Abstract

A test bench and a method to predict pressure oscillations in a vehicle tire. The tire is rotatably positioned, via a bearing on a test bench rim, the tire is pressurized with fluid, a load is applied on the tire, the tire is accelerated according to pre-determinable speed ramp to a final speed, the fluid in accordance with the tire speed, undergoes an oscillation excitation, and reacts to the oscillation excitation with a pressure oscillation. The method is characterized in that an effective force of the tire, due to the pressure oscillation, at the bearing is continuously detected, and that a descriptive data set is determined for the tire speed over the frequency, a timing signal of the speed ramp undergoes a Fourier transformation and, in an analogous manner, a reference data set is created through the use of a vehicle rim instead of the test bench rim.
