Abstract
A method is provided for reinforcement of a multiple layer shear band as may be used in a non-pneumatic tire More particularly, an iterative method of improving the performance characteristics (such as e g, increasing the bending stiffness) of a shear band without increasing its thickness or of reducing the thickness of a shear band while maintaining its performance characteristics is presented Shear bands constructed according to this method are also provided.
