Rolling Towards Results

The TIRE-DYN IAPP project consortium is organizing its first public workshop on September 22nd, 2011 in Leuven, Belgium. The workshop will discuss and analyse the results from the first series of project results.

The increasing complexity and shorter development times of vehicles calls for a more accurate and efficient simulation tools. Already in the early phases of the vehicle's development cycle, a reliable simulation of dynamic behaviour of its tires are required. This is necessary to assess and optimise vehicle performance in terms of tire/road noise, handling, ride comfort, vehicle NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) as well as durability. In addition, the dynamic behavior of tires play a key role in several new automotive technologies, this includes, intelligent driver assistance systems, active suspension, in-wheel electric drive and intelligent tires Tire-Dyn, an "Experimental and Numerical Analyses of Dynamic Behavior of Rolling Tires in order to Improve Tire Modeling Accuracy" have yielded their first crop of results and will be hosting a workshop in Belgium in September to present the progress so far. The workshop will be held at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the K.U.Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 300B, 3001 Heverlee, Belgium.
