Numerical algorithms and computer programs have been developed to determine optimal cure steps in a tire curing process. A dynamic constrained optimization problem was formulated with the following ingredients: (1) an objective function that measures product quality in terms of final state of cure and temperature history at selected points in a tire; (2) constraints that consist of a process model and temperature limits imposed on cure media; (3) B-spine representation of a time-varying profile of cure media temperature. The optimization problem was solved using the complex algorithm along with a finite element model solver. Numerical simulations were carried out to demonstrate the procedure of determining optimal cure steps for a truck/bus radial tire.
