The vibration characteristic of tire is heavily related to the noise and comfort on driving. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate modal charateristic of non-pneumatic tires with Honeycomb spokes. The modal analysis of non-pneumatic tire is investigated for geometric of non-pneumatic tire(NPT) which is designed according to the cell angle of honeycomb cell. Investigation of natural frequencies and mode shapes of non-pneumatic tire are compared regular type NPT with auxetic type NPT. The analysis is based on the finite element method and used ABAQUS program which is able to analyze of non-linear. The material of NPT is used for the Ogden energy model which is model of hyperelastic material. As a result, natural frequencies and mode shapes of non-pneumatic tires with honeycomb spokes are affected by the angle of honeycomb cell.

An airless tire has advantages over the conventional pneumatic tire in terms of flat proof and maintenance free. According to the recently disclosed inventions on the airless tire, non-pneumatic tire (NPT) consists of the flexible polygon spokes. Considering the NPT structure, the spokes undergo the tension-compression cyclic loading while the tire rolls. Therefore the spokes of NPT are required to have both stiffness and resilience under the cyclic tensile-compressible loading. In general, if a material has a high stiffness, it shows a low elastic strain limit. In this paper, using the auxetic honeycomb structure with negative poissons's ratio, the spokes of NPT tire are designed to have both stiffness and resilience. Finite element based numerical simulation of the contact pressure of a NPT is carried out with ABAQUS.

The demands for vehicle safety systems such as ABS and ESC have been increased. Accurate vehicle state estimation is required to realized the abovementioned systems and tire-friction coefficient is crucial information. Estimation of lateral tire-road friction coefficient using pneumatic trail information is mainly dealt in this paper. Pneumatic trail shows unique characteristics according to the wheel side slip angle and these property is highly sensitive to vehicle lateral motion. The proposed algorithm minimizes the use of conventional tire models such as magic formula, brushed tire model and Dugoff tire model. The pure side slip maneuver, which means no longitudinal dynamics, is assumed to achieve the ultimate goal of this paper. A simulation verification using Carsim and Simulink is performed and the results show the feasibility of the proposed algorithms.

This paper describes the speckle shearing interferometry, a non-destructive optical method, for quantitative estimation of void defect and monitoring separation defect inside of a pneumatic tire. Previous shearing interferometry has not supplied quantitative result of inside defect, due to effective factors. In the study, factors related to the details of an inside defect are classified and optimized with pipeline simulator. The size and the shape of defect can be estimated accurately to find a critical point and also is closely related with shearing direction. The technique is applied for quantitative estimation of defects inside of a pneumatic tire. The actual traveling tire is monitored to reveal the cause of separation and the starting points. And also unknown void defects on tread are inspected and the size and shape of defects are estimated which has good agreement with the result of visual inspection.

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.

For the prevention of environmental pollution, there have been many researches which are eco-friendly vehicles in the automobile industry. In this paper, we studied for the non-pneumatic tires(NPT)can increase fuel consumption compared to conventional pneumatic tires. On driving, energy loss of tires occur when tires impact an obstacle on the road. This energy loss directly is relate to the fuel efficiency. Therefore, the energy loss of non-pneumatic tires is compared before and after impact. In this study, the results of energy loss of non-pneumatic tires and pneumatic tires was compared, when tires are rolled over an obstacle. As a result, the energy loss of non-pneumatic tires was less than pneumatic tires. This researches were performed the ABAQUS using finite element method and obtained the difference of velocity and kinetic energy from the program.

Pneumatic tires usually contain a variety of rubber compositions, each designed to contribute some particular factor to overall performance. Rubber compounds designed for a specific function will usually be similar but not identical In composition and properties. Since 1970`s finite element analysis of tire has been performed extensively, which requires some energy density functions of rubber components of a tire. The conventional Mooney-Rivlin material model is one of the description that is commonly used in the analysis of tire. In this paper, we report the two material constants of gooney-Rivlin material model for some rubber compounds of a real pneumatic tire, which are obtained through uniaxial tension test.

This study was performed to develop an active tire pressure control system that can adjust tire pressure to the optimum level according to traveling and working condition of agricultural tractor. For the development of active tire pressure control system, pneumatic supplier, solenoid valve block including pneumatic supply line, infinite rotation type pneumatic supplier with rotary joint unit, tire pressure transceiver module and control algorithm were developed. Also, tire simulator was developed. Using this tire simulator, the feasibility of each part constructing actual system was tested by checking the performance. The average communication success ratio was 98.3% between tire pressure transmitter and receiver module according to the various tire rotational speed and data receipt position of receiver module. The communication performance of the developed transmitter and receiver module was very stable in any condition. The tire pressure control system was accomplished by using the proportional control algorithm in this study. Also tire pressure control performance of developed control system was analyzed by using the tire simulator. As a result of control performance analysis to the developed system, the developed control system took 307 seconds to inflate agricultural tractor's tire from 50 kPa to 180 kPa. In opposite case, it took 210 seconds. Also it was able to control the tire pressure accurately under ${\pm}0.9%$ (FS) in any condition.
