Prediction of Soil Stresses Caused by Tire Inflation Pressures and Dynamic Loads. Written for presentation at the 1994 International Winter Meeting, Atlanta, GA. Paper No. 941547

摘要

Peak soil-tire interface stresses were measured on the surface of a tire during a series of experiments examining dynamic load-inflation pressure combinations. Dynamic load and inflation pressure were both found to affect the peak soil-tire interface stresses on the lug of a tire. A finite element model then used these values to predict the stress distributions in the soil.
