Investigation on the transient tractive rolling contact behavior of tires considering wheel inertia effect

Puntos clave

• The investigation uncovers how wheel inertia significantly affects tractive rolling contact behavior in tires, leading to improved insights into vehicle dynamics.
• Key evidence highlights that the dynamic interactions of tires can change by up to 30% when wheel inertia is considered in the analysis.
• Kinematic analysis of tire behavior with an emphasis on wheel inertia provides crucial data on frictional properties and contact mechanics in motion.
• Understanding these interactions may enable better tire design strategies and improved vehicle performance on varied surfaces.
