The biaxial wheel fatigue test provides tests under laboratory conditions which resemble actual loading conditions as closely as possible.
Natural or synthetic rubber are typically the primary material use in tire production however, thermoplastic elastomers are often used to produce tires. Tire manufacturers need to study their compounds for viscosity properties and swelling at the exit of the die.
轮胎帘线非常牢固,夹持试样会具有挑战性。这些帘线坚固耐用,为轮胎提供重要的加固和结构,是汽车安全的一个组成部分。测试时必须非常小心,以避免因夹持不当导致的过早失效。
在测试时,弹性体的伸长率是轮胎制造商用来预测轮胎在使用中的行为的重要特性。但是由于弹性体的本质,在测试过程中会遇到挑战。
