Thermal Loading of All-Steel Tires for Trucks during Winter-time Operation

Abstract
The article presents a mathematical tire model based on the SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)-method of particle dynamics for thermal tension of tires satisfying the research purpose when driving in winter. The results of experimental study of truck tires thermal loading when driving on asphalt surface are also presented, using methods of discrete and remote control of the temperature regime of tires. The results obtained make it possible to identify heating features of individual elements of all-steel tire with a dimension of 315/70 R 22.5, depending on the duration of moving. Based on the analysis of the results, practical recommendations for assessing thermal loading of all-steel tires using TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) have been proposed.
