  • Agricultural tyre stiffness change as a function of tyre wear 
    Becker, Carl Martin; Els, Pieter Schalk (Elsevier, 2022-08)
    Vehicle designers use tyre characteristic parameters to parameterize tyre models during the design phase of a vehicle to determine the ride comfort, handling and performance. Tyre data is mostly presented only for new tyres ...
  • Effect of surface roughness on tyre characteristics 
    Becker, Carl Martin; Els, Pieter Schalk (Elsevier, 2022-08)
    Tyre characterisation is not a trivial or inexpensive exercise thus it is important to obtain representative measurements during tyre characterisation tests. Different test methods exist and vary from laboratory tests to ...
  • Motion resistance measurements on large lug tyres 
    Becker, Carl Martin; Els, Pieter Schalk (Elsevier, 2020-04)
    Motion resistance of tyres directly contribute to the operational costs of all vehicles. Advances in the design and simulation of large off-road vehicles (construction, mining, agriculture etc.) have increased the need for ...
  • Profiling of rough terrain 
    Becker, Carl Martin; Els, Pieter Schalk (Inderscience, 2014)
    This study concentrates on obtaining profiles of rough terrain suitable for vehicle dynamics simulations in a cost-effective manner. Commercially available inertial profilometers are unable to profile the terrains of ...
