ABSTRACT:
A road simulator for testing components of automobiles using a wheel assembly, including a tire that is to be loaded by simulation of actual road forces. A low mass flexible web harness is placed over the tire and has web extensions loaded in tension in at least one lateral direction for simulating forces transmitted to the tire at the tire patch without having any substantial mass applied to the tire. High strength, low mass webs are used for the loading link and harness, such as a nylon, Aramid fibers , or carbon filament materials. The harness permits simulating very closely the actual friction forces on a tire, particularly in relation to lateral direction loading without having test fixture mass affect the test.
