I asume trailers in America only have 2 axles or more. But in Europe most of the travel- trailers have 1 axle , and tandem- axle trailers are exeptional
Single axle trailers probably have higher interply shear than a motorized but I don't have the data or other evidence such as a film showing the lateral bending of the tires as seen on my post in my blog on Interply shear.


Side bending would be proof of higher InterplyShear. I just can't put a number on how much higher.


The Vehicle simulation software and the Finite Element software to calculate the level costs about $300,000. I was lucky to get a single run after hours while working but since I am now retired do not have access to the software anymore.
