摘要:
The invention relates to the crown of a tyre for a heavy goods vehicle for civil engineering. The aim of the invention is to desensitise said crown to stress. To this end, the tyre (1) comprises a tread (2) having a surface siping rate TL, expressed in m/m 2, which is equal to the ratio of the cumulated length L D of the cuts (21) to the area A of the radially outer surface (23) of the tread (2), and a protective reinforcement (4) comprising at least two protective layers (41, 42) consisting of elastic metal reinforcing elements and having a maximum tensile strength R max, expressed in daN/m, such that the surface siping rate TL of the tread (2) is at least equal to 3 m/m 2, and a coupling ratio C, equal to the ratio of the maximum tensile strength R max to the surface siping rate, is at least equal to 30000 daN.
摘要:
Tyre (1) for a heavy vehicle of civil engineering type comprising a crown part extended on either side by sidewalls (3), the sidewalls and the beads, this crown part comprising a tread (2) and a crown reinforcement, the latter being situated radially between the tread (2) and a carcass reinforcement (4), the crown reinforcement comprising a protective reinforcement (6), a working reinforcement (5) and an additional reinforcement (7), the protective reinforcement (6) comprising at least one protective layer (61, 62) comprising elastic metallic reinforcers which, with the circumferential direction, form an angle at least equal to 10°, the working reinforcement (5) comprising at least two working layers (51, 52) comprising metal reinforcers which are crossed from one working layer to the next and, with the circumferential direction, form an angle at most equal to 60°, the additional reinforcement (7), centred axially on the equatorial mid plane of the tyre, comprising at least one layer (71, 72) having an axial width at most equal to 0.9 times the shortest of the axial widths of the at least two working layers (51, 52) and comprising metal reinforcers which, with the circumferential direction, form an angle at most equal to 25°, the tread (2) being provided with a tread block pattern that comprises at least two circumferentially oriented grooves (10), this tyre being such that the mean axial distance between the two grooves (10) closest to the equatorial mid plane is greater than the maximum axial width of the additional reinforcement (7) measured between the ends of the layers of this additional reinforcement that are axially furthest from the equatorial mid plane.
