The vertical tyre force is crucial to the study of the dynamics of a tractor semi-trailer. The paper presents an experimental method for determining the vertical tyre force by determining the vertical acceleration of the un-sprung mass and the vertical acceleration of the sprung mass when the tractor semi-trailer moves. The results of this study form the basis for determining the dynamic tyre force without the installing of sensors on road.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
