The Challenge
Traditional physical testing methods were costly and time-consuming, limiting CEAT’s ability to quickly iterate and launch new products. They required a predictive solution to anticipate wear and failure under varied real-world conditions.
The Solution
CEAT implemented Endurica’s suite of fatigue analysis software to predict tire performance under a variety of real-world conditions, such as multi-channel loads and extreme road environments. With Endurica CL™, CEAT simulated the fatigue life of their tires, identifying potential failure modes early in the design process. This allowed their engineers to address durability concerns proactively, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming physical tests.
Using Endurica EIE™, CEAT evaluated material fatigue and performance across multiple load scenarios, helping them fine-tune tire compounds to withstand stress without compromising ride quality. Additionally, Endurica DT™ facilitated precise crack growth analysis, enabling CEAT to prevent premature failures and extend tire lifespan.
By integrating these tools into their product development process, CEAT optimized design iterations, reduced testing cycles, and accelerated the time to market for their products. The predictive capabilities of Endurica’s software empowered CEAT to develop high-performance tires tailored to meet the needs of customers in competitive markets across the globe.
Results:
- Reduced Physical Testing Costs: CEAT minimized the need for extensive physical tests by utilizing Endurica’s simulation tools.
- Faster Time to Market: Predictive fatigue analysis enabled quicker design iterations, helping CEAT accelerate product launches.
- Improved Tire Durability: Enhanced material selection and design optimizations resulted in longer-lasting tires, meeting demanding road conditions.
- Strengthened Market Competitiveness: With streamlined development and improved product quality, CEAT met customer expectations and expanded its market presence.
