The mechanisms involved during the wet braking of new and worn tires

ABSTRACT

Tires are used by the customers during several tens of thousands of kilometres, and before their replacement, the driver will encounter a continuous variation of tread depth due to the tire wearing. Although the wet braking labelling demonstrates the performance of the tire in the new stage, it is known that the wet traction evolves with tire wear. In this paper, an in-depth comparison of the wet grip performance of new and worn tires will be conducted, based on the regulatory wet braking test. For this purpose, we propose an original approach to analyse braking test results, which allows breaking down and quantifying the relative importance of the mechanisms involved during this test. This study demonstrates that two main mechanisms are taking place during the entire test: rubber friction and hydroplaning mechanisms. The µ value obtained at low speeds reflects the friction potential of the tested tires while the decline of performance at higher speeds is attributed to hydroplaning mechanisms. This analysis is conducted on numerous tires and demonstrates that current regulatory test applied on new tires is focussing mainly on the rubber friction mechanism. The same test applied on worn tires exhibits both rubber friction and hydroplaning mechanisms. The mechanisms decomposition shows that the source of the performance decline from new to worn status varies greatly, some tires having most of their performance loss due to hydroplaning, some others due to rubber friction drop.     

Hydroplaning simulation of a tire in thin water using fem and an estimation method and its application to skid number estimation

To simulate the hydroplaning of a tire, many analytical studies have been performed using commercial explicit FE (Finite Element) codes such as MSC.DYTRAN and LS-DYNA. However, most previous studies on this subject have addressed simulation of hydroplaning for water more than 5 mm deep. Additionally, because a great number of Eulerian elements and Lagrangian elements are typically used to analyze hydroplaning and because multiple analyses should be performed for various water depths, long CPU times are required. In this study, it was found that the traction force and the lift and drag forces between the tire and the road surface could be easily estimated for water shallower than 5 mm using an exponential function based on tire rolling FE simulation results. Furthermore, changes in skid resistance, expressed as SN (skid number), could be estimated for various water depths and vehicle speeds using the method proposed in this study, and the results were proven to be in good agreement with results obtained using the ASTM E274 Pavement Friction Tester.     

基于 FLUENT 软件轮胎滑水现象模拟研究

基于FL U EN T软件模拟了轮胎滑水产生过程,并计算了不同轮胎花纹、不同车速及不同水膜厚度等条件下轮胎所受动水压强的大小。模拟分析结果表明:①复合花纹轮胎最不易发生滑水,横向花纹次之,纵向花纹最易滑水;②当水膜厚度不变时,同一轮胎所受动水压强随车速的增加而增加,且增长速度随着车速的增加而增加;③当车速不变时,同一轮胎所受动水压强随水膜厚度的增加而增加。以动水压强等于轮胎内部压强时轮胎发生滑水为判断标准,建立了轮胎临界滑水速度与水膜厚度的关系,并根据已有水膜厚度方程,推算出了临界滑水速度与降水量的关系。

为了减少雨天交通安全隐患,保障高速公路行车安全,根据雨天高速公路实际行车状态、路面径流特点和车辆水膜相互作用探究雨天安全行车速度。首先,提出“移动水坝”概念,并分析“移动水坝”现象出现的原因和形成机理;依据水力学基本理论探究“移动水坝”现象中水膜厚度和车辆滑水限速值的变化规律;然后,利用Fluent软件仿真车辆对水流的阻挡作用,依据外侧车道大车行车间距的水压力探究连续“移动水坝”形成的条件,并确定外侧车道大车在不同行驶速度下相应的临界车头时距;最后,应用流体力学原理仿真分析车辆行驶速度和水膜厚度与轮胎受到的动水压力之间的关系,确定不同降雨强度下内侧车道小客车的滑水限速值。研究结果表明：雨天在高速公路外侧车道行驶的大车会对路面径流产生阻挡作用,出现“移动水坝”现象;“移动水坝”作用下水膜厚度较正常排水状态下增加,导致内侧车道行驶的小客车滑水限速值降低;设定试验条件下外侧车道大车间距40 m时,两车的水坝作用连续,增加大车车头时距可以减弱连续“移动水坝”作用;车辆行驶过程中轮胎受到的动水压力随水膜厚度及行驶速度的增加而增大,小客车在“移动水坝”作用下发生滑水的概率增加,根据轮胎动水压力值和滑水值确定不同降雨强度对应的临界滑水速度,可相应作为雨天高速公路小客车行驶速度限值。     

基于径向刚度法的车辆翻新轮胎使用寿命判定

为了有效判定车辆翻新轮胎的剩余使用寿命，需要科学确定废旧轮胎胎体橡胶老化程度对翻新轮胎使用寿命的影响。在分析废旧轮胎胎体橡胶老化规律的基础上，通过橡胶老化试验测试及回归分析，确定了胎体弹性模量随着橡胶老化年限增加近似线性增大的影响规律；结合计算机仿真技术及试验测试技术，基于轮胎径向刚度法提出了翻新轮胎剩余使用寿命不安全系数计算方法，其计算数值大小与翻新轮胎径向刚度和新轮胎径向刚度之差成正比，与新轮胎径向刚度值成反比；构建了由橡胶加速老化系统、弹性模量测取系统、承载-变形计算机模拟系统和承载-变形测试系统等组成的翻新轮胎剩余使用寿命判定系统；基于径向刚度法和判定系统提出了车辆翻新轮胎剩余使用寿命判定规则，确定了翻新轮胎胎体剩余使用寿命判定具体流程；根据剩余使用寿命不安全系数计算方法和判定规则，将翻新轮胎确定为可正常使用、需降速使用和需报废处理3个级别，并利用11.00R22.5载重车辆翻新轮胎进行了剩余使用寿命判定与评价，依据判定规则分别计算了不同使用年限3条翻新轮胎的剩余使用寿命不安全系数，确定出3条翻新轮胎所对应的级别，判定与评价结论与实际使用情况相吻合。研究结果表明：废旧轮胎胎体橡胶老化程度对翻新轮胎剩余使用寿命影响显著，翻新轮胎径向刚度与剩余使用寿命之间存在较大影响关系；废旧轮胎胎体橡胶老化程度越严重和径向刚度越大，翻新轮胎的剩余使用寿命将会越短。     

湿滑条件下基于真实纹理道面的机轮着陆滑水行为解析

湿滑条件下的着陆滑跑是航空事故的高发区。为较为真实地反映湿滑条件下机轮的滑跑行为，需要建立包含真实道面纹理特征的滑跑模型。在提取真实道面形貌特征的基础上，通过解析湿滑条件下的机轮滑跑行为进一步反算其遵循的摩擦关系，以获得更加接近真实条件的摩擦模型；然后运用欧拉-拉格朗日（CEL）算法建立基于真实纹理形貌特征的道面-水膜-轮组的流固耦合模型，以摩擦因数、动水压力为分析指标来探讨速度、滑移率、水膜厚度以及道面类型对机轮滑水行为的作用规律，进而为提高飞机着陆的安全性提供理论参考。研究结果表明：A320型飞机着陆可能滑漂的危险区段为刚刚着陆阶段，随着速度的降低，道面支撑力会逐渐增大，而动水压力将逐渐减小；随着滑移率的增加，动水压力呈现出先减小后增大的趋势，当滑移率为0.15时，动水压力达到最小；关于水膜厚度的影响，水膜厚度小于3 mm时不会发生滑漂，而水膜厚度大于10 mm时极可能发生滑漂；当水膜厚度为7 mm时动水压力与飞机滑行速度、滑移率的相关性较大，可视为机轮发生滑漂的临界状态；最后，在其他条件一致的情况下，各道面类型的抗滑性排序为SMA > OGFC > AC > 平滑道面。因此，湿滑条件下，控制飞机着陆的初始速度和滑移率是减小航空事故、提高机场安全运行的有力保障。

In-plane Dynamics of Tires on the Road Based on an Experimentally Verified Rolling Ring Model

The dynamic behavior of tires rolling on the road is predicted based on a ring model that is experimentally verified to well represent a real tire. The road contact is kinematically represented by two displacement constraints, one in radial and one in tangential direction. The displacement constraints are enforced via the receptance theory. The receptance matrix developed for the rolling tire is found to be Hermitian. Numerical results show that the natural (or eigen-) frequencies of the rolling tire with road contact are, as expected, higher than those of the tire with no contact. The influence of the rotating speed to the eigen-frquencies of the tire is also shown. Analytic expressions for the mode shapes of a rolling tire with ground contact are derived.

In-plane Dynamics of Tires on the Road Based on an Experimentally Verified Rolling Ring Model

SUMMARY

The dynamic behavior of tires rolling on the road is predicted based on a ring model that is experimentally verified to well represent a real tire. The road contact is kinematically represented by two displacement constraints, one in radial and one in tangential direction. The displacement constraints are enforced via the receptance theory. The receptance matrix developed for the rolling tire is found to be Hermitian. Numerical results show that the natural (or eigen-) frequencies of the rolling tire with road contact are, as expected, higher than those of the tire with no contact. The influence of the rotating speed to the eigen-frquencies of the tire is also shown. Analytic expressions for the mode shapes of a rolling tire with ground contact are derived.     

Properties of roadway particles from interaction between the tire and road pavement

A large fraction of urban PM₁₀ concentrations is due to non-exhaust traffic emissions, including road dust, particles from tire/road interface, and brake lining particles. Although potential health and environmental impacts associated with tire wear debris have increased, few environmentally and biologically relevant studies of actual tire wear debris have been conducted. Tire wear particles (TWP) are released from the tire tread as a result of the interaction between the tire and the pavement. Roadway particles (RP), meanwhile, are particles on roads composed of a mixture of elements from tires, pavement, fuels, brakes, environmental dust, and the atmosphere. The main objective of the present study is to identify the contribution of tires to the generation of RP and to assess the potential environmental and health impacts of this contribution. First, a mobile measurement system was constructed and used to measure the RP on asphalt roads according to vehicle speed. The equipment of the mobile system provides PM₁₀ concentration by DustTrak DRX, and mass and number size distribution of fine and ultrafine particles by a fast mobility particle sizer (FMPS) and an aerosol particle sizer (APS). The dependence of RP mass and particle number concentration on vehicle speed was observed. It was also found that many particles were generated by rapid deceleration of the vehicle.     

Recycling technology of tire rubber

Material recycling technology for automotive tire rubber waste was developed by the continuous devulcanization method. The deodorization during the recycling process has become possible by the newly developed method. The devulcanized rubber obtained by these methods from tire rubber waste, generated from both the manufacturing products and scrap tires, shows excellent mechanical properties applicable to the new tire rubber compounds in engineering practice. Furthermore, it was confirmed by actual road tests that a test truck tire containing 10 wt % of the devulcanized rubber in the tread might exhibit tread wear behavior almost equal to that for the standard type with the new rubber compound.

Full-slip kinematics based estimation of vehicle yaw rate from differential wheel speeds

Vehicle yaw rate is a key parameter required for various active stability control systems. Accurate yaw rate information may be obtained from the fusion of some on-vehicle sensors and GPS data. In this study, the closed-form expression of the yaw rate–written as a function of front wheel rolling speeds and steering angle–was derived via kinematic analysis of a planar four-wheel vehicle on the assumption of no longitudinal slip at the both front tires. The obtained analytical solution was primarily verified by computational simulation. In terms of implementation, the 1:10th scaled rear-wheel-drive vehicle was modified so that the front wheel rolling speeds and the steering angle could be measured. An inertial measurement unit was also installed to provide the directly measured yaw rate used for validation. Preliminary experiment was done on some extremely random sideslip maneuvers beneath the global positioning using four recording cameras. Comparing with the vision-based and the gyro-based references, the vehicle yaw rate could be well approximated at any slip condition without requiring integration or vehicle and tire models. The proposed cost-effective estimation strategy using only on-vehicle sensors could be used as an alternative way to enhance performance of the GPS-based yaw rate estimation system while the GPS signal is unavailable.
