Abstract
The concept of the relaxation length is often used to describe a tire's transient response. This paper investigates how the transient response changes under different operating conditions. Through the measurement of tire forces and tire deformations during transient maneuvers performed on an indoor flat-belt tire test machine, experimental data were used to calculate various tire stiffnesses and the associated relaxation lengths using a novel method via optimization.
With this methodology, the effects of tire load, inflation pressure, speed, and temperature on these stiffnesses and the relaxation length have been identified. The mechanisms behind these effects are discussed with a particular focus on the influence of temperature.
期刊介绍:
Tire Science and Technology is the world"s leading technical journal dedicated to tires. The Editor publishes original contributions that address the development and application of experimental, analytical, or computational science in which the tire figures prominently. Review papers may also be published. The journal aims to assure its readers authoritative, critically reviewed articles and the authors accessibility of their work in the permanent literature. The journal is published quarterly by the Tire Society, Inc., an Ohio not-for-profit corporation whose objective is to increase and disseminate knowledge of the science and technology of tires.
