Abstract
Calculating the stress level of the load-carrying structure of a vehicle’s frame based on data obtained from literature can be unreliable. It is crucial to know the operating characteristics of a given vehicle. In the presented example, it was necessary to understand the phenomena that occur during operation of a vehicle, which could not travel a selected test distance without sustaining damage to the load-carrying structure. Attempts to improve the structure based solely on the analysis of damage did not bring satisfactory results. Only after performing numerical simulation of vehicle operation and an in-depth analysis of the problem was it possible to modify the frame so that it would pass the roadworthiness tests and qualify for registration.
