World’s highest energy synchrotron radiation facility and ‘Earth Simulator’ supercomputer used to create Falken’s new energy-efficient tyre
New 4D NANO Design process draws on technology from outside the tyre industry to create all new Sincera SN832 ECORUN low rolling resistance energy-efficient tyreTyre engineers in Japan have for the first time, employed a super computer normally used for climate simulation, together with the SPring-8 Materials Research Centre and its synchrotron radiation facility, to create a new energy-efficient tyre. These powerful simulation tools, offering the ability to analyse at sub nano level, the effects of compound and construction, form part of Falken’s new 4D NANO Design process. 4D NANO Design
