The effectiveness of spinosad and temephos for the control of mosquito larvae was evaluated in a tire dump in Allende, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Three groups of 12 to 17 tires located in tree shade were utilized for this study. After the larvicides were applied, samples were collected weekly from 7 randomly chosen tires. The data showed a significant difference between the larvicides and control. Und...

Tires’ substantial environmental footprint is set to drop as producers increase their use of renewable materials and efficient technologies emerge for chemically recycling them. Currently, most tires are incinerated or landfilled, at a high price. While the sector’s may be shrinking, millions metric tons rubber particles get released annually wear down on roads. And independent scientists say t...

the natural frequencies and mode shapes of pneumatic tires are predicted using a geometrically accurate, three-dimensional finite element modeling. tire rubber materials and cord layers are represented independently using “shell element” available in cosmos. the effects of some physical parameters such as the inflation pressure tread pattern, thickness of belts and ply angles to the natural fre...

Tire models are widely used in research the field of vehicle dynamics and noise, especially simulation their movement under action forces moments. In general case, we distinguish theoretical defined on basis tire construction empirical or semi-empirical based experimental tests. addition, a combination these two types can also produce models. practice, there is very wide range mathematical usin...

From a traffic safety perspective it is highly motivated to define winter tires in terms of their performance in icy road conditions. The present definition of winter (snow) tires, introduced in the EU in 2012, is based on packed snow performance. The present paper investigates the feasibility of an indoor winter tire classification test on ice. Results presented here indicates that a test proc...

In the material handling business original equipment manufacturers, lift truck dealers and distributors find themselves marketing polyurethane and rubber tires simultaneously. To achieve optimum performance one needs to better understand the attributes of each product. In this article, both products will be broadly compared along with their proper application, with an emphasis on polyurethane t...

A scenario of an automotive accident caused by tire failure is given followed by a human factors analysis of the information available to consumers on tire aging. Consumers have not been told that the age of the tire is a safety concern. It is not easy to decode the date of manufacture on tires. More publicity and prominent warnings are needed to communicate the dangers of older tires. Also, be...

This article studies the influence of speed a car with low and ultra-low profile tires, 14ʹʹ 16ʹʹ, negotiating turn through an interactive software system developed by us in MATLAB environment. The changes normal lateral loads wheels are obtained characteristics side slip angle (known as slip) pneumatic tires determined. Taking into account wheels, determines center turn. for both types given. ...

Extended Abstract—This paper presents the realization of a prototype of a conversational workflow for a Chatbot in tires domain. The initial purpose has focused on the design of the specific model to manage communication and propose the most suitable tires for users. For this aim, it has been used the Petri Net. Finally, after the implementation of the designed model, experimental campaign was ...
