  • Design of a Portable Tire Test Rig and Vehicle Roll- Over Stability Control
    Design of a Portable Tire Test Rig and Vehicle Roll- Over Stability Control Derek Martin Fox Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Mechanical Engineering Approved Saied Taheri, Chair John B. Ferris Disapproved Mehdi Ahmadian Presented on December 9, 2009 Danville, VA Keywords: Portable Tire Test Rig, Vehicle Rollover Mitigation Techniques © 2009 Design of a Portable Tire Test Rig and Vehicle Roll-Over Stability Control Derek Martin Fox Abstract Vehicle modeling and simulation have fast become the easiest and cheapest method for vehicle testing. No longer do multiple, intensive, physical tests need be performed to analyze the performance parameters that one wishes to validate. One component of the vehicle simulation that is crucial to the correctness of the result is the tire. Simulations that are run by a computer can be run many times faster than a real test could be performed, so the cost and complexity of the testing is reduced. A computer simulation is also less likely to have human errors introduced with the caveat that the data input into the model and simulation is accurate, or as accurate as one would like their results to be. Simulation can lead to real tests, or back up tests already performed. The repeatability of testing is a non-issue as well. Tire models are the groundwork for vehicle simulations and accurate results cannot be conceived without an accurate model. The reason is that all of the forces transmitted to and from the vehicle to the ground must occur at the tire contact patches.

  • Adaptive Rollover Control Algorithm Based on an Off-Road Tire Model
    Adaptive Rollover Control Algorithm Based on an Off-Road Tire Model Brad Michael Hopkins Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Mechanical Engineering Saied Taheri, Chair Mehdi Ahmadian Steve C. Southward November 30, 2009 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: off-road tire model, Pacejka Magic Formula, scaling factors, adaptive control, vehicle handling stability Adaptive Rollover Control Algorithm Based on an Off-Road Tire Model Brad Michael Hopkins Abstract Due to a recent number of undesired rollovers in the field for the studied vehicle, rollover mitigation strategies have been investigated and developed. This research begins with the study of the tire, as it is the single component on the vehicle responsible for generating all of the non- inertial forces to direct the motion of the vehicle. Tire force and moment behavior has been researched extensively and several accurate tire models exist. However, not much research has been performed on off-road tire models. This research develops an off-road tire model for the studied vehicle by first using data from rolling road testing to develop a Pacejka Magic Formula tire model and then extending it to off-road surfaces through the use of scaling factors. The scaling factors are multipliers in the Magic Formula that describe how different aspects of the force and moment curves scale when the tire is driven on different surfaces. Scaling factors for dirt and gravel driving surfaces were obtained by using an existing portable tire test rig to perform force and moment tests on a passenger tire driven on these surfaces.

  • Hans B. Pacejka (1934–2017): a Life in Tyre Mechanics
    VEHICLE SYSTEM DYNAMICS https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2020.1740748 OBITUARY Hans B. Pacejka (1934–2017): a life in tyre mechanics Hans Pacejka, famous for his work on tyre mechanics, died on 17 September 2017, peace- fully at home. He was 83 years old. The cause of death was an incurable liver disease, from which he had suffered already for some years (Figure 1). Figure 1. Hans B. Pacejka, 1934–2017. Hans Pacejka was born in the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, on 12 Septem- ber 1934, in an Austrian family. His parents, Eduard S. Pacejka and Edith Messmer, were originally from Vienna and emigrated to the Netherlands in 1932. His father, Eduard, was already familiar with the Netherlands through a World War I humanitarian children’s act. After that war, ill-fed Austrian children were sent to foster parents in the Netherlands for nourishment. After Eduard finished his secondary school in the Netherlands, he went back to Austria to study mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology. Directlyaftergraduation,hemarriedEdithMessmerandstartedlookingforajob.Inthe meantime, his foster parents from the Netherlands were working at the TMS Technicum in Rotterdam, a polytechnical school oriented towards an engineering education. They offered Eduard a job as a teacher at the Technicum, and in 1932, Eduard and Edith emi- grated to the Netherlands. In that same year, they were naturalised, and in 1933, their first child, Edith Marijke Pacejka, was born. The next year, 1934, Hans Bastiaan Pacejka was born. After having finished primary school, partly through home education because of World War II, Hans started his secondary school education in Rotterdam at the Erasmiaans Gym- nasium in 1946.

Supplementary Notes Information about Sustainable Worldwide Transportation is available at http://www.umich.edu/~umtriswt. 16. Abstract This report forecasts likely changes in passenger car and light truck fuel economy through 2025 as a result of projected tire evolution with respect to aspect ratio and design inflation pressure. Tire-material evolution over the last decade is expected to continue. Tire aspect ratios from 55 to 85 are examined, along with cold inflation pressures from 35 to 50 psi. The forecast fuel economy change is the primary factor considered in evaluating tire sustainability. The secondary factor considered is the change in raw material usage, which affects tire weight.
