Thermo-mechanical-abrasive coupling analysis of solid rubber tire under high-speed rolling

High friction and large deformation under high-speed sideslip landing conditions cause rapid heating and severe abrasion of aircraft tire, which seriously threatens landing safety. Therefore, theories of energy dissipation and transient heat transfer are discussed. A thermo-mechanical-abrasive (TMA) coupling analysis method is proposed for solving the thermomechanical problem. Laws of temperature and abrasion under different slip angles are revealed experimentally. Results show that sideslip conditions lead to increase of friction energy dissipation and wear as well as an asymmetric distribution of temperature field; Considering abrasion can effectively improve prediction accuracy of thermomechanical analysis (an increase of 27.65%), the predicted temperature and abrasion profile are in good agreement with the experiment data. • The theories of heat sources and transient heat transfer were discussed in detail. • The thermo-mechanical-abrasive coupling analysis method was proposed, and sideslip rolling was simulated by FEM. • Influence of slip angle on thermomechanical properties of rubber wheel were analyzed, such as temperature, etc.
