METHOD FOR OBTAINING THE DEFORMATION OF A TYRE UNDER LOAD DURING RUNNING

A method for obtaining the deformation of a tire casing subjected to a load, rotating at a rotational speed W, comprises the following steps: acquiring a signal comprising the amplitude of the acceleration in the direction normal to the crown when running at the rotational speed W; delimiting the signal over a number of wheel revolutions, so as to construct a wheel revolution signal; determining a reference acceleration; defining a first energy density S which is a function of the wheel revolution signal, and of the reference acceleration, and which is denoted S+ when the wheel revolution signal is above a threshold value A, or is denoted S− when the wheel revolution signal is below or equal to said threshold value A; and identifying the deformation generated by the load as a function of the reference acceleration and of the first energy density S.
