A theoretical model has been studied to describe the sound radiation analysis for structure vibration noise of tire under the action of random moving line forces. When a tire is analyzed, it had been modeled as curved beams with distributed springs and dashpots that represent the radial, tangential stiffness and damping of tire, respectively. The reaction due to fluid loading on the vibratory response of the curved beam is taken into account. The curved beam is assumed to occupy the plane y=0 and to be axially infinite. The curved beam material and elastic foundation are assumed to be lossless Bernoulli-Euler beam theory including a tension force(T), damping coefficient (C) and stiffness of foundation(κ2) will be employed. The expression for sound power is integrated numerically and the results examined as a function of Mach number(M), wave-number ratio(γ) and stiffness factor(ψ). The experimental investigation for structure vibration noise of vehicle tire under the action of random moving line forces has been made. Based on the STSF(Spatial Transformation of Sound Field) techniques, the sound power and sound radiation are measured. Results strongly suggest that operation condition in the tire material properties and design factors of the tire govern the sound power and sound radiation characteristics.

As a surface treatment method of concrete pavement in Korea, transverse tinning has initially been applied to improve drainage and friction at first. Since 2003, in order to reduce the noise of concrete pavement, longitudinal tinning have been studied and proved its superiority. Therefore, Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) has applied this as surface texturing method in concrete pavement from 2008 to the present. However, the lateral vibration during vehicle running has been continuously raised in the longitudinal tinning section, and lots of efforts have been made to solve this problem. Nonetheless, complaints still occur intermittently in some sections. In this research, three sections in which complaints occur and three test sections were chosen to evaluate characteristics of lateral vibration between tire and longitudinal texturing. Based on the literature survey on the correlation between longitudinal texturing and tire, evaluation of the site and FEM analysis of each road surface were carried out. As a result of the analysis, the lateral vibration occurred most frequently in the random tinning section compared to other sections, and it was relatively few at the other improved tinning of the test section. Further studies on various tire types and timing intervals in the future will provide a standard of longitudinal texturing, which will reduce lateral vibration.

The tires changes characteristics of the element constituting change. Stiffness is one of the various characteristics of the tire. Stiffness of the tire is change contact contour. it is known to affect vibration and noise of the vehicle. In this study we conduct to find influence of change stiffness of the tire due to vibration characteristics inside passenger car. For this study we choose tires of available on the market and measure vertical spring rate and lateral spring rate. Also through the real passenger car we find vibration characteristics in the inside of car. In conclusion, vibration energy is reducing with increase in the stiffness and we find the high vibration level of low frequency band in passenger car due to decreasing stiffness.

The present authors recently gave an analytical method for estimating three spring constants Kr, Ks, and Kt, for sidewall stiffnesses of radial tires. These represent the radial, lateral, and in-plane rotational directions respectively. The method is based on netting theory with special consideration to stiffness of the rubber matrices in the sidewall These theoretical results were verified by experiment to have sufficient accuracy. In order to confirm the availability of these spring constants, the twisting stiffness Rt of a radial tire has been analyzed in the present paper by using a spring-supported ring model. An explicit formula for Rt, expressed in terms of the three components of the spring constant, was obtained. Experiments were conducted on a 175SR14 radial tire by increasing the inflation pressure while keeping the tread circumference constant. The theoretical results agreed well with the experimental results. A related problem is also referred to; this is the forced lateral vibration with fundamental eigen-modes of the inflated sidewall-rim system when the tread is fixed. Eigen-frequencies calculated by using those spring constants coincide well with the experimental results.
