Truck ride refers to some vehicle ride parameters involved in tractor-trailer combinations; for study, mathematical model of tractor-trailer vehicle as vibrating system was developed; principles of vibration theory were applied to model while digital computer was employed to investigate complex system; analytical vehicle studies were conducted using magnetic tape recorder and associated instrumentation installed in tractor; parameters studied included coupler position on tractor, laden weight of trailer, spring rates of different axles of combination, damping capacity associated with each spring rate, vehicle speed, and "tar strip" spacing of highway and cab mountings.
