摘要:
Pneumatic tires made of a flexible elastomer material are well established for vehicles on paved roads. However, in many instances paved roads are in the minority, a rarity, or non-existent. Further many applications of motorized vehicles occur permanently off paved or unpaved surfaces where terrain is not solid but loose. Elsewhere compacted snow, very low temperatures, rocky environments, and mud present issues to pneumatic tires as does increasing vehicle weight which requires the load to be distributed across multiple wheels. It would be beneficial to have a tire that allowed for an expansion of the design space for tires that addresses the issues discussed above in a wide range of lunar and planetary environments with high load bearing. Such a tire is presented employing flexible particulate filled designs for improved drawbar pull, lateral resistance, hill climb potential, rolling resistance, and terrain accommodation.
摘要:
A sensor for detecting erosion of a wear surface of a component, particularly a liner attached to the mill shell of a rotating grinding mill. The sensor comprises a conductive element embedded in the component, the conductive element comprising a first end positioned at a first distance from the wear surface, at least one conductive loop comprising a wear portion positioned at a second distance from the wear surface proximate to the first end and a circuit coupled to the at least one element for determining a continuity of the conductive loop.
