A method and system for measuring deformation of a surface

Deformation of a surface, such as a pavement surface is measured using a rolling weight or wheel carrying one or more accelerometers positioned to measure the deformation occurring at a point on or near the perimeter of the wheel. The weight is rolled over the surface to be measured. The signals dev...

Summary:Deformation of a surface, such as a pavement surface is measured using a rolling weight or wheel carrying one or more accelerometers positioned to measure the deformation occurring at a point on or near the perimeter of the wheel. The weight is rolled over the surface to be measured. The signals developed by the one or more accelerometers during a stationary cycloidal period of the point on the perimeter of the wheel are analysed to provide a measure of surface
