  • WO2016017655 a tire for a civil engineering vehicle with a radial carcass reinforcement comprising a tread, two inextensible beads, two sidewalls connecting the beads to the tread and a crown reinforcement, arranged circumferentially between the carcass reinforcement and the tread rolling.
  • This top frame comprises four layers reinforced by reinforcing elements such as metal cables, the cables of a layer being embedded in an elastomeric matrix of the layer.
  • This top frame comprises several working layers comprising several reinforcing wire elements.
  • the diameter of the uncoated cable is equal to 3.72 mm for a breaking force of 17,572 N.
  • a cable according to the preamble of claims 1 and 4 is known from JP H06 173179 A .
  • the subject of the invention is a cable making it possible to reduce, or even eliminate, the number of breaks and the number of perforations.
  • the cable according to the invention makes it possible to reduce perforations and therefore to extend the life of the tire and also to reduce the number of ruptures.
  • the inventors at the origin of the invention discovered that the determining criterion for reducing cable breaks was not only the breaking force as is widely taught in the state of the art but the energy with surface rupture represented in the present application by an indicator equal to the product of the force at rupture, the elongation at rupture and the weakening coefficient of the cable divided by the diameter of the cable.
  • the weakening coefficient makes it possible to take into account the loss of cable performance in traction due to transverse weakening in the inter-wire contacts at the level of the external metal wires of the internal layer and the external layer.
  • This weakening coefficient depends on the number of external metal wires of the internal layer, the contact angle between the internal strand and the or each external strand, the diameters d3 and d3' respectively of the external metal wires of the internal layer and the external metal wires of the outer layer, the helix angle of an outer strand and the breaking force of an outer strand.

  • the internal strand of the cable is surrounded by a polymer composition then by the external layer.
  • the internal strand has cylindrical layers.
  • each external strand has cylindrical layers.
  • the internal strand and each external strand have cylindrical layers. It is recalled that such cylindrical layers are obtained when the different layers of a strand are wound at different pitches and/or when the directions of winding of these layers are distinct from one layer to another.
  • a strand with cylindrical layers is very highly penetrable unlike a strand with compact layers in which the pitches of all the layers are equal and the directions of winding of all the layers are identical which has a much lower penetrability.
  • the internal strand is two-layer.
  • the inner strand comprises a wire assembly consisting of two layers of wires, neither more nor less, that is, the wire assembly has two layers of wires, not one, not three, but only two.

  • the pitch of a wire represents the length of this wire, measured parallel to the axis of the strand in which it is located, at the end of which the wire having this pitch makes a complete turn around said axis of the strand.

  • the inventors at the origin of the invention hypothesize that the more inter-wire contacts we have and more particularly in the inter-strand zones which are the most demanding, that is to say the more contact we have between the external metal wires of the internal strand and the external metal wires of the external strands, the more we dilute the weakening effort on the number of contacts.
  • This contact force depends on the force that each strand can absorb, that is to say the force of the cable divided by the number of strands.
  • the inventors behind the invention hypothesize that it is necessary to have good geometric properties of the contact and more precisely of the contact angle between the external metal wires of the internal strand and the external metal wires of the external strands in order to optimize contacts inside the cable.
