| Summary: | This invention relates generally to a static testing device for testing automobile components. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a device for testing and measuring the forces created by road imperfections on automobile tires under particular loads and a related method.
An apparatus for the static testing of a vehicle tire to determine displacement as a function of force of the tire. A tire is placed upon several cross members that are vertically adjustable where the cross members are vertically adjusted to simulate a particular road bed profile. A tire is then forced down upon the cross members and the force created upon the cross members is measured against the displacement of the tire. |
