Adaptive Tyre for Agricultural Trailer

Biris I. Sorin Stefan

Abstract :

In this paper was developed a theoretical study, underpinning a solution which can be patented, for an adaptive tyre, different from the conventional one, which provides, on arable soil, the advantages of a larger contact surface, with quite uniform pressure distribution in the contact patch, such as for rubber belt track. On public roads, this tyre is capable to adapt so that the area of contact patch to be minimum and rolling resistance to be minimum. Although the estimated cost of achieving such a tyre is significantly higher compared to conventional tyres, especially if tyre production is not of large series, results obtained by simulation and numeric analysis using Finite Element Method are encouraging and they justify the need of such adaptive tyre for agricultural trailers.
