Abstract
Vehicle handling, ride, and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) are all about dynamics, which is desired to be improved for high-performance cars but often conflicted with each other. To reveal the performance interactions and trade-offs, this chapter first introduces the fundamental tire material properties and discusses the stress/deformation distribution in the tire contact patch. Then, the approaches to solve the conflicts between vehicle safety and comfort are presented, including damping optimization and active suspension control. Lastly, a study on tire squeal noise during vehicle braking and cornering is exhibited. Nowadays, it is nearly impossible to only focus on one performance without considering another during vehicle/tire development.
