tire모델을 위한 미들웨어를 제안하였다. 즉 JDBC를 이용한 Applret 은 Download된 원래의 서버와 DB 서버가 같은 경우에만 그곳에 접속하여 DB에 엑세스 가능한 현대의 제약을 Java RMI를 이용한 미들웨어를 구축하여 Client--middle ware--DB server라는 시스템으로 해결하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 미들웨어는 서로 다른 데이터베이스 관리 시스템과의 연결을 위해 기존의 JDBC드라이버를 이용한 구조를 가질 수 있도록 설계하였다.

This study investigated the shear strength characteristics of waste tire powder-added lightweight soil (WTLS), which were developed to recycle dredged soil, bottom ash, and waste tires. The WTLS used in this experiment consisted of dredged soil, bottom ash, waste tire powder, and cement. Test specimens were prepared with various contents of waste tire powder ranging from 0% to 100% at 25% intervals and bottom ash contents of 0% or 100% by the weight of the dry dredged soil. In this study several series of direct shear tests were carried out, which indicated that the shear properties of WTLS were strongly influenced by the mixing conditions, such as the waste tire powder content and bottom ash content. The unit weight, as well as the shear strength of the WTLS, decreased with an increase in waste tire powder content. The shear strength of WTLS with bottom ash was 1.34 times greater than that of WTLS without bottom ash. An average increase in cohesion of 30 kPa was obtained in WTLS with the inclusion of bottom ash due to the bond strength induced from the pozzolanic reaction of the bottom ash. In this test, the maximum value of the internal friction angle was obtained with a 25% content of waste tire powder.

In a Vehicle, Safety is the most important factor for drivers. It is well known that tire pressure lower than normal reduces the safety of the vehicle. In a consideration of active safety, tire pressure monitoring system is absolutely required. Tire pressure monitoring using in-tire pressure sensors with an RE data link have proven to be best approach to measuring tire pressure over the widest range of operating conditions. In this paper, we describe the parameters of TPMS, the characteristic of tire pressure and temperature compensation. These are the main factors to design the decision logic. We will show the guidelines for TPMS logic development considering environment variables and vehicle conditions.

Conversion and oil-yield of a used automotive tire sample in supercritical decomposition and extraction for three solvents such as water, 28% ammoina solution and ammonia, were compared. Supercritical extraction with ammonia gave the highest conversion and oil-yield at the same temperature and pressure. In this paper, supercritical ammonia was used as major solvent and tetralin acting as hydrogen-donor, was used as cosolvent. As the amount of tetralin increased, oil-yield was Increased. When a tire sample was extracted by supercritical ammonia, oil-yield was 48.8% at $280^{\circ}C$, 22.3MPa. But when the weight ratio of tetralin to tire sample (weight of tetralin/weight of tire sample) was 5, oil-yield was 61.2% at $280^{\circ}C$ and 22.3 MPa. These phenomena indicate that as radicals produced in supercritical decomposition become stable, the polymerization and the second decomposition of products may be inhibited. Supercritical extraction of a tire sample swollen by tetralin gave high oil-yield although the amount of tetralin was a little.
