نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes a finite element model for steady state rolling tire analysis. The model, which is improved in comparison to earlier models created by the authors, enables a larger number of analyses to be conducted in less time and with greater accuracy. The descriptions of model structure and model building procedure are given, followed by the algorithm according to which the improvement of future tire performance may be achieved. It includes the analyses of inflation, vertical loading and steady state rolling. Example analysis of each of mentioned types and typical results are given in the last part of the paper.

Detailed vs. Simplified Tread Tire Model for Steady-State Rolling Analysis
This paper deals with the level of detail that is necessary for representation of tread pattern in finite element tire models. Different methods for creation of tire tread mesh are systematized by two different criteria: the most common approaches and the finite element analysis type. Some of the representative approaches found in literature are given in more detail and their advantages and dis...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis for Estimating the Effect of Various Working Conditions on the Temperature Gradients Created Inside a Rolling Tire
Periodic deformation of a tire during its rolling motion causes energy dissipating and heat generation due to hysteretic nature of the rubber. The increase in tire temperature may have disastrous effects on safe service life and safety of vehicles. In this study a numerical simulation based on finite element method is used for evaluating the effect of various working conditions on temperature f...

A numerical procedure has been applied for investigating the temperature distribution in a smooth tread bias tire of a light truck, operated under different speeds, pneumatic pressures, and loading conditions. Prior to simulation by the finite element analysis, two separate sets of testing, namely dynamic mechanical testing and material testing, have been conducted in relation to the evaluation...
متن کاملThermal Analysis of Tire
One of the great enemies of rubber compounds is heat. Heat will cause chemical and physical degradation of vulcanized rubber as well as a considerable loss in its strength. A major source of heat generation in a tire is due to internal friction resulting from the viscoelastic deformation of the tire as it rolls along the road. Another source of heat generation in a tire is due to its contact fr...
