Abstract

The work presents theoretical research on the pneumatic and airless tires based on the numerical modelling using the Finite Element Method (FEM) like alternative to experimental testing, since its time and economical values are more effective for a research connecting with a tire behaviour. The approach presented in this research of the numerical simulation sequence enables the engineer to determine efficiently dynamic properties and behaviour of vehicle airless tire at design stage. In the research numerical FEM modelling and comparing analysis between pneumatic (with different inflation pressure) and airless tire behaviour characteristics (tire deformation, tire components material stiffness and stress results etc.) under investigation. According to numerical simulation results and comparing analysis between pneumatic and airless tires behaviour characteristics was established that airless tire provide more safety using of a vehicle in order to avoid road traffic accidents by a tire puncture and blowout, flat tire problem and avoid complicate sensors installation.
