Aircraft tire reinforcement structures: GoodyearRecent Research Landscape

Internal stress concentrations in belt and carcass layers limit the load-carrying capacity and high-speed structural integrity of heavy-duty and aircraft tires.

What technical problems is Goodyear addressing in Aircraft tire reinforcement structures?

Crown load carrying capacity

(9)evidences

High-load aircraft and truck operations cause crown structural fatigue and belt separation under extreme internal energy and impact stresses.

Carcass penetration damage

(17)evidences

High centrifugal forces and landing impacts cause separation or tearing at the belt edges and shoulder portions during high-speed operation.

Bead area weight stress

(6)evidences

High mechanical stress at the carcass ply turnup causes separation and durability loss in the bead and sidewall regions.

High-speed centrifugal deformation

(14)evidences

High-speed aircraft operations subject tire crowns to extreme centrifugal forces and heat, leading to rapid material degradation and premature structural failure.
