  text: <jats:p>To analyze the influence of suspension kinematics on tire wear, detailed
    simulation models are required. In this study, a non-linear, flexible multibody
    model of a rear axle system is built up in the simulation software MSC Adams/View.
    The physical model comprises the suspension kinematics, compliance, and dynamics
    as well as the non-linear behavior of the tire using the FTire model. FTire is
    chosen because it has a separate tire tread model to compute the contact pressure
    and friction force distribution in the tire contact patch. To build up the simulation
    model, a large amount of data is needed. Bushings, spring, and damper characteristics
    are modeled based on measurements. For the structural components (e.g., control
    arms), reverse engineering techniques are used. The components are 3D-scanned,
    reworked, and included as a modal reduced finite element (FE)-model using component
    mode synthesis by Craig–Bampton. Finally, the suspension model is validated by
    comparing the simulated kinematic and compliance characteristics to experimental
    results. To investigate the interaction of suspension kinematics and tire wear,
    straight line driving events, such as acceleration, driving with constant velocity,
    and deceleration, are simulated with different setups of wheel suspension kinematics.
    The influence of the setups on the resulting friction work between tire and road
    is examined, and an exemplarily calculation of tire wear based on a validated
    FTire tire model is carried out. The results demonstrate, on the one hand, that
    the chosen concept of elasto-kinematic axle leads to a relatively good match with
    experimental results and, on the other hand, that there are significant possibilities
    to reduce tire wear by adjusting the suspension kinematics.</jats:p>
