Structural analysis of a tire is done using a commercial software, ANSYS Workbench. The properties of rubber of the tire is represented using a Mooney-Rivlin model. The bead in the tire is made of structural steel. 3D CAD model of the tire is obtained from a commercial CAD-specialized software, CATIA. Using an imported 3D CAD geometric model, a mesh system with fifty thousand nodes is constructed using ANSYS. A time-variant point force is applied to the rim of the tire, and the deformation of the tire is computed. It is found that both bending and twisting of the tire are observed where the point force is applied. The deformation of the tire is asymmetric, which results in the help of ripping the tire using the helper. It is also found that the deformation undergoes linearly with the applied force. When the force is larger than 1500N, then the deformation becomes larger than the half of the thickness of the tire. In the future, a more realistic rubber model will be applied and validated with the measured data.

Over the past few years, intelligent tire is developed very actively for more accurate measurement of real-time tire forces generated during vehicle driving situation. Information on the force of intelligent tire could be used very usefully to chassis control systems of a vehicle. Intelligent tire is based on deformation of tire's inner surface from the waveform of a SAW, or Surface Acoustic Wave. The tire vertical force is estimated by using variance analysis of sensor signals. The estimated tire vertical force is compared with the tire vertical force generated during vehicle driving situation in real-time environment. The scope of this paper is a correlation study between the measured sensor signals and the tire vertical force generated during vehicle driving situation.

This paper reports a technique for measuring a three-dimensional soil deformation and a simplified method to determine the three-dimensional contact area of agricultural tires in a soil bin. A Pirelli 12.4R28 radial-ply tire was used on soft soil. Effects of dynamic load and inflation pressure were determined using the equipment for measuring soil deformation on the soil surface. Soil deformation measurements were made under three conditions of over-load (59kPa-14.2kN), rated-load (108kPa-11.8kN) and under-load (157kPa-9.3kN) in the combinations of the inflation pressures (kPa) and the tire load (kN). The results from three conditions were shown that the contact area of the over-load increased considerably bigger than those of the rated-load and the under-load. Therefore, to regulate soil deformation, the inflation pressure and the tire load should be set according to the soil conditions.

본 논문에서는 스트레인게이지 센서와 Zigbee 무선 통신 기술을 활용하여 차량 주행 시 타이어의 변형량을 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 무선 계측시스템을 개발하였다. 차량 타이어의 내부에 스트레인게이지 센서를 장착하고 DSP 모듈을 이용하여 차량이 주행 중 발생하는 타이어의 변형량을 취득하였다. 취득된 센서 값은 무선 통신으로 차량 내부로 전송된다. 차량내부에 장착된 무선 수신 모듈은 타이어의 변형량을 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있도록 구현하였다. 이와 같이 취득된 타이어의 변형량은 각 타이어에 가해지는 하중 또는 타이어의 속도 측정에 이용할 수 있다. 타이어에 가해지는 하중 또는 속도는 자율주행자동차의 안정성 있는 제어를 위해서는 반드시 필요한 파라메타들이다.

This study is analyzed by stress contour of automotive tire at contact on road surface. Maximum equivalent stress as 61200Pa is shown on the lower mid part in case of tire contacted on road surface. As the air pressure of tire increases, maximum total deformation as 5mm is shown on the side part of tire. It can be shown that the side part of tire is unstabilized. There is no load effect on tire at its upper and lower directions. When the moment applied on the side of tire is increased 1.4 times as its value, the value of maximum principal stress is increased 1.4 times. The stress at the tire is in proportion to the moment applied on the its side. The tire tends to incline toward its side by this moment.

Roughness of a road is an important parameter which not only indicates vehicle's vibration and noise, but it is also related to the contact force of the tire which is induced by tire's deformation and vibration. Since tire noise indeed comes from this deformation and vibration, the estimation of the force is the key factor fur the reduction of tire noise. Because of the difficulty of directly measuring the contact force, the indirect estimation is enforced from the vibration signature measured on the tire support. This study suggests the "inverse filtering" technique well known in modern digital signal processing, so as to reform the tire contact force from monitored vibration signals.

In this paper, we have revisited the estimation of the rotational stiffness of sidewall of radial tire and have suggested a new method for evaluation of the rotational stiffness. Since thicknesses, and volume fractions of the constituents of sidewall are varied depending on radial position, the equivalent shear modulus of the sidewall also depends on radial position. For the estimation of rotational stiffness of sidewall's rubber, we have divided its cross-section into sufficient numbers of small parts and have calculated the equivalent shear modulus of each part of sidewall. Using the shear moduli of divided parts, we have obtained the rotational stiffness by employing in-plane shear deformation theory. This method is expected to be a useful tool in tire design since it relates such basic variables to the global stillness of tire. Applying the calculation method to a radial tire of P205/60R15, we have compared its rotational stiffness with experimental one.

When the vehicle is traveling, the deformation caused by friction continued with the ground is made to occur because the tire is the composite material of a viscoelastic. Part of the deformation energy is converted into heat energy as Hysteresis and temperature inside the tire rises. The generated heat is shed to the outside through the convection and evangelism. Increase in the internal temperature of the tire is difficult to ensure the safety of vehicle by damage to the tire during driving. Recently, Even when the tire is damaged, it is designed to be possible to driving in case of run-flat tires but the fact is that the development of the technology for the synergistic effect of heat release inside the tire by the side reinforcement is necessary. In this study, by using the Finite Element Method (FEM), applying the cooling fins to the tire sidewall, it is intended to check the temperature distribution along the shape of the cooling fins and the temperature reduction effect.
