Assigned: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Key statement: The invention includes a silica-rich rubber composition, which exhibits good processing characteristics and improved wet
traction characteristics, a method for making and a tire having a tread component including the same.
The LCRTF has sufficient mobility to operate on the various types of terrain found in defense and peace-keeping operations including work areas where high flotation and
traction characteristics are required.
Based on the carried out analyses and the simulation, a laboratory model was first designed and realised, following a prototype of the system for simultaneous multichannel measurement, transfer, and acquisition of mechanical and electrical quantities relevant for evaluation of traction characteristics of an electric locomotive in service.
Angular velocity w of the drive axle is a parameter used for determining several important traction characteristics of a locomotive.
It should be noted that the slip control system determines the traction characteristics of the locomotive to a large extent.
The ACD unit employs an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch center differential, vectoring drive torque to the front and rear according to different driving conditions to realize the best balance between steering response and
traction characteristics on Tarmac, Gravel, or Snow surfaces.
More often than not, tan [delta] is the viscoelastic property of interest given its correlation to rolling resistance (due to hysteresis causing heat build-up) and to wet traction characteristics.
In summary, regardless of the deformation mode used, F-S-SBR provided improved fuel economy and winter traction characteristics compared to normal S-SBR.
The lower glass transition of the F-S-SBR elastomer, due to its slightly lower styrene content (Tg = -31[degrees]C), is responsible for the improved winter traction characteristics versus the control S-SBR (Tg = -24[degrees]C) (ref.
The unit seamlessly interacts with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) and Brake Traction Control systems to ensure torque is transferred as needed, providing better handling and
traction characteristics.
SR155 is said to be particularly suited for high-performance applications where excellent tread wear, handling and
traction characteristics are desired.
Since this project was focused on developing an outsole material with improved wet
traction characteristics, wet surfaces were also used in mechanical testing.
