    Wheel assembly testing

    I must have misunderstood how to read that. I thought it meant to develop 150g in 10 to 20ms or around 10,000g/s. Am I correct in assuming that by testing with a shock load that I'm checking the energy level rather than a force? 150g on a 0.25oz balance weight is only 2.3 lbf; that's not much.

    Wheel assembly testing

    Hmmm.... So that's good to know. Will light weight accelerometers not hold up? Greg, are you aware of any design criteria around the subject, specifically the shock loads (jerk/jolt) of a typical, low-profile tire, wheel assembly? I found a technical paper abstract, Shock Loading Experiments...

    Wheel assembly testing

    I've seen one technical article speak to over 100g's of shock load from potholes. It causes both tire and wheel damage. The problem that exist that I can't find relevant information on is "what is shock load?" It's easy to develop g's but shock has a time element. I really want to know what...

    Wheel assembly testing

    I'm looking for some information in regards to testing of wheel assemblies (actually, the balance weights). There doesn't appear to be a lot of standardized test methods or design criteria for what should be expected. Specifically, I would like the loading conditions the assembly will be...
