SURFACE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT OF A AUTOMOBILE TIRE

Toshio Ochiai, Akihiro Masuda

Abstract

Surface temperature of a automobile tire rises by heat generated with the repetition of deformation and deflection of the tire, and with the heat generated by friction at the tire contact surface ground. Non-contact measurement of tire surface temperature distribution with infrared rays is beneficial to such fundamental study of tire characteristics as endurance, rolling resistance and wear.Furthermore, the data can also be used for improvement research in tire design factor such as tire profile.Relations among tire surface temperature distribution and tire characteristics are explained with some examples.
