Abstract

In 1971 a research team in “tire mechanics” was setup at Kleber Colombes with the following goals:

  1. 1

    Replace time consuming and costly trials (or reduce them) for the study of new tires.

  2. 2

    Ultimately by a better knowledge of internal mechanical behavior get new technological directions.
