Site disturbance and machine performance from tree length skidding with a rubber-tired skidder
… document skidder performance based on speed and tire slip, 2) to determine the effects of skidding on soil physical properties, and 3) to develop recommendations to minimize the impact on soil properties while maintaining skidder performance. A Franklin 170 grapple skidder was operated in second …

Modeling and analysis of Regional Haul Steer (RHS) truck tire model
In this thesis, the RHS truck tire size 315/80R22.5 was developed using Finite Element Analysis and several material properties. The tire model was then validated using static and dynamic testing, against physical measurements provided by the manufacturer. A simulation model of flooded and snow …

Modeling and analysis of all-season passenger car tire using finite element analysis
… the ground vehicle is directly affected by its tire characteristics. Tires are the main components of the vehicle that resist all forces and moments generated during contact with the ground. Therefore, it is significant to better understand the effect of all tire characteristics on the tire-road …

Harvesting impacts on steep slopes in Virginia
… hardwood stands with conventional rubber-tired skidders on slopes greater than 30 percent in Virginia. Special emphasis was placed on erosion, compaction and soil movement. Ten randomly selected study areas were clear-cut between September 1988 and August 1989; measurements followed …

Tire-Pavement Interaction Noise (TPIN) Modeling Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)
Tire-pavement interaction is a dominant noise source for passenger cars and trucks above 25 mph (40 km/h) and 43 mph (70 km/h), respectively. For the same pavement, tires with different tread pattern and construction generate noise of different levels and frequencies. In the present study, …
