Road noise is classified as structure-born noise. It is caused by tire excitation while driving on rough roads. The challenges of tire modeling include that the tire has a complex radial structure and ...

Before a car rolls off the production line, manufacturers run virtual tests on it. Simulating tires is particularly challenging since they are subject to extreme stress when driving over potholes and ...

This paper reviews the development and application of a computer simulation for simulating ground vehicle dynamics including steady state tire behavior. The models have been developed over the last ...

AKRON—Abdullah Al Amin hasn't been in the tire industry long, but so far he likes what he's seen. And better yet, he sees a future for himself in the business. After earning his doctorate in ...

AKRON—Experts from the testing and compliance firm Smithers have published a paper on tire performance in the snow using regression analysis, or a form of virtual modeling. The accomplishment in ...

To meet increasingly complex requirements, Nexen said it has expanded its use of simulation and modeling technologies, ...

Manufacturers conduct virtual tests on vehicle designs long before the first car rolls off the assembly line. Simulation of the tires has remained a challenge, however. The software tool “CDTire/3D” ...

After years of commuting, numerous runs through the canyons, and a couple of track days, the summer tires on our 2007 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 had definitely seen better days. Beyond the fact that the wear ...
