Evaluation of Agriculture Tires Deformation Using Innovative 3D Scanning Method

This study presents the results of research related to agriculture tire deformation under variable vertical load and inflation pressure. The objects were two tires same size different internal structures. Three levels pressure five used. loaded with each was scanned using 3D scanner—the effect this operation a three-dimensional image part (near place contact surface). next step creation horizontal cross-sections profile, which allowed analysis tested parameters: profile height, location point maximum deflection, width area cross-sections. Finally, mathematical model formulated, describing areas as function factors. Based on conducted research, it stated that an increase in caused reductions both types heights. Moreover, profiles increased due (for bias-ply, increases smaller than for radial tires). Similar changes observed after reduction
