Abstract

The article is devoted to the solution of practical problems in the field of buses passive safety and particularly to the determination of passenger vehicles service limits according to the safety conditions and the body structural strength. The authors have developed a step-by-step strategy of distribution of a blow general energy on the bus pillars taking into account irregularity of loading on axes. The authors have calculated the breaking load for the body material possessing ideal elastoplastic properties. The authors have calculated the predictable moment of section resistance for the body material taking into account the corrosive deterioration of its elements during operating time years. The remaining life of the bus body safe operation on the basis of the estimation of its corrosive deterioration is proved.
