Abstract

A wheel dynamometer was installed between the rim and axle hub to measure the forces and moments applied to a vehicle. The wheel dynamometer was composed of sensing and signal processing components. Because the sensing component contained a complex structure to sense the six components of the forces and moments and the wheel rotated along with the vehicle movement, sophisticated signal processing hardware and a software algorithm were used. The strains and the calibration matrices of the wheel dynamometer along the wheel rotation angle were investigated using FEM. From the analysis, the calibration matrices were simplified using a spline interpolation. Based upon these results, the signal processing component could be effectively designed and the firmware software could be simplified.
