Finite element tyre model for antilock braking system study

Abstract

Abstract:In the present work a 235/75R15 tyre 3D finite element (FE) model was developed using the commercial software package ABAQUS. The finite element model considers the severe nonlinearities due to a tyre's complicated geometry, hyperelastic properties of the rubber material, contact between the tyre and the road, and the reinforcing bars inside the tyre's structure. The FE model was utilised to implement a braking event of antilock braking system (ABS) controller logic. The ABS controller was developed based on a commercially available system and the logic was coded in Fortran 77 and implemented in a UVAMP ABAQUS subroutine. The detailed 3D tyre model and the FE ABS model are discussed in detail. The results show that the ABS logic is capable of maintaining the minimum slip ratio to avoid tyre sliding.Keywords: ABS; antilock braking system; finite element modelling; tyre; ABAQUS; dynamic explicit solver; VUAMP subroutine; hyperelastic; reinforcing elements; tyre road contact; slip ratio.

His research and application experience in tyres as well as vehicles has also been applied to railroad problems, which is another area of interest.

Simulation of Static Tyre–Pavement Interaction Using Two FE Models of Different Complexity

“…The composite structure of the tyre is illustrated in Figure 3, the geometric values are presented in Table 3, and the material parameters are collected in Table 4, based on a literature review. The material parameters, as Yeoh's hyper elastic, viscoelastic, and rebar, were collected from the works of [17,18]. The experimental determination of the material parameters of the tyre has been well summarised by [19].…”
