Abstract

Retreaded truck tire plays important role in reducing transport cost without compromisingquality of performance of tire, but It becomes necessary to study it from safety point of view. Ifwe can predict the degrading properties of this tire rubber, this will safeguard the life ofpassenger and material also. In this paper, we are defining the rubber properties of retreadedtire at belt edge area. The hyperelastic constants are found out by testing uniaxial, biaxial andcompressive tests and viscoelastic coefficients are found out by stress relaxation test. Rubberdensity is found out on specific gravity testing machine. Simulation is carried on Abaqussoftware and validated the results by testing rubber sample of same tire on DMA testingmachine.
