Simulation of Temperature Distribution of energy dissipation in Truck Radial Tire

Rubber is the main element of tires and the main part of the tire consists of rubber. Tire and track heating is caused by hysteresis effects due to the deformation of the rubber during operation. Temperature in tire components depends on many factors, including tire geometry, inflation pressure, vehicle load and speed, road type and temperature and environmental conditions. In this study, using the theory of heat production in tire and relying on the finite element and calculating the stress and strain field of different parts of the tire, the temperature field of a steady-state rolling truck radial tire is predicted. ABAQUS software is used in this finite element prediction. It is shown that the results predicted using ABAQUS software are in significantly better agreement with the experimental results.
