Development and validation of finite element model for the welded structure of transit bus

Comparative Estimation of the Results Bus Body Section Computer Simulation and Experimental Data

“…It indicates that for obtaining a more accurate result of the calculation such features of the rollover as a free fall of the bus and his contact with the tilting platform should not be neglected. Thus, at the approval, the known methods of verification such as experimental tests of separate elements of bus structure [4], analysis of the balance of the calculative values of the energy [9] and implementation of experimental modal analysis [10] cannot be sufficient to obtaining accurate results of finite element modelling of the bus rollover. Based on the above mentioned, it is also desirable to conduct the experimental verification of the adequacy of finite element model motion on the example of a single section of the bus.…”

Understanding the moisture temperature and ageing dependency of power transformer winding clamping pressure

“…Finally, the FE model of the transformer winding was validated. For this purpose, model analysis was used to dynamically validate the FE model [122,123]. A detailed description of the above validation processes is presented in the next sections.…”
