Finite element analysis for steady-state rolling of radial tire

A 3D non-linear FE model for the steady-state rolling of radial tire was established by using MSC.Marc software as platform.In the calculation of model,the following processes,such as static load applying process,free rolling process,full brake coasting process,anti-block braking process and tracktive process,were taken into account to obtain the stress distribution on the ground-contact area of tire and the relationship between traction force and rotational speed of tire,which were beneficial to learn the dynamic performance of tire.
