Abstract
It is well known that the vibration and the noise of agricultural machinery during running on a road is strongly influenced by the lug form of the tire. Many studies were carried out on the characteristics of Automobile Tire, but few studies have been carried out on Agricultural Tire. In this research, the vibration characteristics of an Agricultural Tire was studied by experimental modal analysis method. Furthermore, the tire was modeled as a thin, cylindrical beam and the fundamental values of the tire were identified by the optimized method. Finally, the effects of the fundamental values of the tire on natural frequencies were investigated.
