Development and optimization of a wide base FEA truck tire model for prediction of tire-road interactions
(2015-04-01)The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move. Currently, the most efficient way to do ... -
Development of truck tire-terrain finite element analysis models.
(2013-12-01)Heavy vehicles require tires which can withstand extreme loads while maintaining control, delivering performance and minimizing fuel consumption, particularly on soft soils. Recent advances in finite element analysis and ... -
Front underride protection devices: design methodology for heavy vehicle crashworthiness
(2016-04-01)North American Heavy Vehicles contribute to a third of all road fatalities in Canada. Head on collisions are one of the most severe, as the mismatch of vehicle weight and sizing intensifies when a passenger vehicle is ... -
Modelling and prediction of tire-rim slip with finite element analysis
(2023-07-01)In this thesis, tire-rim slip was simulated with a FEA model of a RHD truck tire. Multiple simulations were conducted to validate the model and investigate the effects of different parameters such as terrain type, tire-rim ...
