Abstract A method is described to predict relative body turn up endurance of radial truck tires using the finite element method. The elastomers in the tire were simulated by incompressible elements for which the nonlinear mechanical properties were described by the Mooney-Rivlin model. The belt, carcass, and bead were modeled by an equivalent orthotropic material model. The contact constraint of a radial tire structure with a flat foundation and rigid rim was treated using the variable constraint method. Three groups of tires with different body turn up heights under inflation and static footprint loading were analyzed by using the finite element method. Based on the detail analysis for stress analysis parameters in the critical regions in the tires, the relative body turn up edge endurance was predicted.

Reduced time and, by the same token, the cost of the project is a crucial factor in contemporary construction. This article presents a method for the exact optimisation of a resource-constrained scheduling problem. Based on the Critical Path Method, graph theory and linear programming, an algorithm was developed and the FROPT program was written in Matlab to minimise the execution time of the task. By using the newly-created program, sample networks were calculated and the results were compared with results obtained by using the MS Project scheduling program (using approximation algorithm). The execution time obtained by using FROPT were on average 10% shorter than those obtained using MS Project. In selected cases the improvement in execution time reached 25%. A deterministic approach to the problem may shorten planned project times and bring financial benefits. Due to the exponential complexity of the algorithm, it is most useful in solving small or highly coherent networks. The algorithm and program may result in benefits not offered by commercial software for planners of building projects.
