Experimental and Numerical Studies on Tire Tread Block Friction Characteristics Based on a New Test Device

A new device was developed for tire tread block slip friction tests. Then the friction characteristics were investigated under different loads and contact roads. Based on this, a friction model for contact between tire tread block and different road surfaces was developed. A finite element slip fric...
