Development of Calibrated Wheel Stud Fasteners
FY 2017-18 · 2017-09-01
Summary
This project is the development of two systems that prevents Truck Wheels from escaping during operation thereby eliminating an oft times fatal hazard. The first invention uses a pre-calibrated wheel studs which are studs that have built in switches that activate at a predetermined stud elongation and causes a signal to be sent to the vehicle operator that a specific Lug Stud is either under torqued, over-torqued or sheared. The second invention is a compression ring that uses low Young's modulus material below the lug nut to compress and close a switch at a predetermined pre-load and cause a signal to be sent when an undesirable torque level is present.

Description (French)
Ce projet est pour le développement de deux systèmes, qui empêchent les roues de camion de s’échapper pendant le fonctionnement, éliminant ainsi souvent les risques de mort. La première invention utilise des goujons de roue pré-calibrés, qui sont des goujons dotés d'interrupteurs intégrés, qui s'allument à un allongement prédéterminé des goujons et qui envoient un signal au conducteur du véhicule indiquant qu'un goujon spécifique est soit pas assez serré, trop serré ou cisaillé. La seconde invention est une bague de compression, qui utilise un matériau à faible module de Young en dessous de l'écrou de roue pour compresser et fermer un commutateur à une précharge prédéterminée et provoquer l'envoi d'un signal lorsqu'un niveau de couple indésirable est présent.
