Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of tire width to tire-pavement noise. A tire-pavement noise numerical model in the near field has been developed using the three-dimensional finite-element method, and performed in the standard FEM code package ADINA. The model is composed of two main components: a rolling tire pavement interaction model and a sound propagation model. The tire width studied ranged from 180 to 210 mm. The computer simulation model was calibrated and validated using experimental results made available from past research. From the simulation results, it was found that tire width has a noticeable effect on tire-pavement noise. In particular, it was found that tires with wider base were found to produce higher noise levels.
