Summary

On gravel roads, tires are not in direct contact with the surface. Particles of e.g. sand or stone contact directly with the tire and cause the tire to wear. During the sliding process, an interaction between particles and the tire occurs. On simplified conditions investigation of the movement of particles, friction and wear of a tire tread sample are done experimentally for different settings. Additionally, a finite element simulation is built up to simulate the wear of the tire tread sample under varying conditions. In this paper results from the experimental and numerical investigation of the wear of the tire tread sample are shown.
