“…The proper definition of test load spectra is the key point for designing safe lightweight automotive structures. Load spectra for trucks and passenger cars have been collected during the last 20 years [6,[13][14][15]. In particular, ) developed "Eurocycle", a representative load spectrum of vertical and lateral wheel loads of European cars and commercial trucks.…”

The paper is devoted to the measurement and to the processing of load spectra of forces and moments acting at the wheel hub of a motorcycle. Smart wheels (SWs) have been specifically developed for the scope. Throughout the paper, the extreme case of a race motorcycle is considered. Accurate load spectra were measured in two race circuits. Standardized load spectra are derived by processing measured data. A way to easily generalize the measured load spectra is proposed for the first time for motorcycles. Several loading conditions, related to the motorcycle straight line motion, cornering, curb hit and gear shift, are identified and extracted from the experimental measures. For each loading condition, by means of simple semi-analytical models (SAMs), a relationship is found between the vertical force on the wheel, the tilt angle of the motorcycle and the remaining forces and moments acting at the wheel hub. Such relationships are nothing else than the standardized load spectra. Additionally, a simple and efficient method based on smart wheels for real-time structural monitoring is proposed. Standardized load spectra prove to provide consistent results even when compared to real-time structural monitoring data. By means of the presented smart wheels, advanced lightweight motorcycle construction is enabled by derivation of standardized load spectra or real time estimation of the damage of structural components.

“…For example, the traction force is always used in the study on performance of the engine and brake, which is helpful to design an antilock brake system [6,7]. The positive pressure is the force of the ground on the wheel, which can be used in load spectrum analysis [8,9] so as to refine the design of suspension system [10]. Therefore, it is crucial to acquire accurate wheel force data for the development of high quality products in a reasonable time frame for car maker companies and system & component supply companies [11].…”

“…These wheel forces (as shown in Figure 1), including longitudinal force F x , lateral force F y , vertical force F z , heeling moment M x , twist torque M y and aligning torque M z , have been proved absolutely critical for the design and testing of vehicles in the past decades [4,5]. For example, F x is helpful to design an antilock brake system [6][7][8], and F z could be used in load spectrum analysis [9,10]. Now that in-wheel motors are finding increasingly utilization in new intelligent vehicles, the need for high precision measurement and control of the wheel forces is becoming more important than ever [11][12][13].…”

The measurement of the rotational angle of the wheel is critical for the smart wheel force sensor (SWFS) to obtain the wheel forces defined in the vehicle coordinates. To simplify the structure of the SWFS and overcome the shortcomings of the traditional angular transducer, a new method to evaluate the rotational speed of the wheel and then calculate the rotational angle is proposed in this paper. In this method, the centripetal acceleration caused by the rotation is recorded by three accelerometers and used carefully. What’s more, the possible sources of error are classified and analyzed. Simulations and stand experiment are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
