Real time processing of road loads for intelligent tire applications

Tire finite element models execute too slowly for direct use in real time intelligent tire applications, but the Endurica Efficient Interpolation Engine (EIE) offers a solution. This benchmark study of the EIE solver shows how road load inputs (including tire load, speed and slip angle) can be converted into stress-strain history at critical tire locations, and processed in real time to track damage development during tire operation. The technology is ideal for the analysis of track events during tire development, and for large scale processing of fleet data during tire operations.
