Investigation of Tri-Axial Stress Sensing and Measuring Technology for Tire-Pavement Contact Surface
Source abstract
Abstract
A tri-axial stress sensor was designed to measure contact stresses in the tire–pavement contact patch. The shape and size of the sensor surface were designed considering both the asphalt pavement texture and the tire pattern. The top-down cracking mechanism was also taken into account, and the sensor was placed at the vertical crack depth. Temperature drifts and zero drifts were compensated for. The sensor had high structural strength and met the sensing requirements of specialized heavy vehicles. In a preliminary study, three sensors were fabricated and calibrated in three directions. Simulated measurements were performed using a tire–pavement surface contact test bench. Signals from the L-shaped sensor region were obtained for the upper, middle, and lower parts of the tire, and preliminary stress distributions were determined at different positions on the contact surface. This study has laid a foundation for the design and construction of a more precise test system in the future.
