Edited by A.N. Gent and J.D. Walter. 700 pages. Price, $10. Rubber Division, American Chemical Society The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a learned society (professional association) based in the United States that supports scientific inquiry in the field of chemistry. Founded in 1876 at New York University, the ACS currently has over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in , Akron, OH (2007). This e-book is intended as a professional resource and teaching tool for tire engineers and designers. Subjects include an overview of tire technology, mechanical properties of rubber, tire cords and cord-to-rubber bonding, mechanics of cord-rubber composite materials, tire load capacity, tire stress analysis, contact patch A contact patch is the term applied to the portion of a vehicle's tire that is in actual contact with the road surface. The shape of a tire's contact patch can have a great effect on the handling of the vehicle to which it is fitted. (footprint) phenomena, forces and moments, tire noise and vibration, waves and rotating tires, rubber friction and tire traction, rolling resistance Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the resistance that occurs when an object such as a ball or tire rolls. It is caused by the deformation of the wheel or tire or the deformation of the ground. , rubber abrasion and tire wear, tire properties that affect vehicle steady-state handling behavior, tire standards and specifications, etc. www.rubber.org |
