By conducting the MBS simulations, the dynamic and steady-state responses of the sprung mass can be shortly predicted when the vehicle runs on an irregular road surface such as step curb or pothole. A multi-body vehicle model consists of a sprung mass, simplified tire models, and suspension system to connect them. For the simplified tire model, a rigid ring tire model is mostly used due to its efficiency. The rigid ring tire model consists of a rigid ring representing the tread and the belt, elastic sidewalls, and rigid rim. Several in-plane and out-of-plane parameters need to be determined through tire tests to represent a real pneumatic tire. Physical tire tests are costly and difficult in operations.

  • Tire Model with Temperature Effects for Formula SAE Vehicle
    applied sciences Article Tire Model with Temperature Effects for Formula SAE Vehicle Diwakar Harsh 1 and Barys Shyrokau 2,* 1 Rimac Automobili d.o.o., 10431 Sveta Nedelja, Croatia; [email protected] 2 Department of Cognitive Robotics, Delft University of Technology, 2628CD Delft, The Netherlands * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 October 2019; Accepted: 4 December 2019; Published: 6 December 2019 Abstract: Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) (FSAE) is a student design competition organized by SAE International (previously known as the Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE). Commonly, the student team performs a lap simulation as a point mass, bicycle or planar model of vehicle dynamics allow for the design of a top-level concept of the FSAE vehicle. However, to design different FSAE components, a full vehicle simulation is required including a comprehensive tire model. In the proposed study, the different tires of a FSAE vehicle were tested at a track to parametrize the tire based on the empirical approach commonly known as the magic formula. A thermal tire model was proposed to describe the tread, carcass, and inflation gas temperatures. The magic formula was modified to incorporate the temperature effect on the force capability of a FSAE tire to achieve higher accuracy in the simulation environment. Considering the model validation, the several maneuvers, typical for FSAE competitions, were performed. A skidpad and full lap maneuvers were chosen to simulate steady-state and transient behavior of the FSAE vehicle. The full vehicle simulation results demonstrated a high correlation to the measurement data for steady-state maneuvers and limited accuracy in highly dynamic driving.

  • Tire - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Tire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire Tire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A tire (or tyre ) is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel's rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock. The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first versions of tires were simply bands of metal that fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tires were solid (not pneumatic). Today, the majority of tires are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising a doughnut-shaped body of cords and wires encased in rubber and generally filled with compressed air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tires are used on many types of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, earthmovers, and aircraft. Metal tires are still used on locomotives and railcars, and solid rubber (or Stacked and standing car tires other polymer) tires are still used in various non-automotive applications, such as some casters, carts, lawnmowers, and wheelbarrows.

Abshoct Nonuniformities in the tirelwheel assemblies of heavy trucks, such as mass imbalance or dimensional runout, add to the ride vibrations on the road at the rotational frequency of the wheel and harmonics thereof. The rela- tionships between nonuniformities in the individual components and the exci- tation forces produced by the overall assembly are largely unknown. An experimental research program was conducted in which nonuniformities in tire and wheel components and the force variations of the overall assembly were measured on a tire uniformity test machine. The testing covered radial and bias-ply truck tires of the tubeless- and tube-type, disc and cast-spoke wheels, single and dual configurations, and variations in load, pressure, and speed. For tires, the various measures of nonuniformities are related to force variations in the radial, lateral, and tractive force directions.

  • Systematic Review of Tyre Technology 1 Yasuhiro Ishikawa
    Systematic Review of Tyre Technology 1 Yasuhiro Ishikawa ■ Abstract The history of the tyre starts with the use of the wheel, using a log or its x-section. Tyres then came into common use on the wheels of carts or horse carts. The pneumatic tyre was originally invented by R.W. Thomson in the middle of 19th century. Then at the end of 19th century, a pneumatic tyre for automobiles was invented. The history of the Japanese rubber industry also starts around this time: the latter half of 19th century, out of which the tyre industry then developed. The history of the Japanese tyre industry is divided into the three following stages: Stage 1: Dawn of the Industry The Japanese tyre industry began in the Meiji era (1868-1912) with the initial development of the Japanese rubber industry. The foundation of Tsuchiya Rubber Factory in 1886 (Meiji 19) is generally taken to herald the start of the Japanese rubber industry, approximately fifty years after the invention of vulcanization by C. Goodyear in 1839. Stage 2: Age of Growth This period from the beginning of the Taisho era (1912-1926) to the end of World War II saw the introduction to Japan of rubber technology from foreign countries, when domestic industry as a whole was developing with the importation of various technologies. The founding of domestic tyre manufacture dates from this period. Domestically-developed tyre technology showed dramatic growth during the War and played an important role in military supplies. Stage 3: Maturity This stage covers the time from the end of the War II to the present.
