Tire puncturing is one of the main causes of accidents and/or traffic interruptions, leading to unsafe and unsustainable mobility scenarios. Insert-supporting Run-Flat systems can be a strategic technology to improve tire performance, but further developments are needed to improve system reliability, modularity, and efficiency.

Abstract
Tire puncturing is one of the main causes of accidents and/or traffic interruptions, leading to unsafe and unsustainable mobility scenarios. Insert-supporting Run-Flat systems can be a strategic technology to improve tire performance, but further developments are needed to improve system reliability, modularity, and efficiency. A novel Run-Flat system was proposed in the present study to address specific features. The concept was developed by exploiting numerical simulation tools, enabling a comprehensive system assessment. In addition, a technological demonstrator was manufactured employing rapid prototyping techniques based on 3D printing processes.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
