Estimation of the Lateral Force, acting at the Tire Contact Patch of a Vehicle Wheel, using a Hub Bearing Unit instrumented with Strain Gauges and Eddy-current Sensors

Load Sensing Bearing (LSB) units are based on the measurement of the elastic deformation of the outer ring of the bearing unit usually using strain gauges which are placed along the circumference of the bearing. The master thesis is aimed at estimating the lateral tire force of a vehicle wheel using the vehicle wheel bearing hub unit which is...
