TIRE MODEL, METHOD OF SIMULATING BEHAVIOR OF TIRE, TIRE BEHAVIOR ANALYZING PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM IN WHICH TIRE BEHAVIOR ANALYZING PROGRAM IS RECORDED

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize calculationally occurring vibration and suppress the increase of calculation time in the analysis of a tire by a numerical analysis method such as a finite element method (FEM). PSOLUTION: This tire model for calculating on a tire while corresponding to a numerical calculation model for simulatingly analyzing the behavior of the tire in use is so divided that, when the tire is rolled, the nodal points of elements produced when the tire is divided into elements by predetermined division lines in the lateral direction of the tire are not brought into contact with a road surface simultaneously in the lateral direction of the tire.
