Dynamics of Wheeled Vehicles. Report 1. A Mathematical Model for the Traversal of Rigid Obstacles by a Pneumatic Tire. Appendix B: Digital Implementation of Segmented Tire Model

Abstract

This appendix presents the procedures for digital implementation of the segmented tire model, developed in the basic report for an analog computer. Two procedures are required: (a) determination of the segment spring coefficient from measured load-deflection test results, and (b) computation of the resultant force vector transmitted to the axle. Digital programs for both procedures were written in Fortran IV for a GE-420 system, and are included.
