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 different operating
and service conditions and, in turn, demonstrates how these forces
and moments infl uence 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 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
