碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 材料與製造工程所 === 95 === In this paper, we use both the geometry and mechanics to investigate the influence of the tire specifications on the driving performance. We focus on some specified tire specifications (tire width, height/width ratio, and tire inside diameter), to investigate the reduction of the tire height (deformation) and the variation of the contact area of the tire and the ground, under some specified tire width and inside diameter of the tire, and under certain tire loads and tire pressures, study the influence on the rolling resistance, the wheel speed, and the reading of the speed meter, then evaluate the effects on the power consumption, the acceleration, and the driven force of the tire.
