Methodology for Assessing Aircraft Tire Wear

The paper deals with methods of assessing the wear of aircraft tires. It focuses on the production technology, materials and factors influencing the operation of tires, such as pressure, landing speed and weather conditions. It discusses the development of tires from bias to radial, taking into account new materials such as Kevlar and synthetic rubber. The paper describes methods of assessing the wear, including visual inspections, laboratory tests and numerical analyses. It includes case studies of tire failures and the results of a survey on students’ knowledge about their wear.
