GripTester
Measure of the longitudinal force coefficient
Griptester is a Findlay Irvine vehicle which will be used for the following application:
- The measure of a longitudinal force coefficient (LFC) between the overlaying and a tyre based on the principle of a braked wheel with a constant slip rate of about 15%. This slip rate, which generates the skid resistance, is obtained by mechanical drive between the two carrier wheels and the measure wheel.
