<strong>Tire</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>Expo</strong> is now in its eleventh year in<br />

Europe, and 2011 will be yet another world-class<br />

event. More exhibitors, more space and more to see<br />

than ever before. Plus, our best-ever conference<br />

programme and speaker line-up – guaranteed to<br />

make your visit highly valuable.<br />

4 Days<br />

Optional <strong>Tire</strong> Mechanics Short Course<br />

The 36th <strong>Tire</strong> mechanics Short Course will be held concurrently with <strong>Tire</strong> <strong>Technology</strong><br />

expo 2011 in Cologne, germany, 14/15/16/17 february 2011<br />

This four-day course will provide engineers and scientists with an in-depth, intense study of the<br />

latest developments surrounding tire engineering. The course is designed for practising engineers,<br />

chemists and scientists who are concerned with tires and vehicles, and who have an engineering<br />

or science background at the Bachelor of Science level. The basic aspects of the mechanics<br />

of pneumatic tires will be introduced by internationally renowned experts in tire mechanics.<br />

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 />

Optional Rubber Materials Short Course<br />

The rubber materials Short Course will be held concurrently with <strong>Tire</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> expo<br />

2011 in Cologne, germany on 14 and 15 february 2011 – commencing one day before<br />

the expo and main conference<br />

The performance requirements for engineered rubber products such as tires have continuously<br />

increased over the last few decades and are set to continue to increase. The conflicting demands of<br />

weight reduction and reduced rolling resistance, coupled with increases in abrasion resistance and<br />

wet and dry friction performance, make the tire designer’s life difficult. All rubber components have<br />

to be designed and manufactured using robust engineering principles to ensure that they comply<br />

with the expected performance and lifetime requirements. This course is designed specifically to<br />

give a detailed overview of all the core concepts involved in the design of rubber products.<br />
