Additive manufacturing for tire treads design for Outer Space Challenging Terrains. Case: NASA HERC
This research explores the potential of non-pneumatic tires as a durable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional tires, particularly in extreme environments like those in NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC). By leveraging additive manufacturing (AM) and flexible materials like thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), the study focuses on optimizing wheel treads for enhanced terrain adaptability, traction, and durability. The use of 3D printing enables lightweight, sustainable designs with minimal material waste, showcasing innovative solutions for advanced mobility systems.
Non-Pneumatic Wheel design performance for Human Powered Vehicles. Case: NASA HERC
This study focuses on the design and fabrication of non-pneumatic tires (NPTs) for human-powered vehicles in challenging terrains, such as those encountered in NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC). By leveraging additive manufacturing (AM) and flexible materials like thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), the research addresses key challenges, including load capacity, traction, and durability. AM enables the creation of optimized geometries and internal structures tailored to specific terrain requirements. Experimental testing evaluates the mechanical properties and performance of NPTs, aiming to develop high-performing, sustainable tire solutions for extreme environments.
