The car industry has been expanding tremendously since the beginning of the 20th century; the number of vehicles worldwide, which was 50 million in 1950, is currently over 800 million and is projected to increase to 1500 million vehicles by 2050. The quantitative growth of this car industry has led to the quantitative growth of the tire industry and has been demanded of continuous technological innovation for tire technology. The top-tier tire company has been conducting studies to improve the properties of tire compounds by using simulation methods that can predict physical properties from the molecular level, rather than traditional tire testing methods. In this talk, we are going to show some examples of results that predict the physical properties of compounds using molecular dynamics simulations. Using molecular dynamics simulation, we provide the cause of the phenomenon that was difficult to grasp the cause macroscopically, and predicted properties that are difficult to measure. |
