Abstract
ABSTRACT Cooler running tires with a reduced rolling resistance is a consideration for both tire makers and automotive original equipment manufacturers. To investigate the mechanics of energy loss and temperature rise, a nonlinear viscoelastic model suitable for numerical analysis of rolling tires is developed and demonstrated. The rubber compounds are represented as nonlinear viscoelastic materials with temperature and frequency, strain, and strain history–dependent response. Several applications to different tire designs are provided to demonstrate the impact of this new material constitutive law in improving the quality of the numerical predictions over other methods. One application is a rolling tire model that was used to delineate the tire temperature distribution and the resultant rolling resistance for different three-dimensional tread patterns.
期刊介绍:
Tire Science and Technology is the world"s leading technical journal dedicated to tires. The Editor publishes original contributions that address the development and application of experimental, analytical, or computational science in which the tire figures prominently. Review papers may also be published. The journal aims to assure its readers authoritative, critically reviewed articles and the authors accessibility of their work in the permanent literature. The journal is published quarterly by the Tire Society, Inc., an Ohio not-for-profit corporation whose objective is to increase and disseminate knowledge of the science and technology of tires.
