Abstract

This chapter addresses the tyre force and moment generating characteristics and the subsequent modelling of these in a multibody systems (MBS) simulation. As a major area of importance it deserves to be the largest chapter in this book. Examples are provided of tyre test data and the derived parameters for established tyre models. The chapter concludes with a case study using an MBS virtual tyre test machine to interrogate and compare tyre models and data sets. Since the first edition new tyre models such as the FTire model from Gipser and the TAME Tire model from Michelin have become established and therefore receive a more extended coverage in this edition.
