A Mathematical Model for Determining Rolling Resistance of Agricultural Tire to Control Energy Losses
Öz
One of the most important performance parameter of the towed pneumatic wheel is the
rolling resistance, which is influenced by tire design, temperature, soil conditions and etc. The
rolling resistance of tires is one of the major sources of energy losses of any moving vehicle and
accordingly vehicle fuel consumption. In this research we tried to determine the rolling resistance
of transport type agricultural tire on firm soil terrain roads. The tire was tested at different levels of
inflation pressure (34.5 to 207 kPa), normal load (0.981 to 4.905 kN) and forward speed (3 to 7
km/h). These tests were conducted on firm clay loam soil in a soil bin by means of single wheel
tester having single tire test carriage with four-bar parallel linkages. Different combination of
vertical loads, inflation pressures and forward speeds were considered to observe the respond of
rolling resistance toward these combinations. Effects of these factors on rolling resistance were
analyzed separately and also the interaction of the factors was acquired and finally a mathematical
model was developed to predict the rolling resistance of tire. The mathematical model was able to
predict the rolling resistance under this test condition in an acceptable manner and it showed that
such models would be used as useful tools for assessment of tire efficiency before choosing for any
specific use.
