ESDU 10015 provides a means of establishing how the decelerating
forces acting on an aircraft tyre, when rolling or braking on a dry
or precipitate contaminated runway, are determined. The Item
describes a semi-empirical model of a flexible tyre, substantiated
by test data, that considers the forces due to rolling, slipping or
skidding of the tyre, due to the tyre moving through or compressing
a contaminant and that due to the frictional interaction between
the tyre compound and the runway surface. The model is shown to be
dependent upon nice independent variables, namely surface texture
depth, contaminant depth, contaminant density, tyre inflation
pressure, nominal tyre width, nominal tyre diameter, vertical
loading on the tyre, runway surface temperature and ground speed of
the aircraft. This Item provides background information of the
model summarised in ESDU 05011.
