Abstract

Each tire has a critical speed at which a standing wave phenomenon occurs along the circumferential direction. If the standing waves are formed, the tire temperature is rapidly increased and it leads to tire failure eventually. As the formation of the standing waves is closely related to the tire stiffness, the effect of the tread pattern needs to be studied numerically. The standing wave phenomenon of a tire model with tread pattern is predicted by an explicit finite element method. The critical speed of the tire with tread pattern is in a good agreement with the experiment and is $15{\sim}20\;km/h$ lower than that of the tire without tread pattern. The effects of the inflation pressure and the vertical load on the critical speed are also investigated by using the tire model with tread pattern.
