Reinforcement of the thin-wall structures under internal pressure by braiding method has many applications in different industries. In this way, the effective braid angle determination will be important in achieving a stable and resistant structure. The main aim of this work was finite element modeling and experimental validation of these structures under internal pressure. Therefore, a thin silicon pipe as the core was covered with different braid angles in braiding machine and then was subjected to internal pressure. After that, a finite element model was implemented for a repeatable part of the samples as a unit cell using ANSYS software to calculate the pressure–diameter diagram of the samples. Finally, in order to verify the accuracy of the finite element models was recorded the increase in braided pipes diameter up to rupture by camera and prepared pressure–diameter diagram for all samples by image processing method. The comparison of the finite element method results and image processing showed a good agreement with high accuracy. Also was observed in finite element modeling that the relationship between diameter-pressure in 55 degrees was rather linear, generating forces in the pipe surface of thin silicon due to internal pressure along braid strands direction as confirmed by image analysis.

Abstract Tire vibration modes are known to play a key role in vehicle ride, for applications ranging from passenger cars to earthmover equipment. Inputs to the tire such as discrete impacts (harshness), rough road surfaces, tire nonuniformities, and tread patterns can potentially excite tire vibration modes. Many parameters affect the frequency of tire vibration modes: tire size, tire construction, inflation pressure, and operating conditions such as speed, load, and temperature. This paper discusses the influence of these parameters on tire vibration modes and describes how these tire modes influence vehicle ride quality. Results from both finite element modeling and modal testing are discussed.

Abstract Development of the banded radial tire is discussed. A major contribution of this tire design is a reliable run-flat capability over distances exceeding 160 km (100 mi). Experimental tire designs and materials are considered; a brief theoretical discussion of the mechanics of operation is given based on initial two-dimensional studies and later on more complete finite element modeling. Results of laboratory tests for cornering, rolling resistance, and braking are presented. Low rolling resistance, good cornering and braking properties, and low tread wear rate along with good puncture resistance are among the advantages of the banded radial tire designs.
