The study was designed to establish a realistic method of fatigue testing vehicle components using a wheel test rig from an evaluation of test results obtained on a test track and public roads using a test vehicle. In particular, the stresses to which saloon car wheels were subjected during hard cornering could be adequately represented on a wheel test rig and evaluated from the side force at the tyre contact patch. The road tests involved measurements of vehicle speeds and lateral accelerations using aluminum alloy and steel wheels with strain gauges attached for stress measurements.
