TYRE MODELLING AND CONTACT PROBLEMS - ADVANCES AND TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTATIONAL MODELS FOR TYRES

Status and some recent developments of computational models for tires are sumarized. Discussion focuses on a number of aspects of tire modelling and analysis including: tire materials and their characterization; evolution of tire models; characteristics of effective finite element models for analyzing tires; analysis needs for tires; and impact of the advances made in finite element technology, computational algorithms, and new computing systems on tire modelling and analysis. An initial set of benchmark problems has been proposed in concept with the U.S. tire industry. Extensive sets of experimental data will be collected for these problems and used for evaluating and validating different tire models. Also, the new Aircraft Landing Dynamics Facility (ALDF) at NASA Langley Research Center is described. The paper was presented at the Symposium on Advances and Trends in Structures and Dynamics, Washington DC, 22-25 October, 1984. (Author/TRRL)
