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.
