Abstract

This paper gives an analysis about the rollover process of buses in case of a standard accident simulation. International regulation requires certain strength and energy absorbing capacity of the superstructure to ensure survival space for the passengers. The kinetic energy of a rolling bus is transformed into deformation work and involving the energy losses too, an energy balance can be set up and studied.
