MEASUREMENT OF TIRE DYNAMIC PROPERTIES

The measurement of tire dynamic properties, unlike tire static properties, calls for an increase in the rigidity of the testing machine and the elimination of the effect of inertia torque and force on the measurements. Testing machines which meet these requirements are used by leading manufacturers around the world. Some typical examples of these machines are described in this paper. The purpose of developing the Nissan dynamic tire testing machine, its specifications, construction, and measurement system are also explained. Additionally, the frequency response of tire lateral force and aligning torque against a slip angle of up to 20 hz excitation frequency are shown. A simulation analysis of a vehicle's frequency response indicates that tire dynamic properties must be considered in order to obtain accurate simulation results. (Author/TRRL)
