    Exxon™ Butyl Rubber Innertube Technology Manual

    Exxon™ butyl rubber Exxon™ butyl rubber innertube technology manual Country name(s) 2 - Exxon™ butyl rubber innertube technology manual Exxon™ butyl rubber innertube technology manual - 3 Abstract Many bias and radial tires have innertubes. Radial truck tube-type tires are particularly common, and in many instances, such as in severe service, off-road applications, are preferred over tubeless radial tire constructions. The technology requirements for tubes for such tires is, in many respects, equally demanding when compared to that for the tire and wheel in the assembly. This manual has been prepared to describe how butyl rubber is important in meeting the demanding performance requirements of tire innertubes. Representative innertube compound formulations and compound properties are discussed along with typical processing guidelines of the compound in the manufacture of innertubes. Chlorobutyl rubber based compound formulations are also used in innertubes. Such innertubes show good heat resistance, durability, allow greater flexibility in compounding, and process equally well as regular butyl rubber tube compounds. An extensive discussion of bicycle tire innertubes has been included. Service conditions can range from simple commuting and recreation to high speed competitive sporting applications. Like automobile and truck tire innertubes, tubes for bicycle tires can thus have demanding performance requirements. Guidelines on troubleshooting provide a checklist for the factory process engineer to enhance manufacturing efficiency, high

Belegundu Professor of Mechanical Engineering *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT For an efficient full vehicle model simulation, a multi-body system (MBS) simulation is frequently adopted. By conducting the MBS simulations, the dynamic and steady-state responses of the sprung mass can be shortly predicted when the vehicle runs on an irregular road surface such as step curb or pothole. A multi-body vehicle model consists of a sprung mass, simplified tire models, and suspension system to connect them. For the simplified tire model, a rigid ring tire model is mostly used due to its efficiency. The rigid ring tire model consists of a rigid ring representing the tread and the belt, elastic sidewalls, and rigid rim. Several in-plane and out-of-plane parameters need to be determined through tire tests to represent a real pneumatic tire. Physical tire tests are costly and difficult in operations.

    Mid-Term '21 Plan Beginning with Our Forecast for the Company’S Future Operating Environment

    TOYO TIRE Corporation New Medium-Term Business Plan “Mid-Term ’21 Plan” (Presentation scripts) Table Greetings everyone. My name is Takashi Shimizu, the President of Toyo Tire Corporation. I am pleased to share with you today our Mid-Term ’21 plan. In the past, we would estimate the likely size of our company at the end of the next mid-term period, and base our plan on that scenario. This time, we began by reaffirming our strengths and the ideal state of our business, and confronting possible changes and challenges unique to us. From there, we discussed what transformation was necessary for the company to reach a higher stage of development. In the limited time available, I will provide you with key highlights of our new mid- term business plan. Page 2 : The TOYO TIRE Philosophy One year ago, COVID-19 began its full-scale spread across the world. Since then, each of us has had to live through this uncharted "life with Covid." And we won’t be returning to that life before the pandemic. We must instead face this irreversible paradigm shift and find a way to maintain and grow our business in a sustainable manner. We do this by reaffirming a future vision for our company. That includes our relationship with different stakeholders such as our employees. In the U.S., we did not suspend our operations. Rather, we were designated an “essential business”, which allowed us to continue to do business. It made us realize the critical role of the tire business there. We included our Corporate Philosophy on the first slide of this presentation because we want the world to know why we exist, and our plan to live up to those words.
