Paul Herman recently attended two SAE seminars on tires that were offered in conjunction with the SAE World Congress. The first was entitled "The Tire as a Vehicle Component", and the second was entitled "Tire and 

 

 

Wheel Safety issues Seminar". Both seminars were presented by Dr. Joseph D. Walter, who has had a long, distinguished career in the tire industry, as well as in academia.

Together, these two seminars served as a primer course on tire related issues. The seminars addressed tire construction, the response of tires to static and dynamic loads, the mechanical interaction between tires and a vehicle, and the interaction between tires and a road surface under disparate road conditions.

Since tires are the predominant intermediary between vehicles and road surfaces, they are of prime consideration in accident reconstruction efforts.
