MEGR 8135 - Advanced Tire Mechanics

In-depth analysis of the tire and its influence on vehicle performance, including: design, materials, construction, structural response, rolling resistance, force and moment generation, NVH, wet and dry traction, wear, high speed limit, and standards. Tire models, their limitations, and their governing equations. Graduate students develop an experiment (in addition to a literature review), gather data, submit an abstract to the Fall Tire Society Conference, and write a rough draft of a paper.
