| Measuring forces at the hitch
Discussions around here on "over-hitching" and "heavy-duty" truck suspensions coupled with our baby-soft A/S suspensions, prompted me to do some experimentation with a 3-axis accelerometer.
Here is a screen-cap of the data. This was just a quick pass to verify equipment was functioning. I also wanted some real world data to work with on finding the best way to analyze.
The +/- 5g accelerometer was velcro'd to the 'A'-frame just rear of the ball coupler.
So, all I need now are some rigs and a test track...
