(Rollover - ECE.66) O457

The document discusses simulating a rollover test of an O457 bus and modifying its structure to meet standards. Due to the large size of the bus, the rollover test was simulated using finite element analysis of the body section. The simulation results showed deformations mainly at pillar connections to the roof and floor, with little deformation to the roof and chassis. However, the deformations exceeded standards, meaning the bus failed the test. Suggestions were made to strengthen the structure based on production capabilities.

Abstract: The present paper is to examine European rollover standard (ECE66) on O457 bus, using computer simulation
method. Due to the huge size of the analyzed structure and unavailability of supercomputers and also according to the rollover

regulation, the equivalent method, i.e., body section rollover test is selected. Also, because of impossibility of real test, the
simulation results have been qualitatively compared with the existing experimental results. The extracted results show that
deformation occurs mainly in the pillar-to-floor and pillar-to-roof joints, while the roof and chassis have small deformations. As
the deformations in the body were greater than the standard level and the bus failed the test, suggestions were made to increase
the body strength. The suggestions are based on the available capabilities and limitations of the production process.
Keywords: Finite element simulation, ECE66 standard, Rollover test, Bus.
