A study on tire modeling for Camber Thrust and Camber torque
2002Co-Authors: Ichiro Kageyama, Satoru KuwaharaAbstract:Abstract This study deals with a tire model for Camber Thrust and Camber torque on an irregular road surface such as road with ruts. At first, tire characteristics with Camber angle are measured, for example dimensions of contact area, width, radius of tire and so on. In this research, it is shown to be necessary to those for tire model. The design parameters of brush model are decided. In this tire model, it is considered that the dimensions of contact area is related to the tire Camber angle and load, and also the contact pressure is changed according to the contact length, and also the rigidity is changed according to the contact pressure. Finally, it is shown that the calculation result of the tire model has a good expression for the characteristics of Camber Thrust and Camber torque.

Tyre tests and interpretation of experimental data
2016Co-Authors: G. FondaAbstract:The test techniques and associated equipment developed for use of the Air Force-Cornell Tire Tester have permitted road tests yielding unique data on the cornering charaaer-istics of pneumatic tyres. Account is given of tests performed for the Dunlop Tire and Rubber Corporation, involving variations of inflation pressure (18 to 45 lb. per sq. in.), Camber (&30 deg.), and steer (f30 deg.) ; these angular ranges are unprecedented. The tyres were nominally 5~00,6.00, and 7.00 by 16 section, of normal construction but smooth and round to eliminate effects deriving from tread pattern. The ensuing data analysis was based upon familiarity with aircraft derivative notation, the advantages of which are described, and upon simple tyre theory, which is outlined in an appendix. The outstanding conclusions, from a practical standpoint, are (1) that Camber Thrust strongly affects the static stability of the typical automobile; (2) that the motor cycle operates with negligible slip angle below 35-deg. tilt, whereas above 35-deg. tilt appreciable slip angle must be developed; (3) that a plot of pneumatic trail against side force has great value because of its linearity and ready significance; and (4) that tyre theory should be utilized to permit rational, concise interpretations of empirical data
