  • Method and installation for predicting the maximum running distance, in degraded mode, of a mounted assembly
    Patent number: 6820015
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and an installation for predicting the maximum running distance in degraded mode, without substantial deterioration in the running, of a mounted assembly including a rim, a safety support and a tire mounted on the rim. The method according to the invention includes running the mounted assembly at a reduced or zero inflation pressure or the support mounted on the rim, from a time t0, at a given load and with a constant speed V, on at least one running surface so that the center (C) of the rim is a point which is substantially invariant during the running, monitoring the variation in a variable R representing the radial loading of the support as a function of the running time t.
