10th TIRE REINFORCEMENT MATERIALS, APPLICATIONS AND FATIGUE TESTING SHORT COURSE

This one-day course provides an understanding of the use of materials and constructions for rubber reinforcement in the tire. This course is intended for tire reinforcement engineers from the design and material laboratory departments of tire manufacturers and their reinforcement suppliers.

The specific requirements of reinforcement are explained for the different tire components. The generic steel and textile cord material properties, constructions and manufacturing are introduced. Industry specialists from leading reinforcement manufacturers will give further in-depth presentations specifically for steel cord, polyamide, polyester, rayon and aramid reinforcement. The course also includes static and fatigue test methods to validate the tire reinforcement in material laboratories for relevant application in the tire.
