Description
Summary:Over the last thirty years, Research and Testing Institute Pilsen (former SKODA RESEARCH) has been developing a complex methodology of computational and experimental investigation of strength and fatigue life of bodyworks of road vehicles for mass passenger transport (buses, trolleybuses, currently battery electro-buses). The methodology continues to be developed in cooperation with the Regional Technological Institute, which is a research center of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. Research and development are carried out in cooperation with various domestic and foreign manufacturers of city road vehicles. The amount of collected results already allows the creation of a knowledge base for the quantitative evaluation of the fatigue strength of newly developed bodyworks.
