TIRE AND WHEEL SAFETY ISSUES
“It has a great technical content as well as a very interesting historical background.”
One of the most important safety critical components on cars, trucks, and aircraft is the pneumatic tire. Vehicle tires primarily control stopping distances on wet and dry roads or runways and strongly influence over-steer/under-steer behavior in handling maneuvers of cars and trucks. The inflated tire-wheel assembly also acts as a pressure vessel that releases a large amount of energy when catastrophically deflated. The tire can also serve as a fulcrum, both directly and indirectly, in contributing to vehicle rollover. This seminar covers these facets of tire safety phenomena. Engineering fundamentals are discussed and illustrated with numerous practical examples and case studies of current public interest. 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: • Describe the most important performance parameters and operating conditions of pneumatic tires related to safety • Use fundamental equations of engineering science to predict and/or explain tire-vehicle interactions related to safety 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 • Vehicle accident statistics • Role of the tire in accident prevention/causation • Construction features • Failure Modes • Tire Grip and Related Phenomena • Brake Performance • The Tire as a Pressure Vessel
