Abstract

ABSTRACT: Tire force and moment data can be collected from laboratory testing or track testing using wheel force transducers. The data can then be used to generate semiempirical tire models. Examples of the two methods are presented; differences in the results between the two methods are discussed. With novel simulation methodology, tire models have been used to successfully predict vehicle handling characteristics. The influence of tire design changes on overall vehicle performance can quickly be evaluated both in terms of on-center stability and at the limit balance.
