Abstract:
      A finite element model for rubber matrix composite structures is developed in this paper. The model included the geometric nonlinearity, material nonlinearity and anisotropy of the cord\|rubber composites, and the nonlinear boundary conditions resulting from both tire\|rim contact and tire\|foundation contact, respectively. Moreover, a detail analysis for deformation contour of a truck strengthen by means of total\|wire tire is given.
