    Ultraseal Tire Life Extender/sealer ® TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS EXTENDING TIRE LIFE TIRE SIZES, APPLICATIONS & SITUATIONS TO AVOID TUBE-TYPE TIRES MOUNTING SOLUTIONS OUT-OF-ROUND CONDITION AVOIDING VALVE CORE PROBLEMS OUT-OF-BALANCE CONDITION VIBRATIONS RUST AND CORROSION AVOIDING POTENTIAL TREAD SEPARATIONS & ZIPPER RUPTURES QUALITY CONTROL PUNCTURE DOES NOT SEAL ® Ultraseal Tire Life Extender/sealer TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXTEND TIRE LIFE Many years ago, Ultraseal R&D developed an anti-aging additive and incorporated it into its manufacturing process to reduce the detrimental effects related to heat buildup in tire casings. In the past, the U.S. Military had experienced excessive dry-rotting in many tires, primarily in desert environments. After installing Ultraseal, careful moni- toring showed that treated tires had significant reduction of incidencdes of dry rot as compared to untreated controls. Ultraseal’s proprietary ability to retard dry rot and maintain the casing's resilience is a remarkable achievement considering dry rot is typically caused by outside contaminants and UV radiation. Ultraseal Tire Life Extender/sealer cannot restore an old tire that has lost elasticity, however, it will inhibit and retard subsequent casing degradation. Retreading is a major cost savings for fleets. The more times a casing can be retreaded, the lower the cost per mile. This represents a substantial savings. Plus, retreading re- duces the environment impact by reducing the number of casings being recycled. Ultraseal Tire Life Extender/sealer will enhance the tire casing in many ways. In new tires, as well as retreads, Ultraseal virtually eliminates porosity and air migration, lowers heat and significantly reduces the occurance of tread, belt and zipper separations.

The safety messages presented in this section and throughout the manual are reminders to the operator to exercise extreme care when changing tires with these products. There are many variations in procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for changing tires, as well as the skill of the individual doing the work. Because of the vast number of wheel and tire applications and potential uses of the product, the manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate or provide advice or safety messages to cover every situation. It is the automotive technician's responsibility to be knowledgeable of the wheels and tires being changed. It is essential to use proper service methods and change tires in an appropriate and acceptable manner that does not endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area or the equipment or vehicle being serviced. It is assumed that, prior to using the EHP Series Tire Changers, the operator has a thorough understanding of the wheels and tires being changed.

  • Rolling Resistance During Cornering - Impact of Lateral Forces for Heavy- Duty Vehicles
    DEGREE PROJECT IN MASTER;S PROGRAMME, APPLIED AND COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS 120 CREDITS, SECOND CYCLE STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2015 Rolling resistance during cornering - impact of lateral forces for heavy- duty vehicles HELENA OLOFSON KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES Rolling resistance during cornering - impact of lateral forces for heavy-duty vehicles HELENA OLOFSON Master’s Thesis in Optimization and Systems Theory (30 ECTS credits) Master's Programme, Applied and Computational Mathematics (120 credits) Royal Institute of Technology year 2015 Supervisor at Scania AB: Anders Jensen Supervisor at KTH was Xiaoming Hu Examiner was Xiaoming Hu TRITA-MAT-E 2015:82 ISRN-KTH/MAT/E--15/82--SE Royal Institute of Technology SCI School of Engineering Sciences KTH SCI SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden URL: www.kth.se/sci iii Abstract We consider first the single-track bicycle model and state relations between the tires’ lateral forces and the turning radius. From the tire model, a relation between the lateral forces and slip angles is obtained. The extra rolling resis- tance forces from cornering are by linear approximation obtained as a function of the slip angles. The bicycle model is validated against the Magic-formula tire model from Adams. The bicycle model is then applied on an optimization problem, where the optimal velocity for a track for some given test cases is determined such that the energy loss is as small as possible. Results are presented for how much fuel it is possible to save by driving with optimal velocity compared to fixed average velocity. The optimization problem is applied to a specific laden truck.

  • Chapter 4 Vehicle Dynamics
    Chapter 4 Vehicle Dynamics 4.1. Introduction In order to design a controller, a good representative model of the system is needed. A vehicle mathematical model, which is appropriate for both acceleration and deceleration, is described in this section. This model will be used for design of control laws and computer simulations. Although the model considered here is relatively simple, it retains the essential dynamics of the system. 4.2. System Dynamics The model identifies the wheel speed and vehicle speed as state variables, and it identifies the torque applied to the wheel as the input variable. The two state variables in this model are associated with one-wheel rotational dynamics and linear vehicle dynamics. The state equations are the result of the application of Newton’s law to wheel and vehicle dynamics. 4.2.1. Wheel Dynamics The dynamic equation for the angular motion of the wheel is w& w =[Te - Tb - RwFt - RwFw]/ Jw (4.1) where Jw is the moment of inertia of the wheel, w w is the angular velocity of the wheel, the overdot indicates differentiation with respect to time, and the other quantities are defined in Table 4.1. 31 Table 4.1. Wheel Parameters Rw Radius of the wheel Nv Normal reaction force from the ground Te Shaft torque from the engine Tb Brake torque Ft Tractive force Fw Wheel viscous friction Nv direction of vehicle motion wheel rotating clockwise Te Tb Rw Ft + Fw ground Mvg Figure 4.1. Wheel Dynamics (under the influence of engine torque, brake torque, tire tractive force, wheel friction force, normal reaction force from the ground, and gravity force) The total torque acting on the wheel divided by the moment of inertia of the wheel equals the wheel angular acceleration (deceleration).

  • Winter Testing in Driving Simulators
    ViP publication 2017-2 Winter testing in driving simulators Authors Fredrik Bruzelius, VTI Artem Kusachov, VTI www.vipsimulation.se ViP publication 2017-2 Winter testing in driving simulators Authors Fredrik Bruzelius, VTI Artem Kusachov, VTI www.vipsimulation.se Cover picture: Original photo by Hejdlösa Bilder AB, edited by Artem Kusachov Reg. No., VTI: 2014/0006-8.1 Printed in Sweden by VTI, Linköping 2018 Preface The project Winter testing in driving simulator (WinterSim) was a PhD student project carried out by the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) within the ViP Driving Simulation Centre (www.vipsimualtion.se). The focus of the project was to enable a realistic winter simulation environment by studying the required components and suggesting improvements to the current common practice. Two main directions were studied, motion cueing and tire dynamics. WinterSim started in November 2014 and lasted for three years, ending in December 2016. Findings from both research directions have been published in journals and at scientific conferences, and the project resulted in the licentiate thesis “Motion Perception and Tire Models for Winter Conditions in Driving Simulators” (Kusachov, 2016). This report summarises the thesis and the undertaken work, i.e. gives a short overall presentation of the project and the major findings. The WinterSim project was funded up to a licentiate thesis through the ViP competence centre (i.e. by ViP partners and the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems, VINNOVA), Test Site Sweden and the internal PhD student program at VTI. The project was carried out by Artem Kusachov (PhD student) and Fredrik Bruzelius (project manager and supervisor of the PhD student), both at VTI.
