ABSTRACT
The present paper focuses on an elastic properties analysis of new and depreciated tires. The research was carried out using two different methods, field and numerical, respectively. The purpose of the study is to check whether there is a change in the elastic properties of the tire during its depreciation and to what extent these processes affect the comfort of driving and riding. The experimental tests were conducted on a hydraulic test stand and by applying strength and deformation analysis the effect of its structure deformation was additionally considered. The investigation performed on a vehicle-based tire test stand to find out stress-strain and tire deformation was with different vertical loading according to FEM. The numerical solution was reached by implementing SolidWorks - Simulation and Abaqus. The obtained results are graphically compared, and the average value of the elastic constant for a new and depreciated tire has been determined.
