will be held concurrently with tire technology <strong>Expo</strong> 2012 in cologne,<br />
germany, 13/14/15/16 february 2012<br />
This four-day course will provide engineers and scientists with an in-depth, intense study of the latest developments<br />
surrounding tire engineering. The course is designed for practising engineers, chemists and scientists who are<br />
concerned with tires and vehicles, and who have an engineering or science background at the Bachelor of Science<br />
level. The basic aspects of the mechanics of pneumatic tires will be introduced by internationally renowned experts<br />
in tire mechanics. Over 1,000 pages of course notes on CDs prepared by the instructors will be provided for all<br />
participants. Those who complete this course will receive a certificate from The University of Akron.<br />

The performance requirements for engineered rubber products such as tires have continuously increased over the<br />
last few decades and are set to continue to increase. The conflicting demands of weight reduction and reduced<br />
rolling resistance, coupled with increases in abrasion resistance and wet and dry friction performance, make the<br />
tire designer’s life difficult. All rubber components have to be designed and manufactured using robust engineering<br />
principles to ensure that they comply with the expected performance and lifetime requirements. This course is<br />
designed specifically to give a detailed overview of all the core concepts involved in the design of rubber products.<br />

will be held concurrently with tire technology <strong>Expo</strong> 2012 in cologne, germany,<br />
13 february 2012 – the day before the expo and main conference<br />
Presented by Mike Blundell, professor of Vehicle Dynamics and Impact, Coventry University. This course covers the<br />
computer modelling of tires within a full vehicle system. It is aimed at engineers and researchers working in both<br />
industry and academia. The subject matter will be of primary interest to vehicle dynamicists, for whom the tire is the<br />
primary force and moment generation element on the vehicle. <strong>Tire</strong>s are not especially complex but are deeply counterintuitive;<br />
practitioners require an understanding of tire behaviour and the range and capability of existing models in<br />
order to generate full system models to predict the dynamic performance of a vehicle.<br />

will be held concurrently with tire technology <strong>Expo</strong> 2012 in cologne, germany, 13 and 14 february<br />
2012 – commencing one day before the expo and main conference<br />
Presented by Bob Kind MIMMM, GPRI technical director of Polymer Recyclers Ltd, UK and John Bowen MIMMM, BSc<br />
consultant formerly of Robinson Bros Chemicals Ltd, UK. Rubber technology embraces chemistry, physics and<br />
engineering, and some of the concepts and terminology are very specific to rubber. This basic course is designed<br />
for all those working in the associated tire industry who wish to know more about the compounding of rubber. It will<br />
try and define the concepts in simple terms but at the same time relate them to actual manufacturing and product<br />
circumstances.<br />
