以10.00R20轮胎为原型,针对特定的断面轮廓形状和帘线结构形式建立了轮胎结构计算的有限元模型,着重研究了额定充气压力状态以及受静负荷作用时各部分帘线受力的基本特征。结果表明:(1)充气状态下胎冠部和胎圈部的帘线结构参数之间的相互影响很小,因而在分析设计中可以相对独立地考虑;(2)静负荷作用下帘线受力在接地面附近的分布情况较复杂,尤其是负荷较大时可能出现胎冠中部帘线张力不足甚至受压以及0°带束层边缘受拉力过大的情况,这些对轮胎使用性能不利的受力状况可以通过帘线结构的合理设计来克服。     

轮胎钢丝帘线拉伸力学性能的实验研究

对两种结构类型的钢丝帘线在单向拉伸和循环加载下的力学性能进行了实验研究。结果表明：帘线的结构形式对拉伸力学性能（包括摩擦能量损耗）有显著影响。不考虑载荷很小的情况时，普通结构帘线可近似为弹脆性材料，高伸长结构帘线却可以产生较大的塑性变形；循环载荷下，普通结构帘线几乎没有摩擦能量损耗，而高伸长结构帘线不仅有明显的摩擦能量损耗，而且随着循环应力幅值的增加，摩擦能量损耗呈加速增加的趋势；在循环应力幅值较大时高伸长结构帘线还出现了类似于高温下循环硬化金属材料的循环蠕变现象。文章还讨论了高伸长结构帘线由于塑性变形而引起循环蠕变现象的机理。

使用组合模型技术构建了计及复杂胎面花纹且具有不同带束层帘线角的一系列轮胎有限元模型,所有模型沿轮胎周向的网格均是非均匀划分的,在接地区划分得较精细以得到更精确的分析结果;使用多种试验结果与计算结果对比的方法对模型和算法进行了较充分的考评;在此基础上研究了带束层帘线角对静负荷状态下轮胎结构力学性能的影响.研究结果表明,轮胎径向刚度随帘线角的增加而减小,并在帘线角超过25.4°后急剧减小;胎肩部橡胶危险区域的应力应变水平随帘线角的增加先增加后减小,并均在19.4°附近达到最大值.此外,带束层帘线沿横向变角度铺设的轮胎具有较好的力学性能,在保证较高径向刚度的同时,改善了带束层帘线和胎肩部橡胶的受力状况.     

扁平化对子午线轮胎力学性能影响的有限元分析

以185/60R14半钢子午线轮胎为参考轮胎,通过改变断面高和改变断面宽两种方式构建了不同扁平率的一系列轮胎模型,采用ABAQUS/Standard软件对不同高宽比的轮胎进行了系统的研究.结果表明,通过减小断面高和增大断面宽两种方式实现轮胎的扁平化,将会产生不同的效果:前者会导致轮胎胎圈部三角胶内的应变能密度明显增大:后者则会使带束层帘线拉力的最大值明显降低,带束层帘线中部的应力状态由受压变为受拉,轮胎胎冠部橡胶结构危险区域的Mises应力和应变能密度均明显减小,对胎侧部和胎圈部的力学行为影响则很小.由此,可以利用增大胎冠部宽度而保持轮胎其他部位结构不变的简单方法实现子午线轮胎的扁平化.

Agricultural tire deformation in the 2D case by finite element methods

The mechanical characteristics of the rubber tire and the interaction between a tire and a rigid surface were investigated by a two-dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) model. The FE model consists of a rigid rim and a rigid contact surface which interact with the elastic tire. Four distinct sets of elastic parameters are used to represent beads, sidewall, tread and lugs. Several sets of tire loads and inflation pressures were applied to the FE model as boundary conditions, together with various displacements and friction conditions. The deformation of the tire profile, the tire displacements in the vertical and lateral directions, the normal contact pressures, the frictional forces and the stress distribution of the tire components were investigated by the 2D FE model under the above boundary conditions. The calculated tire deflections were compared with the measured data. The results show a good fit between calculated and measured data, especially at high load and inflation pressure. The comparison shows that the FE analysis is suitable to predict aspects of the tire performance like its deflection and interactions with the contact surface. Compared with the experimental methods, the FE methods show many advantages in the prediction of tire deformation, contact pressure and stress distribution.

A tire–ice model (TIM) for traction estimation

Increased traffic safety levels are of highest importance, especially when driving on icy roads. Experimental investigations for a detailed understanding of pneumatic tire performance on ice are expensive and time consuming. The changing ambient and ice conditions make it challenging to maintain repeatable test conditions during a test program. This paper presents a tire–ice contact model (TIM) to simulate the friction levels between the tire and the ice surface. The main goal of this model is to predict the tire–ice friction based on the temperature rise in the contact patch. The temperature rise prediction in the contact patch is based on the pressure distribution in the contact patch and on the thermal properties of the tread compound and of the ice surface. The contact patch is next classified into wet and dry regions based on the ice surface temperature and temperature rise simulations. The principle of thermal balance is then applied to compute the friction level in the contact patch. The tire–ice contact model is validated by comparing friction levels from simulations and experimental findings. Friction levels at different conditions of load, inflation pressure, and ice temperatures have been simulated using the tire–ice contact model and compared to experimental findings.     

Hybrid soft soil tire model (HSSTM). Part III: Model parameterization and validation

Part I describes the tire structure model; part II the contact detection and contact interface models for rigid and deformable terrains; part III the model parameterization and validation. Model parameters are estimated using non-linear least-square optimization to minimize the error between the Hybrid Soft Soil Tire Model (HSSTM) predictions and experimental data. The parameterization routines’ initial conditions are estimated from modal analysis in radial and circumferential directions. The preliminary parameterized model is incorporated in the optimization routine to find tire sidewall and belt parameters in the radial direction using quasi-static cleat loading test data. The vertical force at the spindle and tire contact patch are used to study the model accuracy in the radial direction. FlatTrac tire longitudinal and lateral force test data are employed to estimate the parameters in these directions. The tire shear force and moment at the spindle are validated against experimental data for lateral dynamics performance.

基于台架应变测试试验方法,研究轿车车轮在疲劳试验中的应力状态。结果表明:车轮的径向疲劳试验时,轮胎会对车轮的载荷产生较大的影响,轮胎与转鼓的挤压变形以及正反转动都会对车轮的应力状态产生影响;车轮径向疲劳试验时,最大应变出现在轮辋与轮胎接触位置沿车轮圆周方向,而在靠近轮心位置的应变较小;车轮弯曲疲劳试验时,最大应变出现在轮辐靠近轮心的位置,最大应变出现在轮辐的长度方向;不同的载荷对车轮应变的变化规律并没有影响,但是会对最大和最小峰值产生影响。     

2D FE–DEM analysis of contact stress and tractive performance of a tire driven on dry sand

Normal and tangential stresses acting over a contact interface of a tire driven on dry sand were investigated to expand the applicability of our model incorporating 2D FE–DEM with proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control. A simple averaging method for contact reaction was introduced: computational segments were defined over the lower half part of the tire circumference that translates without rotation with the tire; then the contact stresses were calculated segment by segment. For the analysis, it was assumed that the tire was in rigid contact mode and that it would travel on the model sand terrain in stationary condition. The integration of normal and tangential contact stresses with respect to the angle of rotation was then applied to calculate the vertical contact load, gross tractive effort, net traction, and running resistance of the tire by parametric (or semi-empirical) analysis. The result of tractive performance obtained through the parametric analysis was found to be similar to the result of tractive performance obtained directly using FE–DEM analysis. A forward shift of the consistent angle of rotation for maximum normal contact stress and that for maximum tangential contact stress with the increase of slip from 22% was also observed in the FE–DEM result.     

Tire-ice model development for the simulation of rubber compounds effect on tire performance

The material properties of the rubber compounds, which are highly dependent on temperature, have a vital role in the tire behavior. A comprehensive study on the effect of the rubber properties on tire performance, for different temperatures, as well as different road conditions is required to adequately predict the performance of tires on ice.In this study, a theoretical model has been developed for the tire-ice interaction. The temperature changes obtained from the model are used to calculate the height of the water film created by the heat generated due to the friction force. Next, the viscous friction coefficient at the contact patch is obtained. By using the thermal balance equation at the contact patch, the dry friction is obtained. Knowing the friction coefficients for the dry and wet regions, the equivalent friction coefficient is calculated. The model has been validated using experimental results for three similar tires with different rubber compounds properties. The model developed can be used to predict the temperature changes at the contact patch, the tire friction force, the areas of wet and dry regions, the height of the water film for different ice temperatures, different normal load, etc.
