A method is presented for the dynamic analysis of contact deformation for rolling tire on a road. The tire is modeled as an inextensible ring on elastic foundation with damping. Under known radial deflection, the ground contact region is predicted by solving simplified ring motion equation, treating ground contacting as a boundary condition. Furthermore, the effect of internal damping and rotating speed is analyzed on contact region.
