Abstract The cornering, or lateral force response of heavy-duty truck tires, has been evaluated on real road surfaces at speeds of 10–60 km/h. The special mobile truck tire dynamometer has a two-test-tire carriage mounted just ahead of the rear support tires of an articulated truck (tractor) trailer. Equal slip angles may be applied simultaneously to both test tires. The frequency response was evaluated by typical phase angle methods. The phase angle (lag of lateral force behind instantaneous angle) increased with frequency (time rate of application of angle) and decreased with increasing speed.

Abstract An indoor wheel test for heavy duty truck tires has been developed to predict in-service failures of commercial and developmental tires. The test, run at slow speed and high load to emphasize stress and fatigue rather than heat, is based on the premise that repeated high stress is the principal cause of in-service tire failure. These stresses occur when dynamic or transient overloads are caused by road bumps, load transfer during braking and cornering, or dual tire configuration on non-uniform surfaces. Although these overloads may occur infrequently, they can become very significant in the long distances run by truck tires. Other current heavy duty truck tire tests are generally run at higher speeds, emphasizing heat resistance of rubber compounds, or else are low-speed, much-overloaded bead tests which are unrealistically severe. Since its development in 1974 the present test has been broadly predictive for many belt, carcass, or fatigue related in-service failures of both bias and radial commercial and developmental truck tires. The test is called “The DuPont High Load Wheel Test” to distinguish it from other low-speed-high-load tests.

Abstract Under the guidance of the SAE Truck Tire Characteristics Task Force, the background to support the creation of a recommended practice for experimentally determining the free-rolling cornering properties of heavy-duty truck tires has been developed. The value of such a recommended practice lies in the establishment of a broadly accepted procedure for obtaining the free-rolling cornering data needed to represent tires in vehicle dynamics simulations of commercial trucks. This paper presents the proposed test procedure and background data. It contains a summary of the proposed test procedure, example data from CALSPAN and UMTRI using the proposed procedure, a statistical comparison of the data from CALSPAN and UMTRI, a discussion of the effect of inflation pressure on the data, a discussion of how the proposed test affects tire cornering properties and tread surface topography, and a look at the projected future work of the task force.
