  2. Blowout (tire) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(tire)

    Automobile tire damaged after an impact. A blowout (also known as a burst) is a rapid, explosive loss of inflation pressure of a pneumatic tire.. The primary cause for a blowout is encountering an object that cuts or tears the structural components of the tire to the point where the structure is incapable of containing the compressed air, with the escaping air adding to further tear through ...

  3. Cold inflation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_inflation_pressure

    Cold inflation pressure is the inflation pressure of tires as measured before a car is driven and the tires warmed up. Recommended cold inflation pressure is displayed in the owner's manual and on the Tire Information Placard attached to the vehicle door edge , pillar , glovebox door or fuel filler flap .

  4. Fusible plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_plug

    The very large thermal loads imposed by abnormal landing and braking conditions (such as a high-speed rejected takeoff, where an aircraft heavy with fuel must brake hard from a very high speed to a stop in a relatively short distance) can cause the already high pressure in the tyres to rise to the point that the tyre might burst, so fusible ...

  5. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    It is extremely important for owners to have an understanding of what is safe and what is not when it comes to their tires. The three major areas to keep an eye on is the tread, sidewall, and air pressure of the tire. Having the correct air pressure in your vehicle's tires lets your vehicle perform in the most efficient way possible.

  6. Rupture disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_disc

    A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.

  7. Central tire inflation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Tire_Inflation_System

    CTIS was first used in production on the American DUKW amphibious truck, which was introduced in 1942.. The Czech Tatra T813's central inflation and deflation system was designed to maintain pressure even after multiple bullet punctures.

  8. Cold start (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_start_(automotive)

    A cold start is an attempt to start a vehicle's engine when ambient temperatures are much lower than its normal operating temperature. [1] A cold start can be difficult for an engine due to higher viscosity of oil and fuel in cold temperatures.

  9. Roadway noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadway_noise

    Roadway noise is the collective sound energy emanating from motor vehicles. It consists chiefly of road surface, tire, engine/transmission, aerodynamic, and braking elements. Noise of rolling tires driving on pavement is found to be the biggest contributor of highway noise and increases with higher vehicle speeds. [1] [2] [3]
