Abstract
At speeds in excess of 40 miles/h, tire noise usually predominates the over-all noise produced by truck traffic. One of the sound-producing mechanisms of the tire is the vibration of the tread and tire casing. In order to relate the external parameters of tire load, pressure, speed, tread types, etc., with the noise produced through tire vibration it is essential to define the tire vibrational characteristics. The object of this experiment was to obtain the data necessary to describe the vibrational behavior of a truck tire. Data are presented showing the effects of pressure, tread, and load on frequency and mode shapes, in addition to the relationship between sidewall and tread vibrations for a typical truck tire.
