MECHANICS OF PNEUMATIC TIRES

THE PNEUMATIC TIRE HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF AUTOMOTIVE TRANSPORTATION ALMOST SINCE ITS INCEPTION, YET IT REMAINS A PRODUCT WHOSE CHARACTERISTICS ARE NOT EASITY PREDICTABLE OR COMPREHENSIBLE BY CONVENTIONAL ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES. THIS TREATISE IS AN ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A RATIONAL DESCRIPTIVE AND ANALYTICAL BASIS FOR TIRE MECHANICS. CHAPTERS OF THIS BOOK ARE CONTRIBUTED BY ACTIVE RESEARCH WORKERS IN THE FIELDS OF RUBBER AND TEXTILE PROPERTIES, FRICTION, MATERIAL PROPERTIES, TIRE STRESS PROBLEMS, TIRE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, VEHICLE SKID AND HANDLING, AND TIRE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. /AUTHOR/
