Abstract

The purpose of the study is to develop computational and experimental methods for determining the normal, longitudinal and lateral stiffness of a vehicle tire with an inclined rotation wheel axis. Dimensionless correction factors were obtained to adjust the tire stiffness along the corresponding coordinate when the wheel rotation axis is tilted. It has been established that when the wheel rotation axis is tilted, the tire stiffness changes along different coordinates in different ways. It has been determined that the normal and longitudinal tire stiffness when the wheel rotation axis is tilted always decreases, regardless of the tilt direction. A change in the lateral tire stiffness when the wheel rotation axis is tilted can occur either in the direction of decrease or increase, depending on the combination of the tilt direction and the vector of the wheel lateral force.
