A new absolute nodal coordinate formulation thin plate tire model, which includes the damping property of the rubber and an efficient tire–road contact algorithm is given. The fractional derivative viscosity constitutive model is proposed in this paper based on the complete form of the absolute nodal coordinate formulation thin plate element, which is created to describe the stress-free initially curved configuration of the tire. A new contact algorithm based on the integration of the contact pressure within the contact patch is developed. By solving the simultaneous equations of the tire geometry and road profile, the dimensionless coordinates for the boundary points of contact patch could be obtained directly. A self-adaptable Gauss integration strategy is introduced to perform the integration of the contact pressure within the varying region, so the integration could reach high precision by few integration points. The calculation of contact force is determined based on penalty method and smoothed Coulomb friction model. The application of fractional derivative viscosity on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation thin plate element is demonstrated by numerical results. A pressurized Golf tire model is given to show the feasibility of the proposed tire–ground contact algorithm.
