In recent years, non-pneumatic tires have been gaining popularity, which can be seen in the increase research results and proposals from world-class tire manufacturers (mainly as technology demonstrators). The possibility of eliminating need to maintain compressed air is a major factor development their usage vehicles. Articles patents were reviewed relation load transfer mechanism, design components, recommendations for materials. Non-pneumatic top loaders are desirable type this wheel compared bottom loaders, because they loads over larger part wheel, increases capacity. Most consist rim, an elastic structure, shear beam/band with tread. rim used secure structure fitted vibration dampers form circumferential rubber rings. gradient comparison homogeneous (same thickness or dimensions elements), allows range axle displacements adjusted desired level without size also influences change location maximum stresses. beam/ band mimics properties pneumatic tires. made webbing geometry ensures uniform pressure contact patch. reinforced composite adequate bending strength low energy losses small band. Materials commonly industry reinforcement band, was illustrated by our own research.

Material selection is a crucial factor in the design of non-pneumatic tyres (NPT). Most NPTs are integrally manufactured using polyurethane materials for supports, inner ring, and outer ring. It evident that designing different components with varying material hardness will have distinct impacts on NPT performance. To study influence performance V-shaped (VS-NPT), we developed finite element models VS-NPTs TPU materials. validate models, three levels conducted tests. Based this model, concept proposed where use levels. elucidate how affects VS-NPT performance, Taguchi method was used analysis. The results reveal increased leads to higher triaxial forces stiffness designed VS-NPTs. Regardless variations structural parameters existing VS-NPTs, spoke has significant impact contact area. When thickness exceeds 7.3 mm, tread predominantly
