Abstract

When a motorcycle crashes, the front tire receives the reaction force first. This force influences the following motions of the motorcycle and the rider. The reaction force for the tire should therefore be calculated with considerable accuracy, otherwise the evaluation of injury through motorcycle crash simulation may contain serious error. This paper describes the development of an FE model of a tire containing rubber, nylon cord and air, with an aluminum rim. The results of the tire crash simulation using this model were in good agreement with the data from both static and dynamic experiments.
