Tyres and Tyre Technology
Tyre technology related services include:
- Rubber compound development for cost/performance benefits
- Air permeation rate through inner liner
- Mechanical characterisation of materials under sinusoidal and pulse loading
- elastic/viscoelastic
- fatigue crack growth
- Test equipment for fatigue characterisation with impulse loading
- Finite element modelling and prediction of fatigue crack growth using
fracture mechanics based methods
- Assessment of rubber to reinforcement bond strength and performance
- e.g. rubber to brass plated steel chord
- Investigation of deterioration, ageing and failures
- Characterisation of friction coefficient - static and dynamic
