The model was formu lated to study its bounce and pitch
mode dynamics under excitations arising fro m measured road
surfaces, while the contributions due to roll dynamics are
considered negligible [27]. Vehicle dynamics is assumed to be
independent from pavement deflection, as the magnitude of
deformation in the pavement (in the order of 0.1 mm) is
significantly smaller than those deformations observed for the
vehicle tires and components [8].
The vehicle is idealized as a set of rigid bodies coupled by
massless flexible elements [28][29]. Tires are represented by
linear stiffness and damping. Fig. 4 illustrates the in-plane
lu mped parameter model of the vehicle employed to analyze
the response of the FEM pavement proposed to tire loads. The
vehicle has six degrees of freedom, associated with the bounce
motion of the steering axle z F ; bounce and pitch oscillations
of the sprung mass ( z s and s , respectively); bounce motion
of the front axle of the tandem-group zT , F ; bounce motion of

Equations (7) and (8) are valid for 12% < VMA < 30%;
and Eb > 5 MPa. t in the model is calculated on the basis of a
constant tire-print length of 300 mm.
IV. VEHICLE MODEL
The forces to be exerted on the pavement model are
obtained from simulations of the dynamic response of a vehicle
to the pavement profile.

dt in (11) and (12) represents the time step for the simulations ,
which is as little as necessary to secure the convergence of the
Taylor expansion of that equation.
Pavement profile input was discretized in constant elevation
segments.
A Computational algorithms
Fig. 5 illustrates the computational scheme to calculate the
pavement response as a function of pavement and vehicle
properties and conditions of operation. It contains three
modules that are sequentially executed: Vehicle > Pavement >
Dynamic response. The vehicle module yields tire forces due
to every vehicle axle, while the pavement module calculates
the transition and particular response matrices, as a function of
vehicle speed and pavement temperature and void content. The
dynamic response module calculates the pavement response to
vehicle tire loads for the pavement length considered.
B Tire forces on the pavement
During the calculation process, the time step dt necessary
for the convergence of the Taylor Series (11) (0.001 s), imp lied
that the vehicle did not travel the distance between two
consecutive beam nodes of the pavement model (0. 5 m apart).
Consequently, at any time the resulting tire forces were
between nodes, and it was necessary to weight the tire forces
on consecutive nodes, as shown in Fig. 6.
