CenTiRe Project Spotlight: Modeling Snow Attributes for Tire Performance
CenTiRe’s “Modeling Snow Attributes for Tire Performance” project created a validated computational framework to predict tire traction on compacted snow, reducing reliance on field testing. Using advanced simulation methods, the work offers insights into tread design and supports faster, more sustainable winter tire development.
CenTiRe-Funded Research Project Completed: Advancing Tire Modeling for Vehicle Performance
A recently completed CenTiRe-funded project led by Dr. Michelle Hoo Fatt at the University of Akron has advanced how tire cords are tested and modeled in computer simulations. The findings pave the way for more accurate tire vibration predictions, supporting the design of next-generation tires that enhance comfort, performance, and safety.
New CenTiRe-Funded Research to Advance Tire Testing Standards and Automation
Virginia Tech’s CenTiRe is funding new research to standardize and automate testing of a key tire vibration mode affecting ride comfort and noise. Led by Professor Rakesh Kapania, the project aims to create faster, more accurate methods and set new industry standards.
CenTiRe continues to seek and welcome new industry and government agency members to join with our existing members in its mission to conduct leading-edge, pre-competitive research. Membership is a cost-effective.…
