APPLICATION OF THE FEA OF TIRE STRUCTURES TO THE SCREENING OF BODY TURN UP HEIGHTS OF RADIAL TRUCK TIRES

The delamination or breakage around the body turn up section point in radial truck tires usually occurs, which affects enormously their endurance. In this paper, the FEA of tire structures is used to analyze in detail the stress analysis parameters in the critical regions in radial truck tires with different body turn up heights and based on these, the body turn up heights are screened.
