THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE DYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF TYRES. PART 1: REVIEW OF THEORIES OF RUBBER FRICTION

Previous theoretical work on the dynamic properties of tyres is reviewed. Extensions of a theory relating tyre cornering properties to conditions of braking and traction are considered, along with factors relevant to a further extension to the dynamic properties of an actual pneumatic tyre. A theoretical derivation of the six components of force and moment generated in a tyre is given which involves integrating the vertical and friction forces acting on a rubber block and the resultant moments over the area of contact.
