The application of finite element analysis (FEA) to the design of radial aircraft tyres is shown to be an effective and efficient tool which can be used for conducting tyre and tyre wheel design studies. This paper describes the specific conditions under which FEA is applied by Michelin to the radial aircraft tyre, and presents an example of its application to the analysis of the tyre and wheel rim contact pressures. Model definition, calculated tyre displacement and rim contact pressure distributions are included. Validation of the FEA prediction against experimental results is demonstrated for a main landing gear tyre.
