A thermomechanical coupling between a hyper-viscoelastic tire and a representative pavement layer was conducted to assess the effect of various temperature profiles on the mechanical behavior of a rolling truck tire. The two deformable bodies, namely the tire and pavement layer, were subjected to steady-state-uniform and non-uniform temperature profiles to identify the significance of considering temperature as a variable in contact-stress prediction. A myriad of ambient, internal air, and pavement-surface conditions were simulated, along with combinations of applied tire load, tire-inflation pressure, and traveling speed. Analogous to winter, the low temperature profiles induced a smaller tire-pavement contact area that resulted in stress localization. On the other hand, under high temperature conditions during the summer, higher tire deformation resulted in lower contact-stress magnitudes owing to an increase in the tire-pavement contact area. In both conditions, vertical and longitudinal contact stresses are impacted, while transverse contact stresses are relatively less affected. This behavior, however, may change under a non-free-rolling condition, such as braking, accelerating, and cornering. By incorporating temperature into the tire-pavement interaction model, changes in the magnitude and distribution of the three-dimensional contact stresses were manifested. This would have a direct implication on the rolling resistance and near-surface behavior of flexible pavements.

进行超粘弹性轮胎和代表性路面层之间的热机械耦合，以评估各种温度分布对滚动卡车轮胎机械性能的影响。两个可变形体，即轮胎和路面层，经受稳态均匀和非均匀温度分布，以确定将温度作为接触应力预测变量的重要性。模拟了无数环境、内部空气和路面条件，以及施加的轮胎载荷、轮胎充气压力和行驶速度的组合。与冬季类似，低温剖面会导致轮胎与路面的接触面积变小，从而导致应力局部化。另一方面，在夏季高温条件下，由于轮胎与路面接触面积的增加，较高的轮胎变形导致较低的接触应力幅度。在这两种情况下，垂直和纵向接触应力都会受到影响，而横向接触应力的影响相对较小。但是，这种行为可能会在非自由滚动条件下发生变化，例如制动、加速和转弯。通过将温度纳入轮胎-路面相互作用模型，三维接触应力的大小和分布的变化得到体现。这将对柔性路面的滚动阻力和近表面行为产生直接影响。而横向接触应力的影响相对较小。但是，这种行为可能会在非自由滚动条件下发生变化，例如制动、加速和转弯。通过将温度纳入轮胎-路面相互作用模型，三维接触应力的大小和分布的变化得到体现。这将对柔性路面的滚动阻力和近表面行为产生直接影响。而横向接触应力的影响相对较小。然而，这种行为可能会在非自由滚动条件下发生变化，例如制动、加速和转弯。通过将温度纳入轮胎-路面相互作用模型，三维接触应力的大小和分布的变化得到体现。这将对柔性路面的滚动阻力和近表面行为产生直接影响。
