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...

The secondary use of tyre rubber is a potentially sustainable environmental solution. However, the sorption properties used-tyre have not yet been fully investigated. In this study, type (vulcanised or devulcanised part-worn rubber) that can sorb phosphate phosphorus from aqueous solutions wastewater more effectively determined. capacity granules (0.3–1.0 mm in diameter) non-devulcanised ground...

Today, rapid economic and industrial growth generates increasing amounts of waste materials such as waste tyre rubber. Attempts to inspire a green technology which is more environmentally friendly that can produce economic value are a major consideration in the utilization of waste materials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of waste tyre rubber (crumb rubber modifier (CRM)), in ...

Beirut, Sidon and Tyre were major centres of maritime trade from the Bronze Age onwards. This economic prosperity generated increased pressures on the local environment, through urbanization and harbour development. Until now, however, the impact of expanding seaport infrastructure has largely been neglected and there is a paucity of data concerning the environmental stresses caused by these ne...

In this paper a nonlinear quarter car suspension-seat-driver model was implemented for optimum design. A nonlinear quarter car model comprising of quadratic tyre stiffness and cubic stiffness in suspension spring, frame, and seat cushion with 4 degrees of freedom (DoF) driver model was presented for optimization and analysis. Suspension system was aimed to optimize the comfort and health criter...

The possibility of accurately inferring the external forces applied to a vehicle can directly contribute better safety systems and thus lowers chance injury or loss life. These are through tyres challenging measure directly. Still, it is possible acceleration, deformation, strain on inner surface tyre. measurements theorized be strongly linked produced by However, still unknown whether not one ...
