Finite element analysis and experimental analysis of natural frequencies and mode shapes for a non - rotating tyre

Development and validation of a tire model for a real time simulation of a helicopter tranversing and manoeuvring on a ship flight deck

“…Finally, th e model can be used for development of autom ated control algorithm s for th e traversing system. There are several finite element models in development th a t em ulate th e geom etry of a complete tire including work by H ashim oto et al [2], Yu and A boutorabi [3], Shiraishi et al [4], and Negrus et al [5]. The application of th e finite element tire models ranges from steady state behaviour of th e tire under conditions of contact patch slip, transient tire behaviour, to mode shape and eigenvalue analysis in th e frequency domain.…”
