Simulation tests of roll-over protection structure

Information Technology Applications in Construction Safety Assurance

“…The results have shown the model's capacity and justified its application to generic types of robotic construction systems (Yoo et al 2012). A method based on strength tests for protective structures for construction equipment to prevent roll-over has been presented (Karliński et al 2013).…”

Falling-object protective structure for tractors in service: Prototype design and validation

“…In fields other than the agriculture, Karlinski, Rusinski, and Smolnicki (2008), Karlinski, Ptak, and Działak (2013) and Derlukiewicz, Karlinski, and IIuk (2010) developed approaches, based on finite element analysis, for mining vehicle protective structures, which led to the possibility of using numerical simulation to design protective structures. Aiming to provide information helping in the design and evaluation of ROPSs without a systematic destructive test, Clark, Thambiratnam, and Perera (2006), Thambiratnam, Clark and Perera (2009) and Perera, Thambiratnam and Clark (2011) conducted experimental and numerical dynamic impact analysis on a construction machine ROPS.…”

Retrofitting Agricultural Self-Propelled Machines with Roll-Over and Tip-Over Protective Structures

“…The last sub-phases are that of the structural validation of the ROPS/TOPS structure by means of the finite element method and subsequent analysis ( [34]), applying the sequence of tests provided by the standard of phase 2. In this sub-phase, the designer evaluates the deflection-limiting volume as intrusion/unprotecting in a suitable way ( [35]), simulating the elastic and plastic behavior of the steel material. If the structural validation fails, the virtual prototyping restarts from the protective structure virtual model, which updates iteratively.…”
