Abstract

The extension of very limited tyre shear force and moment measured results to allow the modelling and simulation of quite general motions of automobiles is discussed. Relying on a recently devised algorithm that has its basis in magic formula and parameter normalization methods, processes are devised for determining the necessary parameter values of the algorithm. The method is applied to two tyres that are substantially different in nature. Where data are lacking, fundamental knowledge of tyre mechanics is applied to the problem of obtaining the best values. Results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the processes. Datasets for the particular tyres treated and the algorithm itself are included.
