Research on tread modeling of physical characteristics tire model (Verification of theoretical validity of TM Tire Model)

Abstract

In the early stages of chassis model-based development, we needed a tire physical model that could be handled easily, and we devised the TM tire model. Some tire samples have verified that the TM tire model is superior to existing physical property models. The feature of the TM tire model is that is improved the modeling of tire tread parts. This improvement has made it possible to embody the mechanism of the cornering force in the small slip angle range. In this paper, we theoretically prove that the way of thinking of the TM tire model has universal validity and explain its mechanism.
