  • The Optimum Dataset method – examples of the application

    Publikacja

    - Rok 2018

    Data reduction is a procedure to decrease the dataset in order to make their analysis more effective and easier.

  • Engineering method of tire rolling resistance evaluation

    Publikacja

    Tire rolling resistance is one of the most difficult tire parameters to measure. The reason is that for modern tires the force of rolling resistance corresponds to 0.5–1% of tire load, thus measurements of very small forces must be performed in a heavily loaded system. This constitutes great problems, especially in road conditions. Laboratory measurements are easier to perform, as the environment may be better controlled, but roadwheel...
