ARDL Engineering Group as a division of ARDL, Inc., is an independent, applied engineering, research & development group that uses a milti-disciplinary approach to tire safety and problem solving.

Engineering Tests to Predict: • Tire Service Life • Tire Safety • Tire Performance • Tire Failure

Failure Prediction and Service Life Prediction: (Equipment) • Hopkinson Bar • MTS Dynamic Testing (Whole Tire & Micro Dumbell from Tire Section) • ARDL "Oxidative Aging" Jig • ABAQUS FEA Software • Torsional Crack Growth (Based on the work of Dr. Alan Gent) • Tire Strain Measurements for the Whole Tire

"ARDL Engineering Group has developed a proven tire failure prediction technique"

Tire Failure Prediction Based on Functional Characterization of Tire Components from Field and Laboratory Aged Tires

Functional Endurance Testing with Materials Testing • High Speed "Indoor" Wheel Testing • Tire Development "The Vital Link to Tire Technology" • Finite Element Analysis • Footprint Pressure Distribution Response • Impact, Force and Moment • Rolling Resistance - Using the New ARDL Technique • Tire Electrical Resistance - Static Build Up • Dynamic Stiffness Measurement (MTS)

"Offering Functional Data Interpretation" • We offer functional data interpretation that will allow tire designs to be optimized for performance and safety.
