Rollover, ROPS and FOPS
Static nonlinear or dynamic transient finite element analysis to determine:
The results from the above finite element analyses can be assessed for various objectives, such as:
- Large displacement deformations
- Motion trajectories
- Energy absorption
- Ultimate failure loads
The results from the above finite element analyses can be assessed for various objectives, such as:
- Assessment of impact resistance
- Assessment of structural integrity after impact
- Parameter studies and optimisation of designs
- Compliance of roll-over protective structures (ROPS) to ISO 3471
- Compliance of falling object protective structures (FOPS) to ISO 3449
- Compliance of the roll-over strength of busses to SABS 1563:1992
