A method of calculating forces applied at an interface between a revolving element and a support on which the element revolves using a set of fixed sensors capable of delivering three independent signals representative of forces being applied on a fixed race of a bearing. The method is an iterative processing procedure and a calibration procedure, which is carried out before a first iteration of the processing procedure. The invention also applies such a method to the case of a tyre running on a road.

Calculation method of strains applied between a rotating part and a bearing on which it rotates

Bearing and interface assembly comprising at least one elastic deformation zone and a braking assembly comprising it

A bearing of the type comprising a fixed raceway ( ) intended to be associated with a fixed structure, a rotating raceway ( ) intended to be associated with a rotating member ( ) and rolling bodies disposed between them, in which the fixed raceway ( ) comprises first means ( ) of fixing the said bearing ( ) to the fixed structure. The fixed raceway ( ) comprises at least one elastic deformation zone able to be deformed under the action of forces exerted on the said bearing ( ). At least one sensor ( ) able to measure the said forces is functionally associated with the said elastic deformation zone.
