Effect of Friction Model and Tire Maneuvering on Tire-Pavement Contact Stress

الملخص EN

This paper aims to simulate the effects of different friction models on tire braking.

A truck radial tire (295/80R22.5) was modeled and the model was validated with tire deflection.

An exponential decay friction model that considers the effect of sliding velocity on friction coefficients was adopted for analyzing braking performance.

The result shows that the exponential decay friction model used for evaluating braking ability meets design requirements of antilock braking system (ABS).

The tire-pavement contact stress characteristics at various driving conditions (static, free rolling, braking, camber, and cornering) were analyzed.

It is found that the change of driving conditions has direct influence on tire-pavement contact stress distribution.

The results provide the guidance for tire braking performance evaluation.
