Estimation of vertical load on a tire from contact patch length and its use in vehicle stability control
… acceleration signal was processed to obtain the contact patch length created by the tire on the road surface. Then an appropriate equation relating the patch length to the vertical load is used to calculate the load. In order to obtain the needed data, tests were performed on a flat-track test …

Multi-scale Finite Element Modeling of Rubber Friction Toward Prediction of Hydroplaning Potential
… assumption that the behavior of the fluid at length scales smaller than the smallest element size is not captured. To improve the simulation results, in the second approach, an FSI model incorporating finite-element methods and the Navier-Stokes equations for a two-phase flow of water and air, …

Modal Analysis of a Discrete Tire Model and Tire Dynamic Response Rolling Over Short Wavelength Road Profiles
… (FDM) modal analysis accuracy under non-ground contact and non-rotating conditions. The discrete in-plane rigid–elastic-coupled tire model was modified to include the contact patch restriction, centrifugal force, Doppler, and Coriolis effects, covering a range of 0-300 Hz. As a result, the …

The Application of Intelligent Tires and Model Base Estimation Algorithms in Tire-road Contact Characterization
… was developed and trained to estimate the contact patch length, effective tire rolling radius and tire normal load. The third test setup developed for this study was an instrumented Volkswagen Jetta. Different sensors were installed to measure vehicle dynamic response. Additionally, one …
