<strong>Using</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Soft</strong>-<strong>Soil</strong> <strong>tire</strong> <strong>model</strong><br />

Feature and property overview of <strong>the</strong> Adams/Tire <strong>Soft</strong> <strong>Soil</strong> Tire <strong>model</strong><br />

Feature and property overview of <strong>the</strong> Adams/Tire <strong>Soft</strong> <strong>Soil</strong> Tire<br />

<strong>model</strong><br />

• Two <strong>tire</strong>-road contact <strong>model</strong>s:<br />

• Elastic-plastic contact <strong>model</strong><br />

elastic <strong>tire</strong>: <strong>tire</strong> deflection is taken into account<br />

multi-pass effect: road plastic deformation history is stored and taken into account when<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>tire</strong> passes <strong>the</strong> same spot<br />

• Visco-elastic contact <strong>model</strong><br />

rigid <strong>tire</strong>: no <strong>tire</strong> deflection<br />

multi-pass effect: road viscous deformation is stored. The stored deformation reduced by <strong>the</strong><br />

relaxation effect is taken into account when ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>tire</strong> passes <strong>the</strong> same spot<br />

• Tire effective rolling radius is defined similar to pac2002 <strong>tire</strong> <strong>model</strong><br />

• Tire properties are very basic (<strong>tire</strong> vertical stiffness and damping, unloaded radius, width and<br />

effective rolling radius parameters)<br />

• The existing Adams/Tire roads can be used, just an additional section with <strong>the</strong> soil properties is<br />

required. These soil properties are valid for <strong>the</strong> whole road.<br />

<br />

• Linearization of - F x characteristic during q-statics to ensure robust q-statics<br />

• Linear vertical <strong>tire</strong> stiffness can be replaced by a (non-linear) deflection-load curve<br />

• Scaling factors of road friction, <strong>tire</strong> cornering and longitudinal stiffness' are supported<br />

• SMP (multi-thread, C++ solver) is supported<br />

• Tire-road contact is a one-point contact<br />

• Camber effects are not taken into account<br />

• Overturning moment is not calculated<br />

• No bulldozing effects<br />
