Abstract
A bus rollover accounted for one of the most severe crashes that would lead to a large number of fatalities and injured occupants. This study intends to investigate the structural behavior of passenger buses submitted to a rollover test in accordance with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulation No. 66. It aims at establishment of passive safety solutions of the bus. Although this regulation only applies to Vehicles M3 Class IUIII, it intends to provide solutions applied on Vehicle M3 Class I, city busses. The rollover simulation is performed by means of an explicit dynamic analysis via Finite Element Method (FEM) formulations validated by experimental data. As a result, the force-displacement curve is characterized and the internal energy released by the studied bus section during loading is obtained and compared to the value recommended by R66 regulation. The outcome of this work contributes to assess the bus structural integrity and propose the passive safety solutions if necessary. (C) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
