چکیده
Preface On commission of the Swedish Road Administration, VTI has made a study of how road surface properties (primarily macrotexture and unevenness) affect rolling resistance and fuel consumption of vehicles. Contact person at the Road Administration has been Per-Erik Westergren. Project leader at VTI has been Rune Karlsson. Ulf Hammarström has initiated the project and has had the role of general advisor and pusher-on. Harry Sörensen has been responsible for the measurement equipment and has performed most of the coast down measurements. Olle Eriksson has contributed with valuable pieces of advices for the statistical analyses. Thomas Lundberg has been responsible for road surface measurements.

An Efficient Numerical Scheme for Evaluating the Rolling Resistance of a Pneumatic Tire
The viscoelastic effect of rubber material on creation of rolling resistance is responsible for 10-33% dissipation of supplied power at the tire/road interaction surface. So, evaluating this kind of loss is very essential in any analysis concerned with energy saving. The transient dynamic analysis for including the rolling effects of the tire requires long CPU time and the obtained results are ...

Among various dissipating mechanisms, the viscoelastic effect of rubber material on creation of rolling resistance is responsible for 10-33% dissipation of supplied power at the tire/road interaction surface. So, evaluating this kind of loss is very essential in any analysis concerned with improving the fuel consumption of vehicles and resultantly energy savage. Hysteretic loss is a fraction of...
متن کاملThe Simulation of Truck Tire Rolling Noise
The road transportation sector places a severe burden on large parts of the population in the form of road traffic noise. A main contributor to this is the rolling noise generated by the tires of trucks and other heavy vehicles. Advanced simulation tools are not only needed for a better physical understanding of rolling noise generation, but also for the design of quieter tires and road surface...

Influence of formation of surface nano/ultrafine structure using deep rolling on plasma nitriding and tribological properties of the AISI 316L stainless steel was investigated. Initially, the deep rolling process was carried out on the bar-shaped specimens at 15 cycles with 0.2 mm/s longitudinal rate and 22.4 rpm bar rotation. Then, plasma nitriding treatment was applied on the as-received...
متن کاملThe Effect of Asphalt Concrete Micro & Macro Texture on Skid Resistance
Skid resistance and road condition are common indices of road safety; therefore providing adequate skidding resistance will reduce the incidence of road accidents. The surface macrotexture has a large effect on the characteristics of road surface skidding, which is the focus of this research. During the study, the mean texture depth of the road surface was measured, in order to determine the co...
