Energy dissipated in the contact patch of a rolling tire is related to material abrasion and tire wear. In this study, we calculate the shear energy intensity as the product of the sliding distance and the shear stresses as measured in the tread block sliding deformations and normal load distribution at contact patch for a collection of low profile tires. The objective of the study is to develop a procedure to find pressure distribution in contact patch, tread displacement during rolling and shear energy intensity on low profile tire footprint. Studying shear energy intensity in contact patch of rolling tire will help in better understanding of tire wear.Shear energy is product of shear stresses and displacement. A new experimental optical method based on Total Internal Reflection was developed to get displacements in a contact patch of a tire. Another new experimental optical method based on Frustrated Total Internal Reflection was developed to get normal stresses in a contact patch of a tire. Load distribution across contact patch of rolling tires was successfully obtained at much lower cost compared to other methods Shear energy intensity distribution across tire contact patch was obtained from these measurements and a coefficient of friction relation.
