The Finite Element Analysis of Steel Cord in Radial Tire’s Belt Ply

Abstract:

The belt ply plays an important role in the performance of radial tires, and makes the adhesion strength among rubber steel cords of the belt ply become the focus of recently research. This paper focuses on the study of the theoretical analysis of the force on the belt ply, obtaining the relationship between the size of the load at the single steel wire and the outside load and the steel wire’s deformation on a single steel wire. Taking advantage of the software ANSYS Workbench 13.0, we carried out the simulation analysis of the single steel wire, and intuitively showed you the deformation and stress of belt ply’s steel wire under the different forces, providing theoretical basis and reference value for further researches on the adhesion fatigue life of rubber steel wires.
