Use of 3D scanning technique to determine tire deformation in static conditions

This paper presents an innovative digital method to analyse agricultural tire profiles based on pictures. From this method, we can conclude that the deformation is caused by changes in vertical load and inflation pressure. The first stage 3D-scanning; cross-section created from obtained picture of tested tire. cross-section, deflection be determined. Then, horizontal - operation allows determining tire’s contact area at highest deformation. Obtained results useful create characteristic. In turn, pressure values determined (even through laboratory testing, without research field conditions). knowledge about taking some actions reduce soil compaction. description radial was used, but structure equipment test bench allow use cross-ply tires with different dimensions.
