METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING A MODIFIED GEODESIC BELT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of making a modified geodesic belt for a pneumatic tire. The ideal geodesic belt path is modified to select the centerline belt angle and to avoid excessive build up of the belt at the belt edges. The method includes the step of calculating the minimum three dimensional distance from one belt edge to the other belt edge preferably using dynamic successive approximation.
