Tire safety cage - design guide

Hi,
I have to design a tire safety cage, is there any design guide or minimum equivalent static force requirements ?

That's pretty much the only way. Books and nuggets from random strangers can only get you so far.

A similar approach is taken with ballistic armor. Sample pieces are tested against various ammo/speeds and a physically-based analytical model is used to do the actual design.

As several noted in the other thread, this is not likely calculable with any degree of predictability or accuracy. Proof testing is indicated for this type of venture.
As an engineer, it is perfectly valid for you to design the test, observe the test, then validate (I would be careful with the term "certify") the efficacy of the device through the testing program. Keep in mind that the testing program should include several repetitions and should include both the structural impact testing for rim impact and debris containment testing for tire rupture.

Presumably these things are certified as safe for a certain maximum tire size and pressure, time to blow up (both meanings) a few tires I reckon.

nicely stated and accurate, Greg! Does ACME make these things?

29 CFR 1910.177(d)(3)(i) provides a load case, sort of.

Note that 1910.177 does not apply to LT and smaller tires, though conformance is claimed universally.
