Analysis of Relations of Towed Vehicles and Road Profile

Analysis of Relations of Towed Vehicles and Road Profile

The qualities of the different road profiles highly influence the life span of the vehicles using them. The more uneven a stretch of road is, the greater the damaging effect. The aim of the research was to develop a comparative method that makes possible to compare the vibration generating effects of different road profiles. Using the comparative method a testing system was developed that is suitable to conduct accelerated fatigue tests that generate failures occurring under real working conditions.
