Full Description
The modern tire is the most complex, composite product in mass production. Yet given its complexity and required performance, there is little information in the public domain regarding its development. This book introduces tire design, construction, and manufacturing in the context of materials technologies used today, along with future trends and disrupting technologies. The Second Edition has been thoroughly updated to include new developments in steel wire technology, the role of the belt overlay, and the crucial relationship between tire inflation pressure and innerliner gauge, as well as sustainability, recycled materials, and new technologies.
• Focuses on design and construction.
• Discusses the relationship between materials and performance.
• Reviews tire uniformity as a key differentiator among manufacturers.
• Evaluates design and construction features versus performance.
• Features new content on belt overlays, innerliners, advanced materials, and sustainability.
• Examines future trends including modeling, finite element, emphasis on mileage, and tear strength analysis.
Written for engineers in the polymer, industrial, chemical, mechanical, and automotive industries, this book offers a comprehensive view of tire design for enhanced efficiency and durability.
