Abstract
A computational and experimental method is presented for assessing the influence of the roughness of a rigid surface on the stiffness and damping properties of automobile tires. The method is based on the solution of tire-ground contact problem using finite-element analysis. In the paper, the influence of two types of irregularities (peaks and pits), their size and shape and tire air pressure on tire enveloping properties is analyzed.
