Deformation of rolling tyre<br />

(ii) The static loaded radius is the loaded radius of a stationary tyre<br />

inflated to the normal recommended pressure.<br />

(iii) The effective rolling radius, R e , is the ratio of the linear velocity of the<br />

wheel centre in the X SAE direction to the angular velocity of the wheel.<br />

A more detailed treatment of effective rolling radius is provided by Phillips<br />

(2000) based on the representation given in Figure 5.5 which allows the<br />

effective rolling radius to be related to the unloaded radius and tyre deflection.<br />

For the tyre shown in Figure 5.5, the wheel axle is considered fixed and the<br />

road moving such that the relative forward velocity of the wheel is V. If a
