Presentation Abstract:
We are very pleased that this past spring Dr. Kasprzak gave a guest lecture at Ryerson that focused on tire performance and its relation to vechicle dynamics. The presentation included an overview of tire construction, discussion of both labratory tire testing and model development from measured data, application of tire models to vehicle analysis, design and simulation.
