DETERMINATION OF DYNAMIC LOAD ACTING ON THE WHEEL BY EXPERIENCE

Abstract

During the car's motion on the road, in addition to the impact of static loads, the wheels are also affected by dynamic loads. Dynamic loads can be caused by vibration when the vehicle is moving on uneven roads, by centrifugal force during rotation, by braking or by accelerated process...  When determining the dynamic load acting on the wheel, usually single motion cases are considered. However, the movement of cars on the road is often complicated. This paper presents a method to determine the dynamic load acting on the wheel by experiment. With this method it is possible to determine the dynamic load acting on the wheel in any state of motion. Experimental results can be useful references for automotive designers, operators, car dynamics simulation and road designers.
