The Analysis of Elastic-Plastic Mechanics of Bus Body Construction in Conditions of Rollover by Means of Simulation and Real Test

Abstract

The results of experimental and calculative estimation of elastic-plastic mechanics of bus body construction in conditions of rollover are presented. The dynamical behaviors of light commercial (LCV) bus structures are described. The analysis of approaches that could be used for estimation of buses passive safety is made. The results of experimental estimation of construction materials characteristics are described. The comparative analysis of the test experimental data and simulation results is presented..
