TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Identification of the mechanical properties of bicycle tyres for modelling of bicycle dynamics JO - Vehicle system dynamics A1 - Doria, Alberto A1 - Tognazzo, Mauro A1 - Cusimano, Gianmaria A1 - Bulsink, Vera A1 - Cooke, Adrian A1 - Koopman, Bart SP - 405 EP - 420 VL - 51 IS - 3 N2 - Advanced simulation of the stability and handling properties of bicycles requires detailed roadtyre contact models. In order to develop these models, in this study, four bicycle tyres are tested by means of a rotating disc machine with the aim of measuring the components of tyre forces and torques that influence the safety and handling of bicycles. The effect of inflation pressure and tyre load is analysed. The measured properties of bicycle tyres are compared with those of motorcycle tyres.
