Key statement: A non-pneumatic resilient tire which derives its capacity to bear a load from laminated elements capable of supporting bending moments which include a stack of resilient sheets separated by a layer of rubber forming a beam capable of undergoing bending stress.
You get a big bending moment and a high displace- ment.
Local shrinkage variations introduce a bending moment to the geometry and thus cause warpage -- or, if the part is constrained, introduce residual stresses that can substantially reduce component life, and whose structural effects are very difficult to predict using conventional analytical tools.
