Determination of the effect of tire stiffness on wheel accelerations by the forced vibration test method

The paper presents results of a vibroacoustic signal analysis of the unsprung mass in a car actuated by harmonic kinematic vibrations. A passenger car with a hydropneumatic suspension system and standard tires was examined. Different tire pressures were used during the experiments. The authors applied the short time Fourier transform method with superposition of the Hanning windows combined with the zero complement method. With reference to the STFT spectrum, values of the unsprung mass resonance frequency were identified. The results of the experiments described in the publication are particularly useful for the personnel of vehicle service stations, especially that they relate to the effect of tire pressure changes occurring in a vehicle with a hydropneumatic suspension system on the vibration test results.
