We were studied tire and pavement interactions using finite element method. Several researchers’ studies have focused on prediction to fully understand of tire-pavement contacts which has implication on flexible pavement damage predictions and life cycle assessments. The primary purpose of this study was to analyze and fully understand the interactions between deformable pavement and tires using the validated finite element model. A full tire-pavement interaction model was developed where flexible pavement was subdued to a monotonic and cyclic behavior of tire loading, 40 kN in measure dual-tires, and proper tire pressure, 700 kPa. A rolling resistance free body investigation was also executed using a finite element model to understand fully the interaction between tire and flexible pavement. A vehicle contact speed, 95 km/h, was applied where load was withdrawn for 1 s during cyclic time. Axisymmetric and tire-pavement interactions were developed using a 3D finite element model. We revolved the axisymmetric analysis in Abaqus with respect to the tire axis on the vehicle so that the 3D tire model could be generated, then a contact load was placed to model. The total cyclic time was 10 s with a loading of 0.1 s and 0.9 s of resting. The contact area and deflection of thin and thick flexible pavements were also developed. Finally, results’ analyses were compared to fully understand the modeling and its consequences on pavements.
