The safety of the driving experience and manoeuvrability of a vehicle can be improved by detecting the strain in tyres. To measure strain accurately in rubber, the strain sensor needs to be flexible so that it does not deform the medium that it is measuring. In this work, a novel flexible bond wire capacitive strain sensor for measuring the strain in tyres is developed, fabricated and calibrate...

In this study, waste tire powder and waste liquid crystal display (LCD) glass sand are used as recycled materials. With a fixed water to binder ratio (W/B = 0.4), the use of fly ash and slag as cementreplacement materials. waste tire powder and waste LCD glass sand, which passed the sieve screen size # 30(0.595 mm), were used to replace fine aggregates at 0%, 5% and 10% in producing lightweight...

Future active safety systems need more accurate information about the state of vehicles. This article proposes a method to evaluate the lateral state of a vehicle based on measured tyre forces. The tyre forces of two tyres are estimated from optically measured tyre carcass deflections and transmitted wirelessly to the vehicle body. The two remaining tyres are so-called virtual tyre sensors, the...

Every year about 1.5 billion tyres are discarded worldwide representing a large amount of solid waste, but also a largely untapped source of raw materials. The objective of the method was to prove the concept of a novel scrap tyre recycling process which uses molten zinc as the direct heat transfer fluid and, simultaneously, uses this media to separate the solids products (i.e. steel and rCB) i...

Abstract The building materials branch of the construction industry is continuously developing due to occurrence new products which seek improve “green” character buildings by using different types wastes. Prefabricated sizes such as blocks, panels, beams and other spatial elements can now be obtained with eco-materials. Concrete most used material in thus it necessary diminish its environmenta...

Results and Conclusion: In this study, a numerical two-permeability flow model was used to investigate the effects of tyres embedding on the outflow rate of leachate injection. Furthermore, it was coupled with momentum balance equations to determine the local factor of safety of slope stability. The established model was applied to a simplified bioreactor landfill. The simulation results demons...

The paper presents a static lateral stability of sub-compact tractor MT8-070 Mini in relation to safe operation. Axle weight distribution the was measured calculate vertical and longitudinal coordinates centre gravity (COG). Experiments were aimed at equipped with no four levels rear wheel ballast weights (30.5, 61, 91.5 122 kg) standard extended overall width on tyres. A overturning angle calc...

the province of bushehr is located in southern area of iran and north of persian gulf. solid waste management in bushehr’s villages was the aim of this research. for the sake of this study, 21 villages scattered all over the province were selected. field studies showed that about 646 grams of residential solid waste per capita is generated in selected villages every day. there are 322 shops i...
