“…Tyre models may be classified in three main levels of complexity: basic, neglecting the belt inertia [9][10][11][12], suitable for simulations with frequencies up to approximatively 15 Hz and wavelength greater than approximatively 1.5 m, intermediate, considering the belt as a rigid ring elastically mounted on the rim [13][14][15], suitable for simulations up to 60-100 Hz and wavelength greater than 0.1-0.2 m, and advanced, allowing belt deflection [16][17][18][19], suitable for higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. Finally, there are also models dedicated to the investigation of specific issues, such as tyre-temperature distribution [20], tyre wear [21], contact pressure [22,23], impulsive loading [24], hydroplaning [25,26].…”
