Abstract:
The primary goal of this work is to design and implement a clutch and brake system on the single tire Terramechanics rig of Advanced Vehicle Dynamics Laboratory (AVDL) at Virginia Tech. This test rig was designed and built to study the performance of tires in off-road conditions on surfaces such as soil, sand, and ice. Understanding the braking performance of tires is crucial, especially for terrains like ice, which has a low coefficient of friction. Also, rolling resistance is one of the important aspects affecting the tractive performance of a vehicle and its fuel consumption. Investigating

Abstract:
Wheeled Mobile Driving Simulators (WMDS) promise a high potential for urban traffic simulation. The tires generate the accelerations of WMDS and therefore are a key component of this simulator type. Hence, the choice of a proper tire concept is of high importance. Solid tires with compact dimensions and a high vertical stiffness are a possible alternative approach to conventional pneumatic tires. To assess the application potential of solid tires their characteristics are identified. The results show that high slip values and slip angles are necessary to reach the maximum friction coefficient

Abstract:
The evolution of vehicle safety systems, from the earliest brakes to today's accident avoidance systems, has led vehicles to have very high passenger safety. Driving on ice, though, still happens to be one of the driving conditions of low safety. A multitude of factors were identified by various studies to contribute to the complex frictional mechanism at the tire-ice interface. The tire is only force transmitting element of the vehicle, to the surface. Thus it is very essential to have in depth understanding of the contact phenomena at the tire-ice interface, to improve vehicle safety on icy

碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>系統工程暨造船學系<br>99<br>This paper uses finite element method to analyze deformation, stress distribution, natural frequencies and mode shapes of both inflated slick tires and pattern tires. The analysis results were used to compare with testing conducted by ARTC to find the differences between them, and then the parameters were corrected for finite element model. This paper also makes suggestion for fine tuning the finite element model. The study uses the solid elements and shell elements to model the tires, and then discuss both advantage and disadvantage of these two models.
