Instrumentation for Measuring Tractor Chassis AccelerationPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Applied Engineering in Agriculture. 7(3): 300-304. (doi: 10.13031/2013.26237) @1991Authors: R. S. Freeland, F. D. Tompkins, L. R. Wilhelm, J. R. Sarten Keywords: Acceleration, Instrumentation, Measurement, Safety, Sensors, Tractors Strain gauge accelerometers were installed on a lawn and garden ride-on tractor to measure vehicle dynamic response from a shock load. Ballasted with a simulated operator mass of 90 kg (200 lb), the tractor was suspended above a smooth, concrete surface by a cable. Manual release of the cable initiated the test. Thus, the rear tires were simultaneously shock loaded by chassis free-fall impact. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
