Preliminary Investigation of Influence Factors of Sideway Force Coefficient Using SCRIM

In this paper, advantages of the Sideway Force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) are analyzed for testing the Sideway Force Coefficient (SFC). Then influence factors are explored such as environmental conditions (test speed, test temperature, bumps degree) on the SFC test value. Furthermore some suggestion are put forward for SCRIM testing SFC value, and the safety precautions are emphasized on what drivers should pay more attention.
