Stress effect study on 6 different pattern of tyres for size 175/70 R13

摘要

Generally stress is a measure of the average amount of force exerted per unit area. The main objective of this project is to study the stress effect generated on tyre while in static state scenario. Also one of the main objectives is to differentiate each tread pattern design through series of stress analysis result such as generated stress and deformation result. The procedure included achieving this project’s objective starts from Contact Patch Capturing, Contact Patch dimensioning, converting them to CAD drawing by using SolidWorks, obtaining stress and deformation result through COSMOS-Express analysis, and graph was plotted from various tabulated data gained from COSMOS-Express result. From the processed data, the tyre DUNLOP SP SPORT LM703 with symmetric tread pattern shows the best result in terms of stress generated on contact patch and deformation of the tyre when a certain pressure exerted on the tyre compared to other tyre.
