Non-Linear Static Analysis of Aircraft Tire Subjected to Inflation Pressure and Ground Contact Loads Using Finite Element Analysis.

Abstract

The pneumatic tire has been an integral part of transportation almost since its inception, yet it remains a product whose characteristics are not easily predictable or comprehensible by conventional engineering techniques. This thesis is an attempt to provide a numerical model for predicting the ground contact pressure pattern between an aircraft tire and road under static condition.
