Vibration characteristics of a tire play an important role to judge a ride conformability and sound quality for a passenger car. In this study, the experimental investigation for the sound radiation of a radial tire has been examined. Based on the sound intensity techniques, the sound pressure field and the sound radiation are measured. It turns out that air pressure in tire, tread patterns, and aspect ratio of the tire govern the sound radiation characteristics. Then a numerical analysis for the tire element is conducted. During analysis, the tire element is modelled as an elastic ring. The comparison shows that the numerical output correlates to the experimental data.

In this work, performance analysis to improve ride comfort of an ER (electrorheological) fluid damper for a mid-sized passenger vehicle in terms of tire pressure is presented. An ER damper by considering specification for a mid-sized commercial passenger vehicle is proposed and mechanically designed. After manufacturing and assembling the proposed ER damper with design parameters, their performance such as field-dependent damping forces are experimentally measured. A quarter-vehicle ER ECS (Electronic Control Suspension) system consisting of the ER damper, sprung mass, spring, sky-hook controller and tire is constructed to analysis the ride comfort performances. Vertical tire stiffness with different tire pressure is experimentally measured and investigated. In addition, ride comfort analysis such as vertical acceleration root mean square (RMS) of sprung mass is investigated under bump road using quarter-vehicle test equipment.

The styling of passenger car wheels and their effect on vehicle appearance has increased in importance in recent years. The wheel designer has been given the task of insuring that a wheel design meets its engineering objectives without affecting the styling theme. The wheel and tire system is considered as a vehicle component whose dynamic modal information of the tire/wheel system are employed in the modal synthesis model of the vehicle. The Vibration characteristics of a passenger car wheel play an important role to judge a ride comfortability and quality for a passenger car. In this paper, the vibration characteristics of a AI-alloy and steel wheel for passenger car are studied. Natural frequency, damping and mode shape are determined experimentally by frequency response function method. Results show that wheel material property, size and design are parameter for shift of natural frequency and damping.

The natural frequency measurement of passenger car tire under the load and rotation are studied. In order to obtain theoretical natural frequency and mode shape, the plane vibration of a tire is modeled to that of circular beam. By using the Tickling method based on Hamilton's principle, theoretical results are determined by considering tension force due to tire inflation pressure, rotational velocity and tangential, radial stiffness. Modal parameters varying the inflation pressure, load, rotational velocity are determined experimentally by using frequency response function method. The results show that experimental conditions are parameter for shifting of natural frequency.

The measurement of radial directional natural frequency ina passenger car tire rotating under the load is studied. In order to obtain theoretical matural frequency and mode shape, the ploane vibration of a tire is modeled to that of circular beam. By esing the Tieking method based on Hamiltons's principle, theoretical results are determined by considering tension horce due to tire inflation pressure, retational velocity and tangential, radial stiffness. Radial directional modal parameters varying with the inflation pressure, load, rotational velocity are experimentally determined by using frequency response function method. The results show that experimental conditions canbe considered as the parameters which shift the natural frequency.

Recently, the tire mold of a passenger car is made almost via aluminum casting, and it is necessary to prepare a master model of the tire for the casting. Because of the geometrical feature of tire, as well known, the master model must be machined by a 5-axis NC machine. The paper proposes a procedure to model and machine the master model. The approach includes (a) transformation of 2D drawing of tire into 3D geometry, (b) modeling surfaces of tire, and (c) inverse kinematics of a 5-axis NC machine. An implementation of the proposed procedure is also presented.

This study is concerned with the relation between steelbelt width and belt edge separation of a tire. Belt edge separation causes tire burst and threatens passenger's safety. For the reason, it is important to predict durability caused by belt edge separation in the early stage of the tire structure design. Usually, passenger car tires have two layers of steelbelts having opposite steel cord's angles, which makes a shear behaviour between each belt layer. Shear behaviour is one of reason to cause belt edge separation. In this study, to predict belt edge separation, we suggested the prediction method of belt edge separation and evaluated the effect of steelbelt width on the belt edge separation using FEM. We also studied on main parameters to affect shear behaviour at the belt edge area.

We have performed two kinds of experimental modal analyses fur a radial tire for passenger car under free-suspension. One is the modal analysis to obtain three-dimensional modes of tire using accelerometers and the other is the one to identify cavity resonance frequency using a pressure sensor. From the first analysis, we have obtained the three-dimensional natural modes, which makes it possible to grasp the features of the modes and to classify the vibrational modes into symmetric, non-symmetric, and antisymmetric modes in a simple way by using the experimental results. From the first and the second experimental analyses we have identified the cavity resonance frequency and its three-dimensional mode shape.

The shimmy phenomenon, or the radial vibration of steering wheel, happens frequently at a high speed, complicated with suspension system, steering system, vehicle body, engine, transmission and tire. In this study, the suspension system and steering system are modeled by the reference of vehicle body design coordinates(T.L.H), the coordinate system usually used by passenger car maker. In addition, the theoretical results from numerical method have been investigated and compared with the experimental ones by the correlating analysis between the tire and sub-system. The steering and suspension system modeled for the numerical analysis are both independent type. This study developed an analysis program which could forecast the shimmy level in advance by the variation of properties in each system and the change in design of new model.
