Synergistic effects of rubber-tire-powder and fluorogypsum in cement-based composite

Rubber friction and tire dynamics.

We propose a simple rubber friction law, which can be used, for example, in models of tire (and vehicle) dynamics. The friction law is tested by comparing numerical results to the full rubber friction theory (Persson 2006 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 18 7789). Good agreement is found between the two theories. We describe a two-dimensional (2D) tire model which combines the rubber friction model wi...

Composite Properties and Micromechanical Analysis of Highly Ductile Cement Composite Incorporating Limestone Powder

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effect of limestone powder on the compressive strength, tensile behavior, and micromechanical parameters of a highly ductile cement composite incorporating limestone powder. Four mixtures were determined according to the replacement ratio of cement with limestone powder. A series of experiments including compressive strength, uniax...

Rubber Oxidation and Tire Aging - a Review

While a new tire may have excellent resistance to crack initiation and propagation between the steel belts, an aged tire of the exact same construction can exhibit dramatically reduced crack growth resistance, which in some cases may contribute to tire failure. This article will review the research that has gone into quantifying the rate of oxidation the steel belt rubber oxidizes in different ...

Potential Use of Tire Rubber and Ebonite in Asphalt

This report evaluates the effectiveness of rubber-asphalt and ebonite-asphalt mixes based on a review of published literature and unpublished reports. It discusses in detail various aspects of these mixes, including: diffe ent applications, physical properties, experiences of state highway agencies, and claimed advantages and problems associated with their use. The addition of ground tire rubbe...
