Chapter 57: Tire Performance Simulation

This example problem simulates radial tire operation under various operating conditions. Tire simulation using finite element analysis is an established and efficient method for determining and improving tire performance.

Tires are complex composite structures comprised of hyperelastic materials (such as rubber) and reinforced structural materials (such as steel cords, modeled as linear elastic materials).

The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
