Effect of Silica Mechanical on Tyre Material

Akash Bhingare, Dr. P. P. Ritapure

Abstract :

The increasing incidence of accidents involving vehicles equipped with advanced features due to tire bursts on seemingly good roads is a cause for concern. High-speed driving on cemented roads generates substantial heat through tire friction. When coupled with inadequate air pressure, this heat buildup can escalate, heightening the risk of tire bursts. Addressing this issue, a pioneering project aims to engineer a novel tire material by varying silica content to enhance overall performance. Through compression molding, materials with silica weight percentages ranging from 0% to 30% were fabricated and their mechanical properties like tensile strength, tear strength, rebound resilience, and hardness were investigated. Results underscore the significant impact of silica inclusion on properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, rebound resilience, and hardness. Remarkably, the material containing 10 wt. % silica exhibited the highest tensile strength, tear strength, and resilience percentage, while the 30 wt. % silica variant displayed the highest hardness. From the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the optimal addition of silica into tire material appears to be at a concentration of 10%.
