Radial Tire Design, Radial Tire Mechanics, Tire/Vehicle Matching, Tire Building
ID: 726361
France
Teached Continuum mechanics, used it in Research work paticularly in tire mechanics modeling. Had obviously to teach also coordinate set which is required in that all.
He published a DEA report giving a theory for the bending vibration of floating beams & ships.
He developed a structural mechanics modeling of radial tire.
His work included tire dynamics and vehicle dynamics.
His main expertise is with tire mechanics and tire/vehicle matching.
Expert used to teach vibration mechanics of structures for 2 years.
He developed a model for bending vibration of floating beams & ships.
Will be specially helpful for tire manufacturers switching from bias to radial tire technology in development (design, training of designers, testing) and manufacturing as well.Help to vehicle constructors in Tire/Vehicle matching.Training for Manufacturing Staff needing to learn about radial technology.
