Abstract

An adjustable track system (10) for a vehicle (12) that includes a drive wheel (22) in rotational communication with a bare axle (24). Rotation of the drive wheel (22) causes movement of the track (26) of the track system. A sliding mechanism (30) is present and is configured for allowing a position of a frame (28) to be adjusted in the width direction relative to the bare axle (24). The system (10) includes an adjustment mechanism (32) that has an attached configuration that allows the frame (28) and the drive wheel (22) to move simultaneously in the width direction relative to the bare axle (24).

Abstract

The invention relates to a tyre with improved performance in terms of transverse grip on snow-covered surfaces without a resulting impairment in performance in terms of grip on wet and dry surfaces. The tread is obtained by repeating the tread pattern elements (MA, MB) at pitches (PA, PB) over a complete circuit of the tyre, with PA

Abstract

A heavy-duty vehicle tire with complex tread pattern, and is intended to improve the resistance to irregular wear of the tread thereof. The tire (1) has a tread (2) with at least one circumferential complex cut (6) formed by an alternation of external cavities (7) and internal cavities (8), each external cavity (7) having a length (L1), wherein the length (L1) of each external cavity (7) is equal to at least 1.5% and at most 12% of the external diameter (D) of the tire (1), as measured on the tire when new and free.

Abstract

A computer-implemented forecasting method (200) forecasts a number of residual landings (remaining LPT) corresponding to achievement of a removal threshold of an identified tire, which is output by a forecasting model. During the forecasting method, a value of the removal threshold of the identified tire, which is installed on an identified aeroplane, is compared with the number of residual landings (remaining LPT) before achievement of the removal threshold of the identified tire, and as a consequence, a system (100) that carries out the forecasting method creates a maintenance schedule for the identified tire.

Abstract

A method for ascertaining the deformation of a tire comprises: fastening a sensor to the tire so as to generate an accelerometric signal in the direction normal to the crown; acquiring (201) a temporal wheel-turn signal SigTDR (101) comprising the amplitude of the acceleration while rolling; determining a reference speed Wreference (202) associated with a portion of the wheel-turn signal SigTDR; normalizing (203) the portion of the wheel-turn signal SigTDR by a variable which is a function F proportional to the square of Wreference; angularly resampling (204) the portion of the wheel-turn signal SigTDR; defining an energy density S (205) from the angularly resampled normalized wheel-turn signal SigTdR using a threshold A; and identifying the deformation of the tire Def % (206) as a function G of the energy density S.

Abstract

The rolling resistance of a tire has been improved without degrading industrial performance. The sidewall (30) consists of two sub-layers. A first sub-layer (FE1) of thickness E1 and volume V1 provides the expected protection functions of a sidewall as the outer wall of the tire, and a second sub-layer of the sidewall (FE2) of thickness E2 and volume V2 is optimized at low hysteresis to improve rolling resistance. The ratio V1/(V1+V2) of the volumes of the two sub-layers (FE1, FE2) is less than or equal to 0.3. The elongation at break of the compound of FE1 is greater than or equal to 200% measured at a temperature of 100° C., and the viscoelastic loss of the compound of FE2, Tan(δ)max, is less than or equal to 0.10.

Abstract

The tread pattern of a tire for a vehicle for agricultural use comprises two rows of lugs (R1, R2), a first row being made up of a circumferential distribution of at least two families of lugs, over one revolution of the wheel; a first family is reproduced with a shortest spacing S, and a second family is reproduced with a longest spacing L; the tread pattern of the tread is designed such that the distance between the axially outer end of a following lug and the axially inner end at the centre of the tread is referred to as the overlap distance R. The ratio of the shortest spacing S of the family of lugs to the longest spacing L, “S/L”, lies in the range [0.6; 0.8]. The circumferential overlap distance R between the first and second circumferential rows of lugs is constant around the entire circumference of the tire.

Abstract

The invention relates to a tyre (1) for a passenger vehicle of which the performance in terms of rolling resistance has been improved without adversely affecting the transverse slip stiffness. The bead (50) is made more flexible by the use of low-hysteresis materials. The transverse slip stiffness is compensated for through the use of a rigid, low-hysteresis sidewall layer (30). The layers of compounds of the lower region having a viscoelastic loss Tan(δ)max less than or equal to 0.10 represent a volume of between 30% and 90% of the total volume of said lower region, and the elastic shear modulus G′ (M3) of each sidewall layer is in the range [0.5; 10] MPa.
