Research abstract
Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) will develop and demonstrate a novel Run-on-Flat (RoF) tire design that can be integrated with the Army"s Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS). The most common designs of RoF tires exhibit a very thick sidewall as compared to conventional tires or utilize an inner tire to support weight of the vehicle if the tire is deflated. These designs drastically increase the system weight and adversely effect ride performance. CRG will generate alternative RoF tire designs aimed at eliminating these adverse affects traditionally associated with RoF tires while focusing on concepts that reduce overall system weight, and can be easily integrated with current CTIS systems. CRG will leverage over $1 million in passive-adaptive structure development as well as previous RoF tire design experience, to develop conceptual designs, build feasibility prototypes and perform validation testing.
