Abstract :
The three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of the radial tire was built in the software of MARC. In the FE model of tire, the complexities of material and structure, the friction between the tire and the ground, are fully taken into account. Different rolling conditions were simulated under the standard pressure and rated load. The friction stress distribution characteristics of the tire surface contacted with the ground were analyzed in different operation modes, providing a basis for the analysis of the tires´ dynamic characteristics.
