A numerical procedure to determine the temperature rise in aircraft tires under free rolling conditions is presented in this article. Energy dissipation from cyclic inelastic deformation is considered the main heat generation source. This modeling considers the deformation process of the tire to be a steady-state problem, where all concurrent cycles are assumed to be the same as the first. The inelastic energy is determined by imposing a phase lag between the strain and the stress fields. The phase lag is assumed to be frequency independent in the range of interest, in keeping with the experimental observations in aircraft tire materials. It is further assumed that the inelastic energy is completely converted into volumetric heat input for a transient thermal conduction analysis. A conduction model is described and results are compared against thermocouple data recorded by Clark and Dodge [1].
