The tread design, together with the tread compound, is responsible of the grip characteristics of tyres. The aim of this work is to develop an engineering tool that is able to predict the stiffness distribution, i.e. the grip characteristics, of a given tread design without the need of producing a prototype.

Abstract
The tread design, together with the tread compound, is responsible of the grip characteristics of tyres. The aim of this work is to develop an engineering tool that is able to predict the stiffness distribution, i.e. the grip characteristics, of a given tread design without the need of producing a prototype. This is done by combining a graphical pre-processor developed in Matlab, that is able to convert a drawing into a mesh, and a commercial FEA code.File in questo prodotto:
