Abstract
A method for simulating the three-dimensional rubber-cord structure of radial pneumatic tires with the aid of bulk isotropic elements that are different for the cord threads and the rubber matrix is suggested and substantiated. This enables study of the stress concentrations and prediction of the zones of failure of tires in the design process.Keywords
