Abstract:

In our daily life, tires are used in many areas, especially transportation. Regardless of the characteristics of the vehicle used, the vehicle tire has a critical importance in terms of safety. In order for the tire to work safety and efficiently, the internal structure of the tire, its construction, the tire footprint etc. The analysis of the parameters must be done correctly. The cord and elastomer materials in the tire structure have different mechanical strain properties under load. The effect of the resulting strain on the mechanical properties and adhesion performance of the cord has been proven by studies. In this study, the experimental and simulation studies to determine the mechanical properties of the cord-rubber structure, which is the main component in the tire inner structure, are mentioned. In addition, examples from the studies on the macro and mesoscopic mechanical properties of the cord rubber composite material are given. In the analysis of the tire structure, studies on the mechanical properties of the tire cord, the modeling of the tire behavior under road conditions, the change in tire inflation pressure and the ground contact were examined with the finite element method. As a result of the examination, a review was made on the mechanical properties of the materials in the cord-rubber structure, the test methods used to analyze the material structure, the modeling of the tire structure, the cord rubber adhesion analysis, the cord strain analysis, the tire-ground relationship.
