  2. 6. The influence of modelling parameters on the simulation of car tyre rolling losses and rolling noise

    Author : Carsten Hoever; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rolling resistance; modelling parameters; parameter study; radiation; tyre road noise; tyres; tyre road interaction; waveguide finite element;

    Abstract : Due to legislative changes within the EU there is an increased demand for improvement in car tyre rolling resistance and noise generation. Yet, apart from empirical data based on measurements, there is little information concerning the relationship between rolling resistance and rolling noise generation. READ MORE

  4. 7. Tyre aerodynamics of passenger vehicles

    Author : Erik Josefsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; drag; wind tunnel; tyres; aerodynamics; wheels;

    Abstract : To decelerate climate change and limit global warming, there is a need for reducing the environmental impact of vehicles, which can be achieved by increasing their energy efficiency. For a passenger vehicle, one of the largest resistive forces is aerodynamic drag. READ MORE

  5. 8. Mathematical modelling for optimization of truck tyres selection

    Author : Zuzana Sabartova; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; simulation-based optimization; truck tyres selection; surrogate model; radial basis function interpolation; rolling resistance coefficient; combinatorial set of problem instances; global optimization; global optimization;

    Abstract : This thesis, which consists of an introduction and three appended papers, concerns the optimal selection of tyres for a given vehicle configuration and an operating environment in which the vehicle is to be used. The optimization problem stems from an industrial project performed in cooperation between Chalmers University of Technology and Volvo Group Trucks Technology (GTT). READ MORE

  6. 9. Truck tyre rolling resistance : Experimental testing and constitutive modelling of tyres

    Author : Jukka Hyttinen; Lars Drugge; Jenny Jerrelind; James Busfield; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Truck tyre; PRF; filler reinforced rubber; ambient temperature; rubber testing; parametrisation; Finite-element simulation; Lastbildäck; PRF; gummi; förstärkande fyllmedel; effekt av omgivningstemperatur; gummiprovning; parametrisering; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Global warming sets a high demand to reduce the CO2 emissions of vehicles. In the European Union heavy-duty road transports account for 6 % of the total greenhouse gases and one of the main factors affecting these emissions is related to the rolling resistance of tyres. READ MORE
