Hi

Does anyone know if there have been tests done on tires to determine the coefficient of restitution at different speeds, with different masses? If so where can I get this kind of data? Or, should I be treating the tire as if it were a spring and determine its k value? If this is the case is there published data for k values of tires?

Take Care :)
