Abstract
This paper investigates the planar vibration characteristic of heavy load radial tires with a large flat ratio. A proposed tire model with a flexible ring on an elastic continuous foundation is investigated utilizing kinematic modeling and experimental modal analysis. Planar coupling deformation of the radial and tangential direction is considered to enrich the kinematic characteristic of the flexible belt and the continuous sidewall; a flexible ring on an elastic continuous foundation tire model is proposed to investigate the coupling vibration characteristic between the flexible belt and the continuous sidewall. In-extensibility assumption is utilized to simplify the proposed tire model and the planar vibration modal features of the heavy load radial tire are discussed. The variation of the inflation pressure on the radial and tangential stiffness of the sidewall spring model is enriched into the flexible ring on an elastic continuous foundation tire model to extend the modal prediction of the tires with a different inflation pressure. Taking the relative error between the experimental and analytical modal resonance frequency of the tested tire with a different inflation pressure as the object value, structural parameters of the proposed tire model are identified by a backward genetic algorithm. Experimental and theoretical results show that: the planar coupling vibration characteristic of the heavy load radial tire can be predicted precisely with the flexible ring on an elastic continuous foundation tire model; meanwhile, considering the linear variations of the radial and tangential sidewall stiffness due to the inflation pressure, the proposed tire model can be extended to analyze the vibration characteristic of the heavy load radial tire with a different inflation pressure.
Highlights
The challenges to engineer a vehicle with the smooth-riding [1], pleasant-sounding [2], and safe-maneuverability [3] characteristics are becoming increasingly difficult and emergently needed.the assessments of the vehicle quality and comfort are greatly influenced by their expectations and perceptions of the vehicle Noise Vibration and Harness (NVH) [4], especially for the heavy load vehicle [5] at higher speed
The errors between the analytical modal frequency with a different inflation pressure utilizing the flexible ring on an elastic continuous foundation tire model and experimental modal frequency are limited within 3%; the error of analytical modal resonance frequency with inflation pressure of 0.3 MPa is up to 6%; and
Utilizing the theoretical modeling and experimental modal analysis, flexible ring on an elastic continuous foundation tire model is proposed as the two-dimensional tire model to investigate the planar vibration characteristic of the heavy load radial tires with a large flat ratio

The challenges to engineer a vehicle with the smooth-riding [1], pleasant-sounding [2], and safe-maneuverability [3] characteristics are becoming increasingly difficult and emergently needed. 8, 2064 paper, the radial and tangential deformation, respectively, of the flexible belt of 27 ring and continuous sidewall ring are investigated to enrich the two-dimensional tire model for the heavy load radial tire with a large flat ratio. In model the present the radial and tangential of the flexible belt ring spring to thepaper, inflation pressure, the flexibledeformation, ring on the respectively, elastic continuous foundation tire and continuous sidewall ring are investigated to enrich the two-dimensional tire model for the heavy model is extended to the modal prediction of the tires with a different inflation pressure. With the stiffness variation of the sidewall spring model to the inflation pressure, the flexible ring on theModel elastic continuous foundation tire model is Theoretical. Tire extended to the modal prediction of the tires with a different inflation pressure
