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 />
