WHEEL OF TEST VEHICLE, EXPERIMENTAL DEVICE AND AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTIC DETECTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure force (particularly, hydrodynamic force) acting on a test vehicle, while overcoming conventional defects.;SOLUTION: In this wheel 2 for the test vehicle has the rim 70 and a hub 60, a force sensor 10 is arranged in an air flow between the hub 60 and the rim 70. The force sensor 10 is also arranged so as to detect at least one of the forces acting in the height direction (z) of the test vehicle, force acting in the width direction (y) and force acting in the longitudinal direction (x).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
