Synopsis
The workshop will cover the fundamentals of tyre simulation with a focus on motorsport and performance applications. First, a brief account of tyre load prediction will be provided using the mathematical brush model as the underpinning modelling concept.
The workshop will then focus on two intertwined areas of paramount importance in performance vehicle engineering: tyre thermal modelling and road/rubber friction.
The course will offer practical modelling insights stemming from 20 years of academic research and experience working on motorsport and OEM tyre modelling projects. Topics rarely covered in textbooks, such as the required fidelity level depending on the application, practical ways to deal with the complex nature of friction, some recent machine-learning successes and the broader role of road roughness on tyre force generation will be covered.
The workshop will close with observations and advice on tyre testing, parameter identification and the application of the Magic Formula model.
