Temperature Gradients in Tire Rubber Can Reduce/Increase Tensile Stresses and Hence Wear and Fatigue

It has been known for some time that grading of the elastic modulus (namely, softer in the surface) leads to a significant reduction in tensile stresses due to contact loadings; this has been studied mostly to suppress the cracking of brittle materials. In particular, a recent study has demonstrated...
