This paper analyse the energy flowwhich generates heat and causes wear during the acceleration period ofundercarriage wheels after aircraft touchdown on the runway. In thisacceleration period, a sliding between the wheel tyre and runway surface takesplace. The sliding friction causes high temperature which emits pollution smokeand produces excessive tyre wear. A model based on mechanical dynamics isestablished for analysing the high temperature, heat transfer rate to tyre andconcrete runway. The effect of adopting a pre-rotation device is also analysed inorder to lower the temperature and reduce the tyre wear. The width of tyre isshown also having significant effect on the raised temperature. A blackenedrunway is believed to have changed the heat conduction therefore affecting thelanding quality.
