LOAD AND INTERNAL STRESSES IN A WHEEL TIRE

This article on the problem of unusual wheel tread wear, including cracking, pitting and material deformation, shows the relationship between material, wheel load, friction and contact surface. By means of formulae, some of which were derived from exhaustive tests, it should thus be possible by using suitable parameters to determine the optimal material for the particular wheel tyre.
