MEASUREMENT OF THE DYNAMIC TIRE FORCES OF A LARGE TRUCK
Abstract
The study of the dynamic tire forces of a moving vehicle is a relatively new subject that is receiving increased attention from both automotive engineers and highway engineers. This investigation was part of a Joint effort between these two groups. The primary concern of this investigation was the measurement of the dynamic tire forces of a large truck as it passed over an instrumented section of pavement. The results of the investigation that deal with the pavement are presented in a Purdue University Ph.D. Thesis, "An Experimental Analysis of Transient Vehicle Loads and Response of Flexible Pavement", by John Sanborn. The problems associated with the measurement of the dynamic tire forces are discussed in this thesis.
