Abstract
This presentation considers a method of measuring deformation of selected agricultural tires with the use of a 3D scanner. The tires selected for the tests are commonly used in agricultural trailers, spreaders, or balers, i.e., machinery causing soil compaction. In this way, applying various vertical loads and air pressure, it was possible to characterize tires in terms of their horizontal and vertical deformation and of their contact with the surface. Various vertical loads and air pressure in the tire were used as experimental factors. It was assumed that the first stage static tests would be carried out under laboratory conditions on a non-deformable surface – during this test, the tire footprint was created with no torque applied. The test bench allowed testing tires of different sizes and designs. The design of the test bench made it possible to carry out tests on two types of surfaces: first was non-deformable surfaces – intended to predetermine the characteristics of the tire, mainly related to its deformability; such tests can be used as a model for further research. The second type of the grounds were deformable surfaces – intended to study the interaction of the tire with a particular surface. It will be possible to determine both the deformation of the tire and the surface. The surface material (e.g., soil) will be placed in the so-called soil bathtub. The present research sets out the principles of measuring and analyzing the results for the non-deformable surface. Because the 3D-scanning methods are becoming more popular the presented method is rational for further use. Moreover, it can be used to evaluate deformation both the tire and soil – it will be helpful at the choice of optimal conditions of agricultural tire use.
