MODELS OF DYNAMIC LOAD COEFFICIENT FOR A TWO-AXLE TRUCK OBTAINED FROM ROAD SIMULATOR DATA

This paper presents the results of a study of dynamic wheel loads generated by a two-axle truck with leaf spring suspension. The wheel loads were measured when the truck was tested on a four post hydraulic shaker (road simulator), using surface elevation profiles of actual road pavements as input to the shaker. The dynamic wheel load data were then used to derive regression models relating the truck wheel loads to tire inflation pressure, wheel static load, truck speed, and road roughness for three types of tires. The effect of the dynamic wheel loads on pavement damage was given only marginal attention in this study.
