Title: MEASURING TIRE FRICTION UNDER SLIP WITH THE PENN STATE ROAD FRICTION TESTER
Accession Number: 00206747
Record Type: Component
Abstract: SKID RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS REMAIN THE MOST PRACTICAL METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING THE FRICTIONAL PROPERTIES OF HIGHWAY PAVEMENTS. FRICTION MEASUREMENTS WITH TIRES OPERATING UNDER SLIP ARE, HOWEVER, NEEDED FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES. THE ADAPTATION OF THE PENN STATE ROAD FRICTION TESTER, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR MEASURING SKID RESISTANCE WITH A FULL-SCALE TIRE, TO THE MEASUREMENTS OF TIRE-PAVEMENT FRICTION UNDER SLIP IS DESCRIBED. THE METHOD EMPLOYED CONSISTS IN GRADUALLY RETARDING THE TEST WHEEL BY AN ADJUSTABLE BRAKE ACTUATING SYSTEM AND MEASURING THE FORCES IN BOTH HORIZONTAL ARMS OF THE TEST WHEEL PARALLELOGRAM SUSPENSION. BY ELECTRIC ADDITION OF THESE FORCES AND MEASURING VEHICLE SPEED AND TEST WHEEL VELOCITY THE COMPLETE FRICTION VS SLIP RELATIONSHIP OF AN INDIVIDUAL TEST CYCLE IS OBTAINED. /AUTHOR/
