Abstract

This paper discusses the measurement of tire driving performance for 2 types of tire model. Tire is almost composed of rubber, and this is related with the bearing capacity of tire due to the external force. In this study, an explicit time integration method has been used to simulate steady state rolling along a straight path and over a cleat. And analysis for tire dynamic response rolling over a cleat is importnat to study automobile NVH properties. Besides, the evaluation of contact shear force is perfomed for steady state rolling and braking state. The results show that there are noticeable differences between 205/60R15 and 225/60R15 tire model.
