The in-plane dynamics of tires deals with the forces and motion in the plane of rotation of the wheel. Three aspects of tire in-plane dynamics can be identified: the rolling contact between the tire and the road surface; the transmission of forces and motion from the contact patch to the wheel axle; and the vibration of the tire treadband. The main objective of the investigation reported in this thesis is to develop a tire model which is suitable to study all three aspects of the in-plane dynamics of tires in both low and high frequency ranges. The tire model is finally validated by experimental modal analysis of a test tire. Laboratory tests are conducted to establish the modal shapes and natural frequencies of the test tire. The tests are carried out for two different configurations of the tire: one with the wheel rim fixed in space and one with the tire-wheel system suspended freely in the air. Good agreement is found between the experimental and theoretical results.
