Abstract:

In rainy weather, tires are in a partially water-slide condition, and the traction capacity is drastically reduced, which becomes the main cause of traffic accidents. Improving the hydroplaning performance of tires has become an important direction for tire research. The 205/55 R16 passenger car tire is used as the research carrier to create a complex tread pattern tire hydroplaning fluid domain model. The structural parameters of tire tread patterns were selected as design variables, and the minimum hydrodynamic lift was taken as the optimization objective. The response surface method (RSM) was used to optimize the structural parameters of complex tread patterns and its optimization mechanism was analyzed. The results show that the optimized complex tread pattern tires can effectively reduce the peak dynamic water pressure and average dynamic water pressure, improve the drainage capacity of tread grooves, reduce the dynamic water lift and achieve the purpose of improving the hydroplaning performance under the free rolling condition, side deflection condition and side tilt condition.
