The accurate prediction of tire and brake thermomechanical behavior is crucial for various applications in the automotive industry, including vehicle dynamics analysis, racing performance optimization, and driver assistance system development. The temperature of the brakes plays a crucial role in determining the performance of rubber by altering its temperature. This change impacts the rim and the air within the tire, leading to variations in temperature and tire pressure, which consequently affect the vehicle’s overall performance. Traditionally, these components have been modeled separately, neglecting the crucial thermal interaction between them, thereby losing a lot of important information from the outside that influences the tire. This paper presents a novel method that overcomes this limitation by coupling the thermomechanical models of the tire and brake, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of their combined behavior. Therefore, the present work could be an interesting starting point to understand how a control system can be influenced by the thermodynamic of the wheel–brake system.
