Modeling of Pneumatic Tires by a Finite Element Model for the Development a Tire Friction Remote Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The behavior a pneumatic tire is analyzed and simulated using a finite element model. We calculate the elastic deformations in the contact area of a pneumatic tire touching the street for different friction conditions between tire and street. The simulations are compared with the experimental results. The comparison demonstrates that the overall deformation as well as the frictional behavior in the tire/ground contact area can be successfully simulated by finite element models.

The dissipated energy from periodic deformation is regarded as the main reason for heat generation and temperature rise inside the tire domain. However, the mechanical behavior of rubber parts is highly temperature dependent. In most performed investigations, the influence of thermal effects on stress/ deformation fields of pneumatic tires is ignored and just temperature distribution is conside...
