* ROLLING RESISTANCE IMPLEMENTATION IN R117 * ROLLING RESISTANCE IMPLEMENTATION IN R117 Amendment of Rolling Resistance in R117 Tyre Rolling Resistance Rolling Resistance measuring methods Calibration of RR Machines Informal Document No. GRRF-66-28 66th GRRF 15-17 September 2009 Agenda Item 9(f) Tyre Rolling Resistance Elastic material Viscoelastic material Viscous material NO DISSIPATION FULL DISSIPATION Rubber compounds are visco-elastic materials. Each time they are deformed they dissipate energy: RR is a force acting opposite to the travel direction if a tyre is rolling. Due to the vehicle load, the tyre is deformed in the contact area with the road surface. Pneumatic tyres as we know them today need the rubber materials and deformation to generate the required grip between vehicle and road surface, to give vehicle comfort and generate low rolling noise. The following alternative measurement techniques for data acquisition are given in International Standards. The choice of an individual technique is left to the tester. The same phenomenon is measured, at different points of the testing machine. Force technique: the reaction force measured at the tire spindle. Torque technique: the torque input measured at the test drum. Power technique: the power input measurement to the test drum. Deceleration technique: the measurement of deceleration of the test drum and tire assembly. Rolling Resistance measuring method Power wtire wdrum For each technique, the test measurements are converted to a force acting at the tire/drum interface, which is the blue arrow, always EQUIVALENT. NB : The expression measuring method in the standard may be misleading. ISO 28580 describes a single measurement method, with 4 variants for measurement technique for data acquisition. Round Robin Test procedure done byETRTO members: Choice of 14 selected tyre types. For each tyre type, selection of tyres of the same batch with very close RR values. Dispatch of one tyre to each ofth
