ISOLATION OF FLANS BY USE OF THERMAL DIFFERENTIALS ON A TIRE UNDER MILD LOADING CONDITIONS

AN EXPERIMENT WAS CONDUCTED USING A MONSANTO INFRARED TIRE FLAW DETECTOR (TFD) TO CONFIRM THE HYPOTHESIS THAT AREAS IN TIRES HAVING POOR ADHESION OR SEPARATIONS TEND TO ACHIEVE A GREATER RATE OF TEMPERATURE RISE UNDER CONDITIONS OF MODERATE STRESS THAN UNFLAWED AREAS. THREE TYPES OF STRESS WERE TRIED: CONSTANT TIRE DEFLECTION; ALTERATION OF INFLATION PRESSURE; ALTERATION OF WHEEL SPEED. TIRE-TO-WHEEL FORCE IN AT LEAST ONE CASE GAVE EVIDENCE OF GREATER THERMAL RISE RATES THAN IN OTHER AREAS OF THE TIRE BELIEVED TO BE NORMAL. /AUTHOR/
