Title: TIRE HYDROPLANING AND ITS EFFECTS ON TIRE TRACTION
Accession Number: 00206746
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THIS PAPER FIRST DISCUSSES THE BUILDUP OF FLUID PRESSURES IN THE TIRE-GROUND FOOT-PRINT REGION OF WET PAVEMENT THAT CAN LEAD TO THREE DISTINCT TYPES OF TRACTION LOSS; NAMELY, DYNAMIC HYDROPLANING, VISCOUS HYDROPLANING OR THIN-FILM LUBRICATION, AND THE REVERTED RUBBER SKID. THE PAPER THEN DISCUSSES HOW PAVEMENT SURFACE TEXTURE, PAVEMENT WATER DEPTH, TIRE TREAD DESIGN, VERTICAL LOAD, AND TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE AFFECT FLUID PRESSURE BUILDUP IN THE FOOTPRINT. FINALLY, TWO PROMISING METHODS FOR ALLEVIATING FLUID PRESSURE BUILDUP ARE DISCUSSED. THESE METHODS ARE PAVEMENT GROOVING AND AIR JETS PLACED IN FRONT OF TIRES. /AUTHOR/
