September 28, 2017 from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Brake Friction Materials: Testing, Quality and Selection provides an introduction to brake lining raw materials and formulation, manufacturing, quality control, and testing. The course covers the critical elements that must be reviewed before arriving at a lining selection decision. Different classes of friction material and their use will be defined.
The Tire as a Vehicle Component seminar explains how tire forces and moments are generated under different 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.
September 29, 2017 from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Tire and Wheel Safety Issues covers these facets of tire safety phenomena. Engineering fundamentals are discussed and illustrated with numerous practical examples and case studies of current public interest.
