Wheel Vibrations and Transient Tire Forces

SUMMARY

This paper presents a survey of the state-of-the-art in predicting the wheel vibrations in a complex dynamic vehicle suspension system and their influence on the forces transduced in a high frequency area from the tire to the vehicle's body. Secondly it presents also the transient evolution of tire models used for prediction and understanding high frequency movements in the tire's contact area, producing the guiding forces and torques during vehicle handling.
