xComputational representation of real-world systems plays an important role in vehicle analysis. Aiming to improve mobility systems, this article presents the development a chassis dynamometer and model describing longitudinal dynamics considering tire-bench contact. The simulates vehicle-bench tests where system is powered by bench’s electric motor gearbox neutral position, tire interaction fo...

A nonlinear model consisting “yaw, roll, longitudinal, lateral and pitch” has been developed in which, tire and suspension characteristics have been considered. Tire model is based on the elliptic concept and tire Calspan data. According to this tire model, cornering force and aligning moment are computed as a function of slip and camber (inclination) angles, normal load, tire adhesion characte...

The drawbar pull, travel reduction (slip), and rolling resistance are the main criteria to describe the traction behaviour of off road vehicles. Besides the engine performance, the drawbar pull is influenced by the traction conditions such as soil and the tire parameters. These traction conditions have to be described by a limited number of parameters which can be easily determined. Empirical e...

Tire cavity noise refers to the vehicle noise due to the excitation of the acoustic mode of a tire air cavity. Although two lowest acoustic modes are found to be sufficient to characterize the cavity dynamics, the dynamical response of these two modes is complicated by two major factors. First, the tire cavity geometry is affected by the static load applied to the tire due to vehicle weight. Se...

Styrene Butadiene Rubbers (SBRs) are among the most useful synthetic rubbers which can be produced by two different methods of polymerization: emulsion and solution. These two polymerization methods lead to different final properties. In general, SBRs produced by the solution method (S-SBRs) have narrower Molecular Weight Distribution (MWD), higher content of cis-1,4 structure and lower glass t...

i’ire behaviour plays a very important role in vehicle dynamic studies. Because of the complexity of tire structure, some tire models use so many assumptions they cannot represent tire behaviour well, while others are so complicated they are di@icult to use in engineering applications. This study presents an analytical tire side slip modeI with flexible tire carcass which is very helpful for un...

Understanding the influence of consumer behavior on life cycle products can provide further insights into effective mitigation strategies. Here, we developed a stochastic model to quantify midpoint and endpoint impacts European passenger car tires. The included resource extraction, production, use, end-of-life stages tire with functional unit driving 50,000 km. combined variability in lifetime,...

Nacrtak The motion resistance ratio, gross traction ratio and net traction ratio of a wheel cable skidder were determined and mathematical models derived for three tire inflation pressure values with or without tire chains on forest road in mountainous conditions. The motion resistance ratio increases with the increase of tire inflation pressure. On the contrary, the gross traction ratio increa...
