ABSTRACT In radial tires, belt structure plays a role of minimizing the lateral deflection of carcass, which has a significant influence on the cornering and wear properties of a tire. The deflection of carcass affects the magnitude of tread block deformation when the tire is under the slip angle. As a result, it can change the cornering stiffness characteristics of the tire, especially when the vertical load is high. During tire development, a tire design engineer tries to find the optimal belt ply angle that satisfies the various performance requirements simultaneously, but it is not an easy task because the effect of belt angle change is different depending on the size of the tire. There have been many attempts to construct a mathematical model that represents the structural properties of the belt package, including the string-based model and the beam on elastic foundation model. But, in many cases, only the in-plane bending of belt is considered and the shear deformation is not taken into consideration. In this study, the effect of belt angle change on belt stiffness is analyzed using a mathematical model based on the Timoshenko beam theory. This model can account for the in-plane bending and shear deformation of the belt structure at the same time. The results of the analysis show how the contribution of bending and shear is changed depending on a tire design parameter, herein the belt cord angle. The effect of belt ply angle change on cornering stiffness is investigated by means of the brush model including belt flexibility. The prediction by the brush model is compared with the measurement using a Flat-trac machine, and the validity of the model is discussed.

Brush Model

On the basis of calculating the longitudinal force using the original brush model, we simplify the tire structure and consider the lateral force generated by the lateral elasticity of the tread. At the same time, the boundary conditions between the adhesion area and the slip zone in the contact area of the tire are fully discussed. By establishing an improved tire brush model, the error caused by neglecting the sideslip characteristics is avoided, and the adaptability of the tire model is improved. A double nonlinear compensation method based on the lateral acceleration deviation and the yaw rate deviation is employed to estimate the road adhesion coefficient, which is closer to the actual attachment situation than the standard calculation. Based on this model, the vehicle stability coefficient k is defined and calculated to describe the stability of the vehicle during the driving process. The modeling results show that the value of k is always in the stable range of [0, 1]. Therefore, the vehicle that utilizes the improved tire brush model is always within the controllable range in the driving process, which verifies the effectiveness of the model.
