Abstract
In this investigation, a non-linear elastic ring tyre model is developed. The elastic deformation of the tyre belt is modelled using the finite element absolute nodal coordinate formulation that allows for describing large rotational motion and the non-linear inertia effects; the curved structure of the tyre belt; and moving boundary resulting from the tread and road interaction. Using a concept of elastic ring tyre models, the sidewall flexibility of a tyre is modelled using circumferential and radial springs and dampers defined between the belt and rim, while the tangential tyre force is modelled using friction elements defined at contact nodes defined within the curved belt elements. Numerical examples are presented in order to demonstrate the use of the flexible tyre model developed in this investigation. Good agreements are demonstrated in the tyre vibration characteristics obtained using the experiments and the proposed model. It is presented that the proposed tyre model can be used for assessing dynamic characteristics of tyres in high frequency ranges resulting from the interaction to uneven road surfaces. © IMechE 2009.
