Book Review: A Review of “The Friction of Pneumatic Tyres”

Modelling of road surface temperature from a geographical parameter database. Part 2: Numerical

“…The high cost of salting means that winter maintenance engineers must decide whether to salt or nota decision which is particularly difficult on marginal nights when surface temperatures may or may not dip below the 0 ºC threshold. Unfortunately, ice is most slippery at 0 ºC (Moore, 1975), and thus an error of judgement on the engineers' part can be lethal. Despite a run of mild winters, UK road accident figures directly attributable to snow and ice have steadily increased during the 1990s (Thornes, 1998).…”

Tyre model development using co-simulation technique for helicopter ground operation

“…Previous researchers such as Moore [14] Mitchell [2] and Blundell and Harty [18] to model the lateral force, aligning moment, longitudinal force, rolling resistance moment and aligning moment. However, Mitchell [2] only provided equations for the vertical force, lateral force and aligning moment.…”

“…Landing gears have an important function to support the aircraft on the ground and to allow it to perform a taxi, take-off or landing manoeuvre [14]. In this study the being generated on the left and right tyres.…”

Pavement Friction and Skid Resistance Measurement Methods: A Literature Review

“…Moore [30] reported 5 × 10 −3 mm as minimum water film thickness to be expelled by surface microasperities. Bond et al [43] declared the same amount of magnitude by conducting visual experiments to monitor the water film between a tire and a smooth transparent plate.…”

“…Moore [30] characterized surface texture by defining three parameters: size, interspace or density, and shape. Taneerananon and Yandell [31] showed that in the water drainage mechanism, density has minor importance compared to the two other parameters.…”
