Damping analysis with respect to rolling speed by analytic solution of a flexible ring model and its frequency response function derivation by modal summation method

In this research, a modal approach has been adopted to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the rolling tire by a ring model. Previously, most of the researchers focused on the changes in natural frequencies with respect to the rotational speed (in global coordinate) only. In this research, the change in the damping has also been taken into account by including a damping term in the ring model equations. The bi-orthogonal property which is used to obtain the Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) of a rotor/bearing system described in Cartesian coordinate has been applied to the ring model described in cylindrical coordinate to obtain the FRFs. The obtained damping values and FRFs from the analytic model are then compared with experimental results. Moreover, the physical meanings of the results are analyzed, based on experimental data of a stationary tire and a rolling tire at 60 km/h and 100 km/h.
