Abstract:

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 prone to considerable numerical oscillations. By adding the equivalent loads to static interaction of tire with the road, an efficient 3D FE analysis is presented for evaluating the dissipated energy of a rolling tire. The results closely match the related experimental and numerical investigations.

Numerical Computation of Rolling Resistance Based on the Result of Tire/Road Static Contact Analysis

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...

Evaluating the Effect of Dissipated Viscous Energy of a Rolling Tire on Stress, Strain and Deformation Fields Using an Efficient 2D FE Analysis

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...

Wheelchair tire rolling resistance and fatigue.

The hysteresis loss theory of rolling resistance is developed for solid rubber wheelchair tires. The analysis is used to correlate test data for a clay-filled natural rubber and a polyurethane tire material. A discussion of tire rolling work, hysteresis loss factor measurement, and rolling loss measurement is presented. An example calculation of rolling resistance for a polyurethane tire is giv...

Investigation and Evaluation of Rolling Resistance Prediction Models for Pneumatic Tires of Agricultural Vehicles

Wheel numeric and different versions of mobility numbers are important models for predicting the rolling resistance. In this study, data related to the rolling resistance of cross ply and radial ply tires were compared with the resultant values from several models. Also, the preciseness of models in rolling resistance prediction was evaluated. For this purpose F test and 1-1 line method (p≥ 0.0...
