With many years of construction and application of common concrete, researchers have always been searching for a better composition. One of the notable ideas for achieving such a composition is using recycled materials. One of the materials which is suitable for environment and constant development is damaged tires .For studying mechanical properties of concrete containing tire particles, a ser...

The hysteresis loss theory of rolling resistance is developed for solid rubber wheelchair tires. The analysis is used to correlate test data for a clay-filled natural rubber and a polyurethane tire material. A discussion of tire rolling work, hysteresis loss factor measurement, and rolling loss measurement is presented. An example calculation of rolling resistance for a polyurethane tire is giv...

Tire/road interactions play a critical role in safe operation of ground vehicles. This paper presents the modeling, analysis, and experimental studies of stick–slip interactions between the stationary tire and the firm road. A semi-analytical model is first proposed to predict the normal force distribution on the tire contact patch. A beam–spring network modeling approach is then used to captur...

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...

In-situ sensing the tire–road interactions such as local contact friction force distributions provides crucial information for building accurate friction force models for vehicle safety control. In this paper, we report the development of an embedded, flexible local force sensor for measuring the tire local friction forces and their distributions. A new pressuresensitive, electric conductive ru...

Several technologies established for tire utilization were reviewed in order to determine the best use of discarded tires. The technologies reviewed were retreading, reclaiming, splitting, combustion, pyrolysis, use in breakwaters, erosion control structures, reefs, pavements, general construction materials, etc. Based on the information collected, it was concluded that the use of discarded tir...

In tire industry, it is very crucial to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of the rubber which is used for production of the tire, to ensure the quality of the final product. Resilience is an important property of a rubber, which cannot be evaluated through direct measurement in production cycle in this industry. Therefore, non-destructive ultrasonic testing, which has been used in man...

The feasibility of using large rubber chunks from shredded tires as aggregates in coldmixes for road construction was investigated in this study. The research was directed toward development of a chunk rubber asphalt concrete mix design for low volume road construction using local aggregate, shredded tire rubber chunks and a cationic emulsion. A set of mixes using different combinations of chun...

Goal number 12 of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is sustainable consumption and productions. Recycling has a central role in assuring to meet target 2030. Only EU, annual total waste spent tire 3.7 million tons [1]; it impelling find way recycle this material. This article investigates feasibility use ground rubber (GTR) as feedstock injection molding by blending with polypropyl...
