Analysis of an Aircraft Tire

Abstract

This report summarizes the analysis conducted to determine the stresses in an isotropic cast carcass tire and in a bias-ply tire using the MARC computer code. A non-linear analysis was conducted using "Mooney" and "Herrman" constitutive theory. The models were subjected to incremental inflation pressures. Stresses and displacements were compared to experimental data available. The cast carcass tire displacements correlated very well with actual displacements as a function of inflation pressure. The bias-ply tire results were not as satisfactory.
