Abstract

The noise generated by the rolling tyre contributes significantly to the car's interior noise. This is caused by the tyre-road contact, and at low frequencies (0–500 Hz) is mostly transmitted inside the cockpit through the structure-borne transmission path. In support of the studies in this research field, an interpretative model of the tyre-wheel system accounting for the effects induced by the angular speed represents a useful tool. To this aim, we implemented an analytical model based on a flexible ring on an elastic foundation to analyze the dynamics of the tyre-wheel system, in both static and rotating configurations. We fine-tuned the parameters of the tyre based on data coming from experimental modal analysis of the static tyre. Particular attention has been paid to the system's free and forced responses, commonly analyzed with the so-called cleat test. The results are discussed interpreting the behavior in different reference systems.
