METHOD FOR THE SIMULATION OF THE PHYSICAL BEHAVIOUR OF A TYRE ROLLING ON THE GROUND

摘要

The invention relates to a method for simulating the behaviour of a tyre mounted on a vehicle in running conditions on the ground, wherein said method comprises a mechanical model for essentially computing the longitudinal (Fx) and transverse (Fy) stresses transmitted by the tyre between the ground and the vehicle according to dynamic parameters related to the physical conditions of the tyre running and use and according to physical tyre-specific parameters. According to the invention, the mechanical model is set and solved in an iterative manner (8-10), assuming that the tyre contact surface with the ground comprises an adherence contact area and a sliding contact area and assuming that there is a unique x-coordinate point b indicative of the transition between the two contact areas. Applicability: real-time simulation of a vehicle dynamic behaviour.
