In this study, in order to observe the change in the amount of Tire and Road Wear Particles and the ratio of tire components in it according to the tire wear resistance performance, carried out the evaluation by varying the vulcanization reaction design of the tire tread rubber. In addition, in order to improve the reliability of the evaluation of Tire and Road Wear Particles, the evaluation was performed indoor laboratory test equipment that simulates the condition on real driving to exclude various environmental influences including minerals, driver's habits, road surface, weather, tire structure and pattern designs. After the evaluation in closed space, it is estimated that the amount of collected Tire and Road Wear Particles is 84% compared to 100% of the tire and road wear loss weight, of which 96.4~97.7% was around the road and 2.3~3.6% was in the air. As a result of analy sis of the collected Tire and Road Wear particles, the tire component existed 63~75% in the Tire and Road Wear Particles depending on the wear resistance performance of the tire.

1976년에 실시예정이었던 미국의 타이어 품질등급제(UTQGS)가 79년 3월부터 실시될 것 같다. UTQGS란 ①Tread 마모성능, ②Traction 성능, ③고속성능 등에 대해서 각각의 품질등급을 타이어에 표시할 것을 의무화시켜, 사용자가 타이어를 구입하는 경우 선택하기 쉽도록 편의를 도모하기 위한 목적이다. 이것은 당초 76년 1월부터 실시될 예정이었으나, 주로 Tread 마모성능의 테스트 방법과 표시방법을 둘러싸고 미국 High Way 안전청(NHTSA)과 미국의 타이어 메이커 간에 소송까지 벌어져서 그 실시가 지연되었다. 제1심에서는 타이어 메이커 측이 패소하여 타이어 메이커는 즉시 상소하였으나, 기간 재판의 진행 상태로 보아 UTQGS가 실시될 정망이 농후해졌다. 그러나 NHTSA는 내년부터 실시되는 동법령중에서 Radial을 제외하고 있어서, 세계의 주류로 되어 있는 Radial 타이어를 제외 하는 것은 「UTQGS의 효과를 반감하는 것」이라는 비판이 나오고 있다.

Tire wear is one of the factors that most drivers have concerned and is closely related to the tire life. It is very difficult to predict tire wear because the factors affecting tire wear seem to be very comlicated. Tire wear test should be performed at real conditions for the evaluation of tire wear. In this study, we analyze tire wear according to the severities of test courses by using the dedicated test method, more severe than real driving conditions. In order to simplify the factors affecting tire wear, we define roads’ driving severities to be driving severity numbers, DSNs which are obtained by measuring the lateral accelerations of test courses. And we compared tire wear rates and profiles with DSNs. These test results can provide the tire design guide to meet tire wear performance.

Wearing degree and uneven wearing detection algorithm using horizontal edge information is proposed in this paper. The noise in the input image is removed by bilateral filter, and then edges are extracted from the filtered image by using the proposed mask. As the tire is worn, grooves of tire shoulder or sipes are changed more than the vertical grooves. Therefore the edges from grooves of tire shoulder or sipes have more information about the tire wearing than the edges from vertical grooves. Proposed mask that is reflected this feature is used to extract the horizontal edges. After edge extraction, the edge image is represented in two-level system. The edge pixels of the binarization image are used to decide the wearing degree and uneven wearing. This proposed method can be used easily without any other equipments. The proposed method is conducted with a real vehicle, and the experimental results show the good performance of the proposed method in detecting wearing degree and uneven wearing.

타이어는 비록 둥글고 간단한 것으로만 보이고 있지만, 일단 자동차에 끼워서 움직이게 될 때에는 그 역할이야말로 실로 크다고 할 수 있다. 타이어의 기능을 크게 요약해 보면, 첫째, 타이어는 차량의 전하중을 지지하며, 둘째, 스프링작용을 하며, 셋째,자동차의 구동력ㆍ제동력을 전달하며, 자동차를 조종하기 쉽도록 한다. 이와같은 주요기능이 자동차의 성능에 매치되어 안전운행에 그 역할을 다하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 주요역할을 일시적이나마 도외시하여 과마모된 타이어나 상처가 심한 타이어 등을 사용하게 된다면, 불의의 교통사고를 일으킬 뿐 아니라 인명까지 잃게 된다. 그러므로 보다 타이어에 대한 일반인식이 달라지도록 계도하여 날로 더해가는 타이어로 인한 교통사고를 다소라도 미연에 방지하고자 본고에서는 "교통안전진흥공단"에서 발간한(85.4) "우리나라 도로운송차량안전기준의 개선방향에 관한 연구"(차성한, 김준식 연구원) 중에서 특히 타이어에 관한 내용만을 발췌하여 요약해 보았다 <편집자 주>

Terpene-modified phenolic resins were used to improve the tires wet traction related to the driving safety and also rolling resistance related to fuel efficiency. In this work, alpha-pinene, beta pinene, and delta limonene resins, which constitute different basic structures of terpene-modified phenolic resins, were individually added to the tread compounds of tires and their physical properties were compared with those of the alkyl phenol resin compounds. Alkyl phenolic resins showed no significant difference in tangent delta from terpene-modified phenolic resins at 0 ℃, which is related to wet traction, but showed higher tangent delta at 80 ℃, which is related to rolling resistance, indicating smaller fuel efficiency improvement effects. Among the terpene-modified phenolic resins, beta pinene one showed improved wet traction and fuel efficiency compared to those of other resins. Delta limonene resin showed the best wet traction improvement effect, and alkyl phenolic resins showed relatively high tensile strength and abrasion property. All terpene-modified resins exhibited better rolling resistance than those of alkyl phenolic ones so that they can be said to have better fuel efficiency improvement effects and also to improve other properties compared to those of blanks. Terpene-modified phenolic resins could be used when mixing tire compounds referring to the properties of the phenolic resins revealed in this work, which could result in preparing compounds with improved wet traction and rolling resistance.

The KUH-1's Wheel Brake Assembly which is Brake System is an essential component to perform flight mission for pilot. It has function of taxing, differential braking and parking to sustain landing capability. However, the skid and abrasion of tire were occurred in mass-produce operation. Also, if it is occurred on the ground, the flight can not be performed. In this case, the defect is a major cause of the decrease in the operation rate of aircraft. In this paper, the cause of the defect in flight was identified and the failure process was organized. Also, it describes design improvements which was derived from troubleshooting and suggests verification results of flight test.

This paper deals with the design optimization of the kinematic characteristics of an automotive suspension system. The kinematic characteristics of the suspension determine the attitude of the wheels, such as the toe and camber, which not only relates to tire wear during driving, but also greatly affects the control of the vehicle and its stability, which corresponds to the motion performance of the vehicle. Therefore, it is very important to determine the characteristics of the suspension mechanism at the initial stage of the design. In this study, a displacement analysis is performed to determine the kinematic properties of the suspension for the McPherson strut suspension. For this purpose, a set of constraint equations for the joints constituting the suspension mechanism was established and a program was developed to solve them. We also used ADS, a design optimization program, to obtain the desired kinematic characteristics of the suspension. As the design variables for optimization, we used the coordinates of the hard points, which are the points of attachment of the suspension to the vehicle body, and are defined as the summation of the toe-in for the up and down movement of the wheel as the objective function. As the constraint functions, the maximum camber angle and minimum roll center height, which are design requirements, are considered. As a result of this study, it was possible to determine the optimal locations of the hard points that satisfy both constraint functions and minimize the change of the toe-in.
