TIRE PERFORMANCE AFTER EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2013, Vol 169, Issue 3
Abstract
This article presents the results of experimental investigations of an explosive decompression of an Armoured Personnel Carrier's tire. Despite a large number of empirical studies related to tire blow-outs aimed at improving the safety of personnel doing repairs and maintenance of trucks, the experimental data concerning tire explosions during driving are very limited. The main reasons are: the lack of objective test criteria and practical problems with the execution of tests.It should be mentioned that, in the case of civilian vehicles, vehicle stability tests are performed during an explosion of the steering axle's tire. Such tests are mandatory for long-distance coaches that are certified to drive with the speed of 100 kph. Unfortunately, during the obligatory stability tests of civilian vehicles the data are not recorded and no database with results is created. As a result, such tests do not lead to a better understanding of the phenomena occurring during a tire explosion.The problem of vehicle performance during and after a tire explosion is critical for military vehicles, especially vehicles operating in high IED risk areas, like Afghanistan.
