DYNAMIC PAVEMENT/WHEEL LOADING FOR TRUCKS WITH TANDEM SUSPENSIONS

This paper presents measurements of the vertical loads imposed on the road by a heavy commercial vehicle with tandem suspensions, and also the vehicle ride accelerations induced by roughness. Measured characteristics of the vibrations are compared with those predicted using a two degree-of-freedom nonlinear vehicle model.
