Design and Analysis of Run Flat RIM

Our project is DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF RUN FLAT RIM. This project is to design and develop the mechanism for run flat Tyre for mechanical system design (MSD) subject. Run flat tyre is to keep the vehicle run to the nearest shop to repair the tyre. Usually when the tyres puncture, it will be permanently deformed during travel. The tyre will wear out and the tread of the tyre become thinner than usual. This uses up energy and therefore increases fuel consumption, road noise and eventually leads to puncture. Tyre with reduced rolling resistance, deformation is reduced by the use of special materials on the rim surfaces. Sometimes, the temperature and the weather affect the tyre tremendously such as hot summer and the road when it's raining. I have the ones that are self-supporting the weight of the car and helps the driver during sudden break down of the car, it can support perfectly the weight of the car in the event of a puncture. The special materials on the running surfaces are thicker than on regular tires, thus allowing the tyre to withstand the weight of the vehicle and provide continuous driving to the nearest workshop or our home.
