Development of an Off-Road Capable Tire Model for Vehicle Dynamics Simulations DEVELOPMENT OF AN OFF-ROAD CAPABLE TIRE MODEL FOR VEHICLE DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS by Brendan Juin-Yih Chan Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Mechanical Engineering Dr. Corina Sandu Dr. Mehdi Ahmadian Dr. Saied Taheri Dr. Dennis Hong Dr. Marte Gutierrez Dr. Harry Dankowicz Mr. David Glemming 14th January 2008 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Terramechanics, tire model, vehicle dynamics, off-road © Copyright 2008 Brendan J. Chan DEVELOPMENT OF AN OFF-ROAD CAPABLE TIRE MODEL FOR VEHICLE DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS Brendan Juin-Yih Chan (ABSTRACT) The tire is one of the most complex subsystems of the vehicle. It is, however, the least understood of all the components of a car. Without a good tire model, the vehicle simulation handling response will not be realistic, especially for maneuvers that require a combination of braking/traction and cornering. Most of the simplified theoretical developments in tire modeling, however, have been limited to on-road tire models. With the availability of powerful computers, it can be noted that majority of the work done in the development of off-road tire models have mostly been focused on creating better Finite Element, Discrete Element, or Boundary Element models. The research conducted in this study deals with the development of a simplified tire brush-based tire model for on-road simulation, together with a simplified off-road wheel/tire model that has the capability to revert back to on-road trend of behavior on firmer soils. The on-road tire model is developed based on observations and insight of empirical data collected by NHSTA throughout the years, while the off-road tire model is developed based on observations of experimental data and photographic evidence collected by various terramechanics researchers within the last few decades. The tire model was developed to be used in vehicle dynamics simulations for engineering mobility analysis. Vehicle-terrain interaction is a complex phenomena governed by soil mechanical behavior and tire deformation. The theoretical analysis involved in the development of the wheel/ tire model relies on application of existing soil mechanics theories based on strip loads to determine the tangential and radial stresses on the soil-wheel interface. Using theoretical analysis and empirical data, the tire deformation geometry is determined to establish the tractive forces in off-road operation. ii To illustrate the capabilities of the models developed, a rigid wheel and a flexible tire on deformable terrain is implemented and output of the model was computed for different types of soils; a very loose and deformable sandy terrain and a very firm and cohesive Yolo loam terrain. The behavior of the wheel/tire model on the two types of soil is discussed. The outcome of this work shows results that correlate well with the insight from experimental data collected by various terramechanics researchers throughout the years, which is an indication that the model presented can be used as a subsystem in the modeling of vehicle-terrain interaction to acquire more insight into the coupling between the tire and the terrain. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to thank my advisor Dr. Corina Sandu, who, over the course of my time as a graduate student, has been a great source of inspiration. Throughout my time here, Dr. Sandu has served as both a mentor and friend, and I greatly appreciate her support. I wish to also thank the members of my Ph.D. committee for their guidance and support throughout the entire research effort, and for their counsel in my work during my time at Virginia Tech. My gratitude goes forth to Dr. Mehdi Ahmadian, Dr. Saied Taheri, Dr. Dennis Hong, Dr. Marte Gutierrez, Dr. Harry Dankowicz and Mr. David Glemming from Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.

In addition to the faculty, I would also like to thank the department and the various sources of funding that has graciously funded my studies. I would also like to thank Dr. Steve Southward and Dan Reader in PERL for allowing the use of the equipment in the quarter car rig in Danville. Their assistance during the time we were assembling the tire mechanics rig are greatly appreciated. My gratitude also goes to Scott Israel for his hospitality during my time in Danville. Special thanks also go to Dr. Kamel Salaani from NHTSA for on-road tire testing data used in this dissertation. I would like to thank all my colleagues at AVDL for their contributions and input to my work. Amongst the group of friends and colleagues that have helped me throughout the years, many of you have helped me in your own little ways. The list of colleagues that have helped me includes but is not limited to Dr. Jeong-Hoi Koo, Dr. Fernando Goncalves, Emmanuel Blanchard, Dr. Mohammad Elahinia, Lin Li, Brian Southern and Brent Ballew. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my family, and in particular to my mother, Mdm. Sim Kui Hua, for her tireless devotion and love can never be repayed. Finally, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my dearest Ing-Ling for putting up with everything. Her support and encouragement has been a constant source of inspiration to me, through the late nights and the long days. I am forever indebted to her. iv “Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.” - Sir Isaac Newton Newton’s First Law of Motion Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687) v CONTENTS (ABSTRACT).................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT................................................................................................ iv LIST OF TABLES............................................................................................................. x LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... xi 1.

  • Exxon™ Butyl Rubber Innertube Technology Manual
    Exxon™ butyl rubber Exxon™ butyl rubber innertube technology manual Country name(s) 2 - Exxon™ butyl rubber innertube technology manual Exxon™ butyl rubber innertube technology manual - 3 Abstract Many bias and radial tires have innertubes. Radial truck tube-type tires are particularly common, and in many instances, such as in severe service, off-road applications, are preferred over tubeless radial tire constructions. The technology requirements for tubes for such tires is, in many respects, equally demanding when compared to that for the tire and wheel in the assembly. This manual has been prepared to describe how butyl rubber is important in meeting the demanding performance requirements of tire innertubes. Representative innertube compound formulations and compound properties are discussed along with typical processing guidelines of the compound in the manufacture of innertubes. Chlorobutyl rubber based compound formulations are also used in innertubes. Such innertubes show good heat resistance, durability, allow greater flexibility in compounding, and process equally well as regular butyl rubber tube compounds. An extensive discussion of bicycle tire innertubes has been included. Service conditions can range from simple commuting and recreation to high speed competitive sporting applications. Like automobile and truck tire innertubes, tubes for bicycle tires can thus have demanding performance requirements. Guidelines on troubleshooting provide a checklist for the factory process engineer to enhance manufacturing efficiency, high

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.
