Finite Element Analysis on Groove Volume Change of Radial Tire under Free Rolling Condition

Cheng Dong-don

Abstract

The finite element model of 12.00R20 truck and bus radial tire was established by using Abaqus software.The contact state was analyzed in implicit algorithm under inflation,static load,braking condition and driving condition.Then the free rolling speed was determined and the free rolling of the tire was analyzed.The dynamic process under free rolling was simulated in explicit algorithm.Then the change of the friction force between tire and road,and the change of groove volume,were analyzed,which provided a useful reference for future research on tread wear and pattern noise,and design of tire pattern.
