IN-PLANE DYNAMICS OF TIRES ON THE ROAD BASED ON AN EXPERIMENTALLY VERIFIED ROLLING RING MODEL

The dynamic behavior of tires rolling on the road is predicted based on a ring model that is experimentally verified to well represent a real tire. The road contact is kinematically represented by two displacement constraints, one in radial and one in tangential direction. The displacement constraints are enforced via the receptance theory. The receptance matrix developed for the rolling tire is found to be Hermitian. Numerical results show that the natural (or eigen-) frequencies of the rolling tire with road contact are, as expected, higher than those of the tire with no contact. The influence of the rotating speed to the eigen-frequencies of the tire is also shown. Analytic expressions for the mode shapes of a rolling tire with ground contact are derived. (A)
