Modeling of Tire Vertical Behavior Using a Test Bench

Tire models are of great importance for precise investigations of vertical vehicle dynamics, including vehicular safety and riding comfort. An adequate modeling of the tire is crucial to properly reproduce vehicle vertical behavior in simulations and to evaluate the influence of the tire in the over...
