2022년 기준 국내 폐타이어 발생량은 약 37만톤으로 그 중 88.9%인 약 32만 9천톤이 재활용되는 것으로 조사되었다. 하지만 이 중 약 75%가 시멘트소성로용 등 열이용 분야에 사용되었다. 폐타이어는 대부분 고무와 플라스틱으로 이루어져 있기 때문에, 고온에서 분 해되면서 다양한 유해가스와 오염물질이 발생할 수 있고, 이러한 공해물질은 적극적으로 관리되지 않으면 대기오염, 수질 오염 등 다 양한 환경문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 때문에 친환경적이고 지속적인 재활용에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 폐타이어 고무 분말을 아스팔트 혼합물의 골재 일부로 치환하여 재활용하는 접근 방식은 환경에 미치는 영향을 완화할 뿐만 아니라 천연 자원의 고갈 측면에서도 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 타이어분말을 아스팔트 혼합물에 적용하는 것은 환경 문제를 해결하고 자원 효율성을 높이는 두 가지 이점을 가지고 있다. 폐타이어 분말을 아스팔트 바인더와 아스팔트 혼합물에 적용할 경우 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 DSR, BBR, MSCR 등의 시험 을 진행하였으며, 아스팔트 혼합물 내 폐타이어 분말의 분포를 조사하기 위해 SEM을 실시하였다. 또한 IDEAL-CT와 IDEAL-Rutting 시 험을 통해 아스팔트 혼합물의 성능을 평가하였다.

PURPOSES : The aim of this study is to investigate the enhancement of performance and the mix design method for asphalt mixtures utilizing ferronickel slag, an industrial by-product METHODS : To enhance the performance of FNS asphalt, waste tire powder (CR) was incorporated, and the characteristics of FNS asphalt aggregate, along with the impact of CR, were evaluated through the mix design process. RESULTS : CR is found to be suitable with a size of 30 mesh, and the optimal usage amount is determined to be 1±0.1% of the mixture weight, considering dense grade asphalt mixture. Volumetric design considering the swelling characteristics of CR is necessary, and a mixing design with a consistent tendency can be achieved only when an appropriate VMA is secured. CONCLUSIONS : The mix design for FNS-R asphalt mixture requires an increase of approximately 1% in VMA compared to conventional dense-graded asphalt mixtures to accommodate the swelling of CR. Additionally, FNS-R asphalt exhibits improved resistance to rutting comparable to modified asphalt and meets quality standards, including stripping resistance.

A non-pneumatic tire (NPT), unlike a pneumatic tire, is a tire that acts as air pressure with spokes, and has the advantage of not requiring maintenance of air pressure and the risk of puncture of the pneumatic tire. Recently, many technological advances are taking place in non-pneumatic tire (NPT) using artificial intelligence technology, and non-pneumatic tire manufacturers are actively conducting research and development. Here, in order to compare and analyze the technological competitiveness of major patent applicants, non-pneumatic tire-related patents that have been applied for Japan, the United States, China, Korea, Germany, France, and the European Union Patent Office are reviewed through the patent applications of global tire manufacturers.

PURPOSES : In this study, we aimed to develop an absorption and insulation soundproof board with excellent noise reduction ability using waste tire powder. METHODS : An optimum mix ratio of sound absorption material and sound insulation material was derived through a sound absorption test and a compressive strength test; a combustion test was performed to confirm whether the combustibility evaluation criteria were satisfied. Additionally, to derive a shape with excellent noise reduction ability, noise prediction simulation was performed. RESULTS : Through the sound absorption test, compressive strength test, and combustion test, an optimum mix ratio of sound absorption material and sound insulation material as well as a shape with excellent noise reduction ability was derived through noise prediction simulation. CONCLUSIONS : An absorption and insulation soundproof board was applied with sound absorption material and sound insulation material developed using waste tire powder. The recycling rate improved; thus, excellent noise reduction ability can be expected by developing not only materials but also shapes.

A theoretical model has been studied to describe the sound radiation analysis for structure vibration noise of tire under the action of random moving line forces. When a tire is analyzed, it had been modeled as curved beams with distributed springs and dashpots that represent the radial, tangential stiffness and damping of tire, respectively. The reaction due to fluid loading on the vibratory response of the curved beam is taken into account. The curved beam is assumed to occupy the plane y=0 and to be axially infinite. The curved beam material and elastic foundation are assumed to be lossless Bernoulli-Euler beam theory including a tension force(T), damping coefficient (C) and stiffness of foundation(κ2) will be employed. The expression for sound power is integrated numerically and the results examined as a function of Mach number(M), wave-number ratio(γ) and stiffness factor(ψ). The experimental investigation for structure vibration noise of vehicle tire under the action of random moving line forces has been made. Based on the STSF(Spatial Transformation of Sound Field) techniques, the sound power and sound radiation are measured. Results strongly suggest that operation condition in the tire material properties and design factors of the tire govern the sound power and sound radiation characteristics.

초록 close In this study, the structural analyses were carried out with the old and new wheel models installed at the automotive tires. The stress and deformation at the middle circumference of wheel were seen to be greatest at two models. Also, the stress and deformation were smallest at the edge of wheel. The maximum deformation of the old model B is about five times larger than that of the new model A. The maximum equivalent stress of the old model B can be seen to be twice as large as the new model A. Also, it can be seen that the new model A is more stable than the old model B in terms of strength. It can be seen that the deformation energy of the old model B is 19 times larger than that of the new model A. And it is thought that the new model A is much more durable than the old model B in terms of impact. By utilizing this study result, the stress and deformation are investigated without the strength test of wheel installed at the automotive tire, and the durability can be seen.

트랙터의 보급이 늘어나는 만큼 올바른 사용법 및 점검이 중요하다. 특히 타이어 공기압에 따른 토양다짐 현상, 연료의 과소비, 안전사고를 예방하기 위해 간편한 측정기술이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대중적 모바일 영상 취득 장치인 스마트폰 카메라를 활용해 획득한 이미지 데이터로 타이어 압력을 예측하였다. 전통적 캘리브레이션을 응용하여 왜곡률을 보정하였다. 트랙터 타이어에 공기압을 0 kPa에서 300 kPa까지 주입하면서 구간별 타이어 촬영을 하였으며, 타이어 중심을 기준으로 상, 하, 좌, 우의 픽셀을 측정하였다. 하중을 받는 타이어의 기하학적 특성을 고려하여 중심과 바닥의 픽셀을 보정식을 통해 보정한 뒤 압력에 따른 픽셀의 변화를 도출하였다.

In this study, in order to solve the quality problem (Safety accident) that the chain breaks out of the wheel gear due to the problem of the spare tire carrier device, the wheel gear is rotated in such a way that the upper part of the chain is caught on one side of the triangular wheel gear. When falling, the tire falls due to the chain falling off and the chain is caught by the wheel gear so that it cannot bear the tire load and slip occurs. Also, in order to solve the quality problem that the chain is caught (Due to malfunction), the “ㄷ” shaped chain the guide should play the role of guiding the movement of the chain by holding the chain in the direction. The technical development goal is to solve the problem of the chain dropping and the chain hanging from the wheel gear of this product.

PURPOSES : This paper is aimed at suggesting a novel approach for determining the pavement condition rating based on the tire-surface friction noise using a machine learning algorithm as a low-end pavement condition monitoring system. METHODS : Vehicle on-board type noise measurement system according to the ISO11819-2, and the K-nearest neighbors with dynamic time warping algorithm were applied. The system and algorithm were empirically tested with a field study. RESULTS : The developed AI- and noise-based pavement condition monitoring system demonstrated significantly positive results with a precision 90.8%, recall 84.8%, and f1-score 86.1%. CONCLUSIONS: We herein confirmed that the acoustic property between the tire and road surface can be used for monitoring pavement conditions. It is believed this finding presented a new paradigm for monitoring pavement conditions based on visual information. However, extensive studies focused on the practical application of this method are required.
