FTire: a physically based application-oriented tyre model for use with detailed MBS and finite-element suspension models
Being a typical representative of detailed mechanical tyre models that are less than true finite-element (FE) models, the present author's flexible-ring tyre model FTire is presented here. FTire development started in 1998, using certain ideas and numerical concepts of the present author's 'coarse-mesh' FE model DNS-Tire and the spatial nonlinear 'rigid-ring' model BRIT. This first version of FTire has been essentially improved since then. It is one of the advanced tyre models of MSC.ADAMS and is also implemented into several 'in-house' simulation programs at different companies, and as a subsystem block in MATLAB/Simulink. During participation in the tyre model performance test benchmark, interfaces had been implemented for the most widely used MBS packages for automotive simulations. Recently, FTire has been completed by a new rigid-ring model (called RTire), and a redesign of DNS-Tire (called FETire). RTire, FTire and FETire together set up a full tyre model family. However, only FTire is discussed here. For the covering abstract see ITRD E127429.
