Abstract

In this paper the results of tests of vertical dynamic wheel loads due to changes in suspension damping level are presented. The changes in damping level were performed using semi-active shock absorbers with by-pass valve. The article presents suspension goals, the definition of dynamic loads of vehicle wheel, testing methods with the information on the used apparatus and sensors. In the end the results are presented, interpreted and compared with other researchers' results.
