Abstract A tire slips circumferentially on the rim when subjected to a driving or braking torque greater than the maximum tire-rim frictional torque. The balance of the tire-rim assembly achieved with weight attachment at certain circumferential locations in tire mounting is then lost, and vibration or adverse effects on handling may result when the tire is rolled. Bead fitment refers to the fit between a tire and its rim, and in particular, to whether a gap exists between the two. Rim slip resistance, or the maximum tire-rim frictional torque, is the integral of the product of contact pressure, friction coefficient, and the distance to the wheel center over the entire tire-rim interface. Analytical solutions and finite element analyses were used to study the dependence of the contact pressure distribution on tire design and operating attributes such as mold ring profile, bead bundle construction and diameter, and inflation pressure, etc. The tire-rim contact pressure distribution consists of two parts. The pressure on the ledge and the flange, respectively, comes primarily from tire-rim interference and inflation. Relative contributions of the two to the total rim slip resistance vary with tire types, depending on the magnitudes of ledge interference and inflation pressure. Based on the analyses, general guidelines are established for bead design modification to improve rim slip resistance and mountability, and to reduce the sensitivity to manufacturing variability. An iterative design and analysis procedure is also developed to improve bead fitment.

Effect Of Surface

In order to decrease accidents of slips and falls, COFs of rubber samples with different surface roughness were measured by Brungraber Mark II. And the correlation coefficients between roughness parameters and COF were calculated. The rusults have shown that the COF increases with surface roughness and the correlation coefficient between Sq and COF is highest. In general, almost all the roughness parameters used in the study have high correlation with COF. Parameters had the highest correlation with COF depends on the materials used and test conditions.

The Coefficient Of Friction

Slip resistance of footwear sole affects the comfort and safety of shoes directly, and slip resistance is mainly expressed by the coefficient of friction. Within a certain range, the greater the coefficient of friction, the better the slip resistance. In order to determine the safety performance of shoes, the system will obtain the coefficient of friction by measuring the tension and pressure put on shoes, so it’s very important to do the measurement precisely. Based on QT development environment and Monitoring-controlling System of footwear sole friction, the software will execute real-time receiving, processing, controlling, displaying, drawing and saving collected data of tension and pressure via serial communication and finally on the basis of the system test to verify the correctness of the software and measurement accuracy

Noise pollution caused by vehicle traffic is one of the major problems in urban areas with road expansion. Due to the increase in the cost of construction and installation of sound walls to deal with noise pollution, to deal with this problem should look for methods that do not have additional costs and operating costs. Improving the pavement texture is one of the most effective ways to reduce tire noise and pavement and reduce the asphalt surface’s sound. To evaluate the slip resistance of asphalt, the English pendulum test according to ASTM E303-74 standard was performed on wet parts of asphalt in wet conditions. This device is used to examine the fine texture of the pavement. The number of pavement friction with a negative coefficient of 0.1469 has an inverse ratio with the intensity of sound level increases the number of pavement friction aligned with the amount of sound level created decreases. On the other hand, the depth of pavement texture, which is determined as the size of pavement materials, with a coefficient of 0.2810, has a direct ratio with the amount of noise pollution, and the smaller the number of fine-grained materials used will increase the sound level. According to the results of the coefficients estimated from the equation, it can be concluded that the preparation of pavements with an amount of friction can reduce the amount of noise pollution emitted by the movement of vehicles, especially in urban areas and sensitive areas. Therefore, it is recommended that in acoustically sensitive areas, in preparing pavements, arrangements be made to use coarser materials and maintain proper pavement resistance. For this purpose, in this article, the pavement’s texture is examined in the amount of noise created due to the tire’s interaction and the pavement.

Safety Features

Choosing slip-resistant footwear from the whole host of products on the market can be difficult. Sole descriptions are varied, from improving the grip performance to excellent multi-directional slip-resistance. Often, footwear is just described as „slip-resistant‟ and the brochure do not describe the conditions for which the footwear is most suitable. Footwear selection has to take account of several factors in addition to slip resistance, such as comfort, durability and any other safety features required, such as toe protection. Accidents are expensive there are many hidden and uninsured costs. But it may be more comfortable or attractive ensuring that staff wears it and it may last longer. Specify the main surfaces and contaminants which cause slip risks in the workplace, and seek our supplier‟s advice on suitable footwear. Some generally slip-resistant footwear may not be suitable in specific demanding conditions. In this research, footwear are tested in water and oil conditioned floor tiles and the final result is compared with both conditions
