The paper deals with experimental simulation measuring and the analysis of defect distribution in passenger car tire under dynamic loading. The main reason for detection of defect extension is to recognize an influence of closed air, small bubbles, separations in tire and it is mainly connected with its quality during its service in a vehicle in terms of road safety. This analysis should help constructors to solve critical conditions in tire casing, whether material selection and individual components proportions are suitable and fit or even the whole construction of tire casing is suitable. The reason for detection of internal defects in tire casing is to avoid the wear of those tires which already contain some internal defects and already recognised separations, which could propagate during the movement of vehicles. This is closely connected with the occurrence of tire destruction and the main purpose is to prevent its critical status and later vehicle crash and human life menace.
The presented work is focused on the analysis of stress distribution around the graphitic particles in microstructure of ductile cast iron with the spheroidal shape of graphite (SGCI) and grey cast iron with the lamellar shape of graphite (LGCI). The analysis was made with help of the finite element method in the software system ADINA.v.8.6.2. On the basis of the real structure, the finite element method was used for creation of the model which was subsequently used for calculation of the distribution of stress in the material structure. The input data for numerical analysis were obtained on the basis of evaluation of the structure with help of image analysis. The numerical analysis proved that graphitic particles in the matrix cause the accumulation of stress and the distribution of given stress depends on the shape of the graphitic particles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
