Contenido del curso

• Unit 1 - Introduction: importance of tire properties and basic terms
• Unit 2 - Wheel kinematics and vertical force transmission
• Unit 3 - Horizontal force transmission: longitudinal tire force, lateral tire force and combined tire force
• Unit 4 - Influencing factors, measurement of tire properties and tire modelling

Objetivos de aprendizaje

After completing this MOOC, participants will be able to:

• describe the mechanisms of tire force transmission using simplified mechanical models,
• know the main variables influencing tire-road force transmission, and
• know the basic principles of tire measurement and modelling

Requisitos previos

This course is intended for:

• students at the end of their bachelor's course or at the beginning of their master's course in mechanical engineering, automotvie engineering or related fields,
• engineers and users in the field of vehicle development

Horario del curso

The course consists of four units, each containing at least one video, various additional materials and a final quiz. The individual lessons are unlocked simultaneously and are then available as a self-study course.

For actively participating in the course you will receive an automatic certificate which includes your username, the course name as well as the completed lessons. We want to point out that this certificate merely confirms that the user answered at least 75% of the self-assessment questions correctly.
This online course can be attended as part of TU Graz-LV 331.020 Tire Technology, which is held in flipped classroom format each summer semester. For this lecture, in addition to the online courses, there are also units in presence and a final exam.
