“…Different research works compare cellular and spoke compositions such as in the examples of Ramadhani et al 45 and Liu et al 46 Jafferson and Sharma 23 compare NPT approaches, aiming at guiding the design of energy-absorbing structures. Almost exclusively dedicated to geometric parameters, their work proposes various NPTs composed of 2D and 3D cellular structures.…”

The interest in airless or non-pneumatic tire (NPT) structures emerges due to potential performance and environmental advantages, such as reduced rolling resistance and improved recyclability, when compared with traditional rubber-based pneumatic tires. NPTs can already be found in commercial applications such as forklifts, electric scooters, and wheelchairs. Even so, up to the knowledge of authors, there is no known established large-scale production of NPTs for most applications. This work presents a systematic literature review regarding the mechanical design and development of NPTs. A summary of structural characteristics and mechanical behaviour analysis is provided. Relevant standards, analysis strategies, materials, production techniques, and the end-of-life of tires are addressed. In the end, the authors debate the current challenges and prospects of these emergent products. Furthermore, this research aims at being used as a tool, potentiating the development of innovative and efficient, airless tire solutions. The review presented clarifies that many academic efforts are focused on finding optimal functional designs, which are frequently complex and physically demanding. These geometrically complex design proposals are, in most cases, composed of intricate cellular structures and spokes arrangements. Based on the current lack of knowledge, authors identify key research areas to be further developed such as the production, performance, and reliability of NPTs. It is debatable whether there will ever be a shortcoming of the rubber tire, or a time when fully recyclable tires are a societal obligation. Nevertheless, the number of reasons to promote the development of a reliable replacement to the traditional tire is far from scarce.

Non-pneumatic tires (NPTs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional pneumatic tires. In this study, a systematic parametric analysis was conducted to assess the influence of various design factors, including cell size, cell wall thickness, cell round radius, and spoke band thickness on the performance of NPTs. The Taguchi method, in conjunction with ANOVA, was employed to leverage the design of experiments (DOE) approach for identifying optimal settings for the examined factors. This investigation on sets revealed that both cell size and cell round radius have a significant impact on the mechanical performance of NPT. Specifically, cell size was shown to significantly affect the deformation and strain, with respective contributions of 48.74% and 45.16%. Meanwhile, cell round radius exhibited a substantial impact on the von Mises stress and strain energy, with respective contributions of 44.02% and 45.30%. Moreover, spoke band thickness was observed to significantly influence the mass of airless tires, with a contribution of 44.75%. The findings of this study furnish valuable insights into the design and optimization of NPTs for diverse applications.
