Abstract The thermomechanical analysis of a pneumatic tire is a highly complex process due to the effects of temperature on both the mechanical state and the viscoelastic energy dissipation in the tire. This coupled thermomechanical behavior typically requires that rolling tire temperatures be determined iteratively. As a result, a steady‐state analysis involves updating the temperature dependent elastic and viscoelastic properties as the solution proceeds. The process is further complicated in a non‐steady‐state analysis where material properties need to be updated at multiple intervals in time. A simplified method is proposed. First, the sensitivity of the tire elastic response of the tire to changes in material stiffness is characterized using the “deformation index”. Then, using a commercial finite element program and an appropriate user subroutine, heat generation is expressed as a function of the local temperature using a simple algebraic expression involving the temperature dependent material prope...
