Tire wear simulation methods and tire wear simulation program

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately simulate wear of a tire even in a tire to which a camber angle is applied.SOLUTION: A tire wear simulation method includes: a setting step for setting a simulation condition including a camber angle as a simulation condition relating to rolling analysis of a tire model obtained by dividing a tire into a finite number of elements; a correspondence calculation step for calculating a correspondence between a lateral force which is generated in the tire and wear energy which is generated in the tire by implementing the rolling analysis of the tire model on the basis of the simulation condition; and a wear energy calculation step for calculating the wear energy generated in the tire to which the camber angle is applied, on the basis of the correspondence and vehicle input data relating to the measured lateral force generated in a vehicle in which the tire is mounted, when the vehicle is traveled along a predetermined travel course.
