THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENCY OF WHEELS AND WAYS TO INCREASE IT

Mikhailau V.V., Candidate of Technical Sciences; Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the NAS of Belarus; Minsk, the Republic of Belarus

The article offers a method to estimate the wheel efficiency and identifies the ways to increase it. The propositions are based on the power and kinematics factors analysis. The substantiation is given to the following variants: the transmission control, the proposals to remove working mode zone to lowest values of wheel rolling resistance, to use an original wheel design to reduce wheel rolling resistance. The offered innovations concern the increase of general efficiency of mobile cars, the improvement of traction wheel properties and reduction of fuel consumption.
