Abstract:

To support the development of a proposed rule 1, a fullscale ; dynamic test and two full-scale quasi-static tests have ; been performed on the posts of a state-of-the-art (SOA) end ; frame. These tests were designed to evaluate the dynamic and ; quasi-static methods for demonstrating energy absorption of ; the collision and corner posts. The tests focused on the ; collision and corner posts individually because of their critical ; positions in protecting the operator and passengers in a ; collision where only the superstructure, not the underframe, is ; loaded. There are many examples of collisions where only the ; superstructure is loaded.
