Framework for Ultrasonic Inspection in the Army Tire Retread Process

Abstract

This final report presents (a) the results of a field evaluation of the test plan (the plan was completed earlier in the program and submitted under separate cover), and (b) a model for an economic analysis to be performed with the data obtained in a subsequent closed loop evaluation (scheduled for June 79 in Ober-Ramstadt). In summary, we show that a viable evaluation plan was developed, field tested and is ready for use in the planned evaluation. The RRAD ultrasonic tire inspection data analysis verifies previous data and indicates the potential for cost savings. The framework for the cost savings analysis provided herein delineates the suggested analysis rationale and indicates the data required to provide a viable economic analysis.
