Belt Dynamics, Thermal State, Tread Wear

Tread surface temperature development during and after one slip angle variation cycle

Braking hotspot in tread surface during and after single short wheel blocking event

Braking hotspots in tread surface during several consecutive short wheel blocking events

Tread surface temperature development during pressure drop at constant slip angle

Brake into pothole, 80kmh

Break flat

Blocking tire causes local wear and subsequent vibrations.

Side force loss

Heating of tread causes decreasing side force. Slip angle: +/- 15deg, vx=110kmh

Sine wave with decreasing wave length

Oblique sine wave with decreasing wave length

Loaded mode shape

Cleat drum test

Heavy curb riding
