EFFECT OF HEAVY VEHICLE SUSPENSION NONLINEARITIES ON PAVEMENT LOADING --THE DYNAMICS OF VEHICLES ON ROADS AND TRACKS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE 10TH IAVSD SYMPOSIUM, PRAGUE, CZECH, AUGUST 24-28, 1987

Experimental dynamic force data from heavy duty vehicles are compared with an idealized linear model. The results show that the degree of divergence from the preferred linear model is strongly dependent on the suspension spring hardening rate. An index which encompasses the sum total effect of system nonlinearity is introduced with the purpose of quantifying the degree of nonlinearity of vehicle systems.
