Abstract

Tires are the interface between vehicle and road. The forces and moments generated by the tires determine the motion of a road vehicle. Dedicated tire tests provide insight in these forces and moments and their dependency on slip, inclination angle and vertical force. The brush tire model can explain the measured characteristics qualitatively, the Magic Formula is a semi-empirical tire model to quantitatively describe them. To account for tire dynamic behavior, relaxation effects are discussed and modeled.
