Static and dynamic finite element analysis of pneumatic tyres including anisotropic and nonlinear effects

This thesis introduces a versatile finite element package, which is tailored for the static and dynamic analysis of radial tyres. A new axisymmetric solid-of-revolution element which takes into consideration, large deformation, the influence of composite orthotropic material and the viscoelasticity...
