THE TIRE AS A VEHICLE COMPONENT
“Relevant introduction to the importance of tire properties as it relates to vehicle dynamics and performance.” David Klyde Principal Research Engineer Systems Technology, Inc.
The principal functions of the pneumatic tire are to generate driving, braking, and cornering forces while safely carrying the vehicle load and providing adequate levels of ride comfort. This seminar explains how tire forces and moments are generated under di¥erent operating and service conditions and, in turn, demonstrates how these forces and moments influence various vehicle responses such as braking, handling, ride, and high-speed performance. The content focuses on the fundamentals of tire behavior in automobiles, trucks, and farm tractors, but also includes experimental and empirical results, when necessary. The Pneumatic Tire , a 700-page E-book on CD, edited by Dr. Joseph Walter and Alan Gent is included in the course material. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Explain the force and moment generating behavior of tires as related to construction, materials, and operating conditions • Predict vehicle response based on tire characteristics using basic laws of mechanics supplemented by experimental results as necessary WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course is designed principally for technical professionals in the automobile, tire, and wheel industries and their suppliers. In addition, some case studies and examples involve truck, agriculture, and aircraft tires. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS • Longitudinal Tire Properties • Lateral Tire Properties • Combined Longitudinal and Lateral Forces • The Tire as a Spring • Tire and Wheel Non-Uniformities • Influences of Tire Properties on Vehicle Response • Future Technological Developments
