Measurement of Stress States in 20 x 4.4 Aircraft Tire

Abstract

Measurements were made on the stress state of the tread carcass interface on a 20 x 4.4 Type VII 12 PR aircraft tire operating on curved surfaces simulating a number of different roadwheel diameters. The general results of these measurements show that the stress levels in the tire increase as the roadwheel diameters decrease, using the adjusted pressure schedules given in MIL-T-5041F, and that in all cases the stress levels are higher on curved roadwheels than on a flat surface such as a runway.
