Who we are

Apollo Tyres is a tyre manufacturer with Indian roots. It’s an ambitious and growing company, with factories in India and Europe (Netherlands and Hungary) and sales offices all over the world. In our Global R&D Center in Enschede around 130 employees work on the development of new passenger car tyres and agricultural tyres for the brands Apollo and Vredestein. Furthermore, we have a subsidiary office in Frankfurt with around 25 employees.

Problem description

• Pipe (Groove) noise is the one of the major contributions in tyre pass by noise.
• Open and closed channels are formed at the tyre contact patch.
• Every groove with certain dimensions will be contributing to overall tyre noise level at a particular frequency (Natural frequency)

Objective

• To understand the resonance frequencies, resonance amplitude and wave propagation within closed and open pipes formed by tyre tread pattern designs.
• To understand how to influence pipe noise by changing tyre groove geometries. (Refer internal & competitor claims)

Assignment Proposal

• Understand basic of pipe resonance formed within tyre footprint.
• Define geometries to influence pipe resonance.
• Conduct analytical & simulation (COMSOL or equivalent tool) activities.
• Conduct impedance tube experiment on 3D printed tyre geometries.
