Author:De Beer, MorrisDate:Oct 2010The CSIR’s proprietary Stress-in-Motion (SIM) measurements provide rational descriptions of 1D, 2D and 3D tyre/road pavement stresses for: Road pavement design testing and evaluation, as well as tyre design, testing and evaluation.Read more
Author:De Beer, Morris; Sallie, Ismail MDate:Jun 2012In road design, accurate quantification of traffic loading remains a challenge. Research in South Africa with the Stress-In-Motion (SIM) system has concentrated on interaction forces between slow-moving tyres and the textured SIM device. A ...Read more
Author:De Beer, Morris; Maina, JW; Van Rensburg, Yvette; Greben, JMDate:Oct 2012Optimization of road pavement design, especially towards the surface of the pavement, requires a more rational approach to modeling of truck tire-road contact stresses. Various road surfacing failures are given in this paper as examples, and ...Read more
