In this paper, various tire blow-out force experiment data were collected and analyzed to obtain approximate values of related coefficients such as rolling resistance, self-aligning torque, cornering stiffness, and radial stiffness for the analysis of the motion of vehicles with tire blow-outs. These coefficients related to tire blow-outs were input into a vehicle accident analysis program to simulate and examine the effects of tire blow-outs. Various configurations and velocities of vehicle collisions without tire blow-outs were also used as reference to establish collision events of vehicle collisions with tire blow-outs. For the events, the simulation analysis was performed and collision characteristics were obtained. Consideration of tire blow-outs or damages suggested in this study will greatly contribute to more reliable vehicle accident reconstructions.

자동차에서 발생되는 소음은 여러 가지 발생원으로부터의 복합적인 것으로서 차량의 속도가 고속화하면서 타이어 소음의 기여도가 매우 커지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 타이어 소음은 근본적으로 노면과 타이어의 상호작용에 의하여 발생되는 데 타이어/노면의 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 마모상태, 차량속도, 하중, 공기압, carcass 구조, 타이어 온도등 여러 가지가 있으나 tread 모양과 노면의 상태에 가장 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 승용차용 155SR13 radial 타이어를 대상으로 하여 실내에 설치된 dynamometer를 이용하여 groove 의 개수, groove 길이, groove 폭, groove 깊이, groove 방향 등 트레드 패턴 인자가 발생소음에 미치는 기여도를 실험적으로 측정하고 트레드 패턴형상에 따른 소음도를 예측할 수 있는 실험식을 구했다. 또한 단일 groove 내에서 발생되는 소음의 시간신호를 측정하여 모델화하고 차량속도와 groove 사이의 간격에 따른 시간신호를 합성하고 이 신호로부터 FFT 알고리듬을 통해 소음 spectrum을 구하는 소음 예측 프로그램을 개발하였다. 비교적 단순한 tread 패턴에 대해 이를 적용한 결과 실험적으로 구한 spectrum과 상당히 유사함을 볼 수 있었다.

The objective of this study analyzes the influence of shimmy & shake phenomena due to tire design parameters which are RFV(radial force variation), DB(dynamic balance), RRO(radial run out) and air pressure. These parameters are inspection items for Q.C. after tires are manufactured. In order to analyze these parameters on this study, vehicle driving tests were achieved. The test modes are two type which are constant speed and coast-down driving. On this tests the dynamic characteristics of shimmy & shake are measured by the 3-axises accelerometers at the various positions that are knuckle(left & right), rack pinion, seat and steering wheel. In according to analyzed results, the longitudinal vibration of knuckle parts affects the lateral vibration of rack pinion and this vibration affects the lateral vibration of steering wheel that is the shimmy phenomena. Also the over and under DB by comparison with normal DB and the increment of RRO affect the occurrence of shimmy & shake phenomena.

In this paper, comparisons are presented on the predicted tensile strains which can affect the fatigue life of a thin asphalt concrete (AC) pavement near the surface of pavement from three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) using 3D measured tire contact stresses of a radial tire and a bias ply tire and a layered linear elastic program (BISAR). The objective was to analyze the stress distributions for a 11R22.5 radial tire and a $10{\times}20$ bias ply tire, and to compare the predicted tensile strains at the top and bottom of AC surface using different analysis methods. The results show that the stress distributions of two tires are similar but the 11R22.5 radial tire has much higher vertical contact stress than that of the $10{\times}20$ bias ply tire. The predicted tensile strains at the bottom of AC layer under the center of tire showed higher value by BM (BISAR with the measured contact area) method, which the measured tire contact area is used in a layered elastic program, while the tensile strain at the top of AC surface of 3.5cm offset distance from tire edge by 3D FE analysis showed the highest values among three analysis methods.

Civil aircraft tires require a certification according to the Technical Standard Order Authorization(TSOA) procedure. TSO-C62d contains minimum performance standards for aircraft tires. The TSOA covers design and manufacturing of the tire only. To install a TSO article on aircraft requires an installation approval. In this paper, TSOA procedure and the certification requirements for aircraft tires will be presented.

Due to the rapid increase of long-distance transportation, particular attentions have been paid to truck tires, especially to their dynamic characteristics. In this research, experimental modal analysis on two kinds of light-truck tires, i.e., radial tire and bias tire, are performed by using GRFP(global rational fraction polynomial) method to investigate differences of the dynamic behavior of the two tires. The test results have shown that the modal frequencies of bias tire are much higher than their corresponding values of radial tire with a similar mode shape, which is in accordance with the fact that the radial rigidity of bias tire is higher than that of radial tire. And most of the modal decay rates of bias tire are larger than those of radial tire within the scope of this experiment. In the frequency domain range of test, the bias tire has extra modes, which do not occur in the radial tire. This difference is based on the fact that the circumferential rigidity of the bias tire is quite low whereas that of radial tire is so high that the frequencies of the corresponding modes are out of the frequency range of test.

A theoretical models has been prepared which describes the noise generated by tire/road interaction for the tire structure-borne sound analysis. The model begin with a set of thin shell equations describing the motion of the belt of a radial ply tire, as drived by Bohm('mechanisms of the belted tire', Igeniur-Archiv, XXXV, 1966). Structural quantities required for these equations are derived from material properties of the tire. The rolling shape of a tire is computed from the steady-state limit of these equations. Vibrational response of the tire is treated by the full dependent shell equations. The force input at the tire/road interface is calculated on the basis of tread geometry and distribution of contact patch pressure. Radiation of noise is calculated by a simpson integral. Using the programs, the effect on noise of various tire design variations is computed and discussed. Trends which lead to quiet tire design are identified.

It is well known that the acoustic cavity inside the tire-wheel assembly contributes to vehicle interior noise. In this paper, we have performed acoustic and structural modal testings to investigate the influences of the acoustic cavity resonance on structural vibration characteristics for the tire in free-suspension and for the loaded tire. The testings have given us some findings, which are reported in this paper.

This paper probes into the influence of tire uniformity on tire's modal parameters with the method of experimental modal analysis. Two radial tires of the same kind with different uniformity level are taken to be tested at different exciting points and real modal parameters are abstracted. The differences of their modal parameters are presented. Then tire transfer functions are constructed with experimental modal parameters and ideal modal parameters respectively. It is found that the measured transfer functions of tire of good uniformity are closer to ideal transfer function than that of tire of bad uniformity. The study shows evident interrelation of experimental modal parameters and tire uniformity, and further study should be of great value.
