A numerical tool is developed for determining the pressure distribution at the tire-wheel interface of an aircraft wheel from experimentally obtained strains. The methodology employs an axisymmetric finite element model which is subjected to asymmetric loading. The loading is represented as a double Fourier series, and the components are determined by a least squares fit using the experimentally determined strains. A finite element code was developed to perform this analysis. Sample experiments are presented to illustrate the validity and the robustness of the algorithm. Finally, the limitations of this type of analysis are discused and future directions are indicated.
