16 Feb 1988TL;DR: In this paper, a rubber composition for a tire tread of 100 parts by weight (pbw) diene system rubber to which are added carbon black and y pbw of softening agent.
Abstract: This invention is a rubber composition for a tire tread of 100 parts by weight (pbw) diene system rubber to which are added x pbw of carbon black and y pbw of softening agent. The softening agent contains z pbw of liquid polymer. The amounts of x, y and z are described by the inequalities (5/8)x-20≦y≦x and (y/5)+5≦z. The liquid polymer has a flow points of 20° C. or below. The rubber composition provided here gives a tire tread with improved performance in terms of grade climbing ability, braking and standing start, on ice as well as on snow. Besides, the service life of the rubber is prolonged, and tread performance deterioration is reduced to a minimum.

TL;DR: In this article, the British Portable Skid Tester (BPST) wet skid resistance of eighteen sulfur curable polymers which might be used for automobile tires was evaluated in relation to the viscoelastic properties of the polymer systems.
Abstract: Many studies concerning tire wet skid resistance have been published in the past, but they have in general involved the use of only a few grades of SBR and BR. We have evaluated the British Portable Skid Tester (BPST) wet skid resistance of eighteen sulfur curable polymers which might be used for automobile tires. These results have been analyzed in relation to the viscoelastic properties of the polymer systems. Analysis of wet skid resistance in terms of the peak value of tan δ over a prescribed temperature range, designated as Tα, and abrasion loss—derived from the theory of rubber friction—was concluded to give a better general relationship for a wide range of polymers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tire cavity resonance are clarified by a mathematical approach to the excitation and by road tests, and it is shown that the major peak is at the first mode of cavity resonance in the circumferential direction and is not affected by the crosssectional shape of the tire.
Abstract: One of the major factors in road‐induced noise in a vehicle is the vibration characteristics of its tires The effects of tire cavity resonance are clarified in this paper by a mathematical approach to the excitation and by road tests Peaks of road noise due to cavity resonance in automobile tires exist at frequencies between 230 and 300 Hz The major peak is at the first mode of cavity resonance in the circumferential direction and is not affected by the cross‐sectional shape of the tire The noise is affected by only the first mode of cavity resonance Therefore, by using countermeasures to this resonance, the road noise can be reduced

TL;DR: In this article, an air bag for a vehicle has a peripheral part of an occupant-associated panel and a component of an inflator-associated component stitched together, where the thread-contour substantially parallel portions are easily bent by gas flow.
Abstract: An air bag for a vehicle has a peripheral part of an occupant-associated panel and a peripheral part of an inflator-associated panel stitched together. At portions of the peripheral part of each panel where constituent threads of a fabric of that panel and a contour line of the air bag are substantially parallel, the peripheral part of the other panel stitched thereto is curtailed to form a curtailed portion where threads and the contour are not parallel. As result, the thread-contour substantially parallel portions are easily bent by gas flow on inflation of the air bag and an amount of thread fraying occurring on inflation of the bag is reduced by the bending.
