Estimating the term…
A tire uniformity testing apparatus (1) measures uniformity of a tire (T) by measuring a load generated on the tire (T) pressed against a rotating rotary drum (2). A load model used to control a pressing position of the rotary drum (2) and express a relation between the pressing position of the tire (T) against the rotary drum (2) and a tire load generated in the tire (T) is configured to successively measure the tire load, while changing the pressing position of the tire (T) against the rotary drum (2), and to estimate the tire load using the measured value of the measured tire load.
A method for estimating a load model in a tire uniformity testing apparatus which measures uniformity of the tire by measuring a load generated on the tire pressed against the rotating rotary drum, the method beings used to control a pressing position of a rotary drum and to estimate a load model which expresses a relation between the pressing position of a tire with respect to the rotary drum and a tire load generated on the tire and comprising:
