“…RR is significantly affected by the hyper-viscoelastic property of tire components, tread profile and thickness, and tire inflation pressure. Cho et al 19,20 tried to estimate the RR in a 3D patterned tire. Ghoreishy 21 presented a fast, simple, and robust method based on FE analysis for the prediction of RR of tire.…”

This research work is devoted to the study of the effect of model parameters and material properties on tire rolling resistance. The main goal of this research is to investigate and clarify the effect of the adopted hyper-viscoelastic material model on tire rolling resistance simulation results. For this purpose, some new approaches were used and current shortcomings were introduced. Computer simulations were carried out using Abaqus standard command line. Linear and parallel rheological framework viscoelastic models were implemented and rolling resistance of a passenger car tire was determined. Different parametric simulations were carried out and the results were compared with rolling resistance data obtained from experimental tests. The results revealed that the calculated rolling resistance force depends on the implemented viscoelastic model. The linear viscoelastic model could not accurately predict the trend of rolling resistance with variation of tire inflation pressure and applied load. On the contrary, parallel rheological framework could cope with this trend. The parallel rheological framework model is more sensitive to inflation pressure. However, the sensitivity of both models to applied vertical load is nearly the same. Although cornering simulation is independent of the adopted viscoelastic model, the type of viscoelastic model could affect the footprint contact pressure contour.

“…The vulcanization and the nano-particles provide the essential chemical cross-linking points, but there will be the problem of combination between the particles and the polymer and uneven distribution of polymer and filler. The system of HTSSBR-PU is totally different in these aspects; the synergy of the network is supported by the soft segment with uniformly dispersed molecular weight and the even distribution of physical cross-link points provided by the micro-phase separation (Chen and Hsu, 1990; Cho et al, 2013), which leads to noticeable diminution of hysteresis loss and decrease of heat accumulation. The well-performed rolling resistance can also obviously reduce fuel consumption, which effectively reduces the carbon emission.…”

Novel Design of Eco-Friendly Super Elastomer Materials With Optimized Hard Segments Micro-Structure: Toward Next-Generation High-Performance Tires

Recently, sustainable development has become a significant concern globally, and the energy crisis is one of the top priorities. From the perspective of the industrial application of polymeric materials, rubber tires are critically important in our daily lives. However, the energy consumption of tires can reach 6% of the world's total energy consumption per annum. Meanwhile, it is calculated that around 5% of carbon dioxide comes from the emission of tire rolling due to energy consumption. To overcome these severe energy and environmental challenges, designing and developing a high-performance fuel-saving tire is of paramount significance. Herein, a next-generation, eco-friendly super elastomer material based on macromolecular assembly technology has been fabricated. Hydroxyl-terminated solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber (HTSSBR) with high vinyl contents prepared by anionic polymerization is used as flexible soft segments to obtain excellent wet skid resistance. Furthermore, highly symmetrical 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate (NDI), different proportions of chain extender, and the cross-linking agent with moderate molecular length are selected as rigid hard segments to achieve simultaneous high heat resistance. Through this approach, a homogeneous network supported by uniformly distributed hard segment nanoparticles is formed because soft segments with equal length are chemically end-linked by the hard segments. This super elastomer material exhibits excellent wear resistance and low rolling resistance. More importantly, the wear resistance, rolling resistance, and wet-skid resistance are reduced by 85.4, 42.3, and 20.8%, respectively, compared to the elastomeric material conventionally used for tire. By taking advantage of this excellent comprehensive service performance, the long-standing challenge of the “magic triangle” plaguing the rubber tire industry for almost 100 years is resolved. It is anticipated that this newly designed and fabricated elastomeric material tailored for tires will become the next generation product, which could exhibit high potential for significantly cutting the fuel consumption and reducing the emission of carbon dioxide.

“…Literature shows that the apex is one of the highest contributors to rolling resistance per volume 3 while the highest total losses come from the tread. 3,63,64 The idea was to choose the stiffest and softest rubber compound and a compound that contributes the most to RR. Tread specimen is the largest contributor to the RR, 3,63,64 bead rubber is the stiffest rubber (most carbon black and highest IRHD hardness) and apex specimen showed to be the softest compound (lowest carbon black composition and IRHD).…”

Tyres are a vital vehicle component forming an interface between a vehicle and the road, enabling the generation of braking, steering and traction forces. However, they also generate rolling resistance which researchers have tried to minimise through the years for environmental and economic reasons. Despite numerous attempts to model rolling resistance of tyres there still does not seem to exist a simple, flexible and accepted way of modelling rolling resistance in the time domain as well as parametrising models in an easy and accessible way. This study explores a simple and intuitive way of parametrising a hyperviscoplastic parallel rheological framework. In the experimental part of this study, rubber samples with various amounts of carbon black filler are extracted from a truck tyre section and tested using dynamic mechanical analysis. The test data was used to parametrise the material model. The model consists of Mooney-Rivlin hyperelasticity, 40 Prony elements and 8 perfectly plastic elements with Ogden hyperelasticity. The paper introduces a method to obtain a large number of parameters using only six tuneable parameters, which simplifies the tuning of the model drastically. The parametrised model is suitable for tyre rolling resistance simulations with frequency and strain amplitude dependency of the storage and loss modulus. A wide range of strain amplitudes and frequencies can be covered with the proposed method and it is possible to achieve a good fit for the storage and loss modulus values with the benefit of only a few tuneable parameters. Additional Prony or plastic networks do not increase the amount of tuneable parameters. Moreover, the method can be used to parametrise the material using manual iterations which is generally not possible for a parallel rheological framework with such a large amount of parameters.
