Tests and Assessment of the Contact Surface of Selected Measuring Tires of Friction Testers with the Airport Surface Depending on Changes in Pressure and Load

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The basis of the work was to estimate the relationship between wheel pressure and wheel pressure on the surface, and the size of the contact surface. The article presents world experience in the field and presents the theoretical basis for calculating the contact area of a wheel with the road surface. The tests were carried out for two types of tires - ASTM E-1551 and ASFT T520. The tests proved a significant influence of the wheel pressure value and wheel pressure on the surface on the obtained surface area of the wheel contact with the surface.</jats:p>
