Method for characterizing noise level of rotating tire

摘要

A method for characterizing the level of noise generated by a tire having a specific footprint configuration through analyzing the shape of the tire's footprint and taking into account the tire's aspect ratio. The method includes: a) measuring the noise level if the solution to the calculation is inside of a predetermined range; or b) reconfiguring the footprint if the solution to the calculation is outside of a predetermined range. The advantage of this method is that a tire designer can design a tire, taking into account the noise level.
