Optimal Design of Tire Sidewall Contour using Neural Network

신경회로망을 활용한 타이어 측벽형상의 최적설계

In order to improve automobile maneuverability and tire durability, it is very important for one to determine a suitable sidewall contour producing the ideal tension and strain-energy distributions. In order to determine such a sidewall contour, one must apply multi-objective optimization technique. The optimization problem of tire carcass contour involves several objective functions. Hence, we execute the tire contour optimization for improving the maneuverability and the tire durability using satisficing trade-off method. And, the tire optimization also requires long cup time for the sensitivity analysis. In order to resolve this numerical difficulty, we apply neural network algorithm.
