Title:
A simulation method of a tire, a computer program for simulations of a tire, and a simulation device of a tire
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5953926
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve accuracy in simulation of a tire while easily modeling a tire.SOLUTION: A simulation device 50 for a tire creates a tire model by dividing a tire being a simulation object into a finite number of elements, sets a characteristic value of a model of a reinforcing cord that constitutes a model of a cord layer possessed by the tire model, and executes simulation through the use of the tire model on the basis of the set characteristic value. Upon setting the characteristic value, the simulation device obtains an object variable that corresponds to at least one of representative positions of the plurality of elements constituting the model of the reinforcing cord, on the basis of an approximation formula indicating the relationship between object variables corresponding to the characteristics of the reinforcing cord and positions in a tire width direction, and sets the obtained object variable as a characteristic in the representative position.
