Prediction of Spindle Force Using Measured Road Forces on Rolling Tire 2009-01-2107

Improvement of vehicle interior noise is desired in recent years in the modern world of the demand of low weight, good fuel economy and offering technical advantages strongly. The dynamic force transmission of rolling tires from the road surface to the spindles is a critical factor in vehicle interior noise. We focus on structure-borne noise transferred through the spindle. It is necessary for effort of the effective tire/road noise reduction to predict spindle force excited by tire/road contact. The major issues in predicting spindle forces are to clarify the distribution of road forces and how to input on the simulation model. Therefore, it is important that road forces are measured accurately on the rolling tire.

First, the dynamic road forces on the rolling tire are measured by using the tri-axial force sensor directly. In efforts to reduce interior noise due to structure-borne noise, it is necessary to predict spindle forces excited by the tire/road contact. Second, the spindle forces during the operation are predicted by using the FE tire model and the distribution of the dynamic road forces which are measured experimentally. Our suggested method is applicable for predicting spindle force because analytical results of spindle force are close to experimental results.
