Prediction of the performance of off-road tyres

摘要

The prediction of tyre forces is of great interest to both the designers and users of off-road vehicles. The magnitude of tractive force can determine the size of implement, which may be pulled and the rate of work. The lateral force controls the steer-ability and handling of an off-road vehicle. The rolling resistance force should be minimised to ensure that the energy wasted in overcoming motion resistance force is as small as possible.
