University of Akron Tire Mechanics Short Course
The Tire Society worked with the University of Akron to offer the short course the week of September 9-13, 2024, together with the Tire Society Conference, at the University of Akron’s Jean Hower Taber Student Center. It is planned to hold this course every other year, so watch this space for the 2026 announcement. This five-day short course will provide students and young engineers a jump-start into tire technology and a survey of the latest developments in tire engineering.
Tire Science & Technology Journal Highlights
Tire Science and Technology is the world’s leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to tires. The Journal publishes original contributions that address the development and application of experimental, analytical or computational science which prominently figure the tire.
Comparison of Three Rotor Designs for Rubber Mixing Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for efficient mixers with high-quality mixing capabilities in the rubber product industry, with the focus of producing fuel-efficient tires.
A Laminated Ring on Elastic Foundation Model and a Feedback Contact Algorithm for Tire-Road Contact Analysis
