METHOD OF TEST OF WHEELED VEHICLES AND DYNAMOMETRIC BED FOR IT Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: testing. SUBSTANCE: in agreement with proposed method of test of wheeled vehicles vehicle is fixed in all degrees of freedom in specified spatial position relative to bearing surface via surface via dynamometric device, bearing surface is imparted with translation under fixed action on controls and power reactions of vehicle are measured with change of its spatial position with regard to bearing surface and action on controls. Gear proposed for realization of this method has frame, running track with drive, mechanisms to change and fix spatial position of vehicle relative to running track, mechanisms measuring power reactions of vehicle, mechanism to change and fix vertical load. EFFECT: increased accuracy of obtained results, expanded boundaries of simulated movement modes, improved comparability of test results. 2 cl, 2 dwg
