Just to extend a little bit from the end of the video: Since the resultant normal force is non-uniform and lean towards the front edge of the contact patch, it does not pass through the center of the tire and create a moment that resists its rotation.

@@halfmv2 I tend to believe that energy lost due to intermolecular friction, i.e hysteresis energy loss, and energy lost due to negative torque are two different matters, although they both are the consequences of hysteresis effect. From an energy perspective and consider a rubber element approaching and departing the contact patch. Even without considering losses due to molecular friction, the element already need to spend more energy when approaching to overcome higher pressure and receive less energy when departing since experiencing lower pressure. If indeed two separate losses, it might be possible that hysteresis energy loss in most cases dwarf the lost due to negative torque. But I mean, I am not sure either...lol

I know the term from SpeedFan, where you set temperature thresholds for your computer fans to activate, and hysteresis is how much the temperature can drop back down before the fans will deactivate again.
These explanations are fascinating. Very simple, straight forward and well illustrated. The way is explained reveals a lot of links between different fields of knowledge. Very well explained.
I was tired of my tires wearing out so quickly, so I decided to make a set out of tungsten carbide. Rolling resistance and hysteresis were dramatically reduced. I expect wear to increase by several orders of magnitude. I'm still working on traction, road holding ability, etc.

No. It is to guide it on rails and increase the load bearing capacity, as the load is transmitted to the road along steel beams and wooden or concrete posts with a large area for rails and just four patches for tyres. Those are just two reason on top of my head, I'm sure there's more.

Roberto I’m sure it is a contributing factor as to why both are steal, being both are steal there barely deform to eachother upon contact and movement. That also means that they wouldn’t wear as quickly as tires would on a road. When rails were introduced, vehicles that could transport that much material so easily were few to none, so having such an efficient mode of transport was necessary.

4:47 yup, that resultant force acts away from the center of the wheel. Causing a moment/torque opposite to the direction of the wheel's rotation. Also, the heavier the vehicle, the higher this resultant force hence higher rolling resistance. Also, at a higher velocity, the tires actually expand outward which reduces the rolling resistance. This is one reasons why a vehicle operating at highway speed is more efficient than in cities.

These automotive engineering videos are great. I learned a long time ago to overinflate new tires 5 psi above spec then bleed the air out until it's at spec vs inflate to spec and let it lose a few psi on its own. They all do.

Thanks a lot. I always wanted to know why is there rolling friction but never got to know until I watched this video.
When practical, I usually run my tires at maximum pressure. Less deformation creates a smaller patch area, which produces a rougher ride, but reduces rolling resistance so slightly improves fuel economy.

Excellent and informative explanation !

The hysteresis should largely be due to the fact that the compression and decompression are not instantaneous, and so the heat generated by compression is partially lost so that the system has less energy to 'decompress' the rubber by the time its no longer being compressed.
I had an intuition why this happened, but now I know it scientifically. Thanks.
Wow.... clearly explained !!

What about: Coefficient of Deceleration due to other factors? Such as 1: Chemical properties of the materials used. 2: Road and or friction surfaces in contact 3: Amount of force exerted at what RPM? 4: At the time of the specific interval of experiment, how much acceleration was active or zero acceleration, obviously that resulted in deceleration after and or due certain conditions. 5: wind factor. 6: Quality of the interactive surfaces 7: E.g. if braking is applied considering anti-lock braking, vehicle or tires will sink more and increase the friction contact area. 8: values may differ for every vehicle considering, type, make, class, horsepower, automated tech, etc. So for every given scenario General equation must include scenarios specific factorial equations to calculate accurate and precise values, for example as in ballistics calculations.
Hello, thanks for the great video! I have a question. In the rubber cylinder example, it is a solid piece of rubber, but in the tyre, it is filled with compressed gas. Doesent this drastically reduces the hysteresis effect on a rolling tyre?
A good little doco. Thank you.
Wow.. what a clear concept.. thanku sir

In the virtual experiment environment I guess they added some Force opposing the normal, then the simulation only focuses on energy lost by expansion delay. If ground friction was considered, the tire would roll even less

This is the "friction" that makes the car slow down. The only contributes of energy loss that have to be added to this effect are the aerodynamic friction and the friction between the components of the car's trasmissions, and possibly the ground slope.

@@halfmv2 Shouldn't we have a contact 'line' to have zero velocity at the bottom of the wheel? If it is a rubber wheel, the contact area would be a surface rather than a line; therefore the bottom of the wheel should have a velocity relative to the ground. If you move a line on the wheel, you can see that there is a distance that must be traveled between where it touches the ground and leaves the ground, so technically there is a rubbing of surfaces. However, the direction of the kinetic friction would change depending on whether you are speeding up or slowing down. If you accelerate a vehicle, the kinetic friction is the force that makes you accelerate; therefore, in this case, the only force against movement would be hysteresis energy loss while accelerating. But if you are slowing down, the kinetic friction would also contribute to the opposing forces.

@@halfmv2 I thought a bit more about my first question, and I came to the conclusion that there is no need for a contact 'line' to have zero velocity relative to the ground. We can have a static connection between the ground and the wheel even if there is contact 'surface'. I think what I previously thought is true if there is slippage and a car is accelerating or the driver is pressing the brakes. However, If there is no slippage, the tire loses energy only from the hysteresis energy loss besides the air resistance, as you said.

How would you lower the rolling resistance of a tire made of an elastic material(rubber, polyurethane, or whatever)? I heard adding Silica to rubber decreases the rolling resistance.

there are patterns used in the weave of the belt plies and radial weave that decrease roll resistance but make the tyre directional. Materials used in the belts, walls and radial banding also vary to reduce roll resistance. Reducing the tyres weight and moving the weight balance closer to the center of there rotaional axis also reduce roll resistance losses due to centrifugal loss. Stiffening the side wall without reducing. reducing surface contact patch pinching and spreading by changing tread patterns and varying tread densities across the contact patch. They will also have there own 11 herbs and spices they use for the rubber. they may add sillica (glass) , plastic, PTFE, kevlar and many other ingrediants to reduce internal frictions and increase traction. For instance silica will make the compound harder wearing and stiffer but will also make the tyre more thermally conductive and introduce more road noise transmission. as such it may make a good addition to the primary tread sections but will be a poor choice for the side wall.
actually learned something new for once, pleasantly surprised
How did you guys animate the tire deformation? It looks really good!

Is there a material with reverse hysteresis, meaning decompression is faster than the compression? If so, how would it affect rolling resistance if applied on wheels?

So would adding more air to a tire in theory limit hystoresis cycles which would reduce loss of energy because the tire is maintaining its original shape pre and post the deformation zone?
Thanks!
Isn't the hysteresis heavily frequency dependent? So if you were to do this by hand, even for a rubber with maximum hysteresis potential based on temperature and elastic modulus, if you apply the cyclic load-unload slowly enough, there will be no hysteresis observed?
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
so does this mean a stiffer tire have will lower rolling resistance ? some thing like carbon fiber tire ?
very clear explanation
Awesome video..please make more videos on vehicle dynamics
amazing explanation
If you did two experiments and in the first you took 1 second to apply the 50N of force to the rubber tube, and in the second you took 1000 seconds to apply the same 50N of force, would the expansion rate of the rubber be the same for both, or would the speed of the expansion differ between the two experiments?
Awsome!!
Is this effect slow down the cars and effect the milage it may help braking
Awesome 👌
is it correct the more elasticity the material is the lower rolling resistance?
So if we had purely rolling resistance, and no frictional resistance or any other type of resistance, it would stop or the tire would stop due to this phenomenon ?? is this right?
A great explanation of how the hysteresis of rubber creates a rolling resistance. But what about the relatively large contact patch area? Since the front and back of the patch are a different distance from the axis than the middle, there must be some tangential flexing of the rubber or slippage along the road surface? How does this come into things?
