Abstract The purpose of this work is to study the transient hydroplaning behavior of inflated pneumatic 195/65R15 radial tires with various tread patterns and the tires were loaded with a quarter car weight. The tires were analyzed numerically to roll over a water film with a thickness of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm on top of a flat-road pavement. Current tire structure contains the outer rubber tread and the inner advanced reinforcing composite layers. The Mooney-Rivlin constitutive law and the classical laminated theory (CLT) were used to describe the behavior of the large-deformable rubber… More >
