Design, Development & Analysis of 2 Wheeler Tire To Improve Fuel Efficiency for Tire Size 2.75-18 48p Dunlop Magic

摘要

Tire is a toroidal shaped inflatable envelop made up of an elastic material, natural or synthetic rubber as a blend, thereof, reinforced with textile or a ply fabric carcass enclosing bead rings. Tire is the most important component of any vehicle and it establishes the only contact between the vehicle and the road. Without tire development, motor vehicle transport would not have been possible. It may be noted that more than 40% of word's rubber production finds its way into tires. The earliest tires were bands of iron (later steel), placed on wooden wheels, used on carts & wagons. The first practical pneumatic tire was made by the Scot John Boyd Dunlop for his son bicycle, in an effort to prevent the headaches his son had while riding on rough roads. The pneumatic tire also has the more important of effect of vastly reducing rolling resistance when compare to solid tire. The goal of our project is to design and development of 2 Wheeler tire for an M/S HMCL new model vehicle. The Pulley wheel testing equipment's are designed to measure the frictional losses seen in a derailleur pulley at a given RPM. From this project, the mechanical properties of the class of tread compound (6006 code) and tests conducted for before and after tire manufacturing and determination of rolling resistance for existing and modified tire. Details of processing of these tire sizes and the tests conducted on them have been described in the chapter 5. The results of various tests are noted. They include evaluation of tensile strength, Specific gravity, hardness, %elongation and M/S HMCL new model vehicle has been studied and discussed.
