Abstract

The purpose behind this work is to discuss dynamic stability when self-excited vibration occurs on tire tread. First of all, a suspension-tire-tread model has been built for simulation, and the result shows the existence of self-excited vibration on tire tread under particular conditions. A six-component test of the wheel indicates that self-excited vibration often takes place on tire tread when the vehicle travels straightaway at high speed. Then, through bifurcation analysis of tire tread, we found that the speed of the vehicle and slip angle of the wheel play significant roles in vibration generation. Within the lateral speed component caused by the tiny slip angle, equivalent damping of system turns to negative and thus provides enough energy to be consumed by obstructions. In order to investigate the influence of this self-excited vibration on the system, the system model has been simulated with different parameters, such as vehicle speed, vertical load, and tire pressure. The result explains different wear characteristics from the driven wheel to the driving wheel, which provides the basis of polygonal wear calculation.
