Improving Mechanical Grip of Tyres on Snow and Icy Road Surfaces using Finite Element Method
Ludvigsen, Sondre; Khawaja, Hassan Abbas (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016)Harsh winter conditions are known to be one of the most challenging environments for driving. Although the number of fatal accidents is higher during the summer compared to the winter in Norway (according to Norwegian Highways Authority), the total number of accidents is higher in the winter season. These accidents mainly happen due to loss traction on snowy or icy road surfaces. The loss of traction ... -
Improving mechanical grip on winter tires. Finite element analysis on pressure profile of airless tire compared to conventional tire using ANSYS workbench
Ludvigsen, Sondre (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-22)The harsh climate of the arctic has always been one of the most difficult areas to drive cars in. The severe loss in traction due to snow and icing on the roads, has led to an increased risk of collisions. The winter tires for cars has developed through the years after their introduction in the 1930’s. There have been three revolutionary changes made since then; implement of studs, changing in tread ...
