Abstract:
A testing system 10; 100; 160 and a method for obtaining drive files for the testing system for wheel rim testing, includes providing a wheel assembly 14 in contact with a drum surface, the wheel assembly 14 being rotatable about an axis defining a lateral axis, and wherein a vertical axis extends through a drum surface in contact with a tire 20 of the wheel assembly 14 and is orthogonal to the lateral axis, and a longitudinal axis is defined orthogonal to both the lateral and vertical axes. A parameter is measured indicative of an overturning moment applied to the wheel rim about the longitudinal axis. A camber angle of the wheel rim relative to the drum surface is adjusted to obtain a desired overturning moment on the wheel rim about the longitudinal axis.
Abstract:
An orthopedic simulator is provided with an integral central manifold that provides internal routing of pressurized hydraulic fluid, compressed air, or electrical power to the actuators of the orthopedic simulator. The integral manifold is structurally coupled to support elements and resist and transfer bending and shear forces to the support elements.
Abstract:
An orthopedic simulator is provided with a slide table assembly that is configurable to be selectively operable in a plurality of operational modes. The modes may include a free-floating mode, a positive axis lock mode, and a shear plane loading mode.
