Method for measuring the position of the normal reaction on the vehicle wheel

Abstract

Abstract The paper deals with the study of the reaction positions of the support surface on the vehicle wheels. The problems is that the longitudinal drifts of the normal reaction are not fully described. There is no initial data on the rolling radii in the presence of a moment on the wheel. The existing problem does not allow considering components of the longitudinal drifts of normal reactions. The authors noted that the accuracy of predicting the stability and controllability of the vehicle deteriorates. The way out of this is to search other ways to determine the values of these drifts. In conclusion, the authors admitted dividing the general drift of the normal reaction into three components. The paper proposes a measurement method to determine the existence and numerical value of the third component. This method includes indirectly measuring the normal reaction drift that was implemented on an experimental setup.
