ABSTRACT:
A dynamic load simulator is provided to simulate the suspension system of a vehicle. A spindle, connected to a suspension system, receives a tire in engagement with a rotating drum. A force gauge and velocity gauge are maintained at the spindle to monitor axle forces and movement. Road force is monitored by gauges maintained within the rotating drum. Adjustable springs, dampers, resonators, and weights allow the characteristics of the suspension system to be tailored to simulate those of an actual or conceptual.
