A study of the combined use of carbon black and silicon dioxide in tyre tread formulations. Part 3. Laboratory service tests of tread rubbers

摘要

At OOO NTTs Kama, equipment is available that makes it possible to assess the service properties of tyres under conditions as close as possible to actual service conditions [1]. Thus, LAT 100 laboratory testing equipment (VMI) makes it possible to determine important properties of tread rubbers such as their friction coefficient, rolling resistance, lateral force on cornering, and wear. As variable factors that influence these characteristics, it is possible to exchange the magnitude of load on the specimen, the rolling speed, the temperature of the support surface, and the deflection angle (distortion angle).
