REVIEWFig. 1 Functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>wheel</strong>s with tyres and requirements on <strong>the</strong>m [2]Fur<strong>the</strong>r specific requirements on tyres, e.g. <strong>vehicle</strong>s handlingm<strong>at</strong>erial in metalworks close to metallurgical furnaces where tyresare exposed to extremely high temper<strong>at</strong>ures are as well as to sharpobjects.3. Definition <strong>of</strong> a tyreTyres as heterogeneous composite bodies can be defined fromvarious viewpoints as shown in Fig. 2. From a geometrical point<strong>of</strong> view <strong>the</strong> tyre is an annulus, from <strong>the</strong> viewpoint <strong>of</strong> strength andflexibility it can be considered as a pressure vessel and with respectto <strong>the</strong> structure <strong>of</strong> individual parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tyre casing and respectivedifferent properties a tyre can be considered as a part withanisotropic properties. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, a tyre can be st<strong>at</strong>ically anddynamically loaded, which is given by <strong>the</strong> actual oper<strong>at</strong>ing condition.A specific requirement on tyres is safety <strong>at</strong> high speeds and <strong>the</strong>consequential measures aimed <strong>at</strong> preventing f<strong>at</strong>al road accidents.62 ● COMMUNICATIONS 3/2008
