Abstract
The airless tires are developed to overcome a disadvantage of pneumatic tire which lost maneuverability caused of flattening and blasting. The finite element analysis (FEA) is an effective method for development of airless tires which have a complex construction. The material properties which describe mechanical behavior of each tire component are very important to yield accurate result. The high order constitutive model usually obtains the accuracy of FEA results. Unfortunately, it consumes the simulating time. The suitable stress-strain range of Mooney-Rivlin and Ogden model was selected in this research. The vertical stiffness of airless tire model was compared to the experiment. This study found that the accurate result and consuming less time of TWEEL airless tire model depended on an appropriate pair of material properties. There were 100% of tread and 30% of spoke stress-strain characteristic based on the Mooney-Rivlin model. Consequently, the study and design of airless tire by finite element method will be carried out efficiently in the further works.
