Abstract
A monocock structure of an airport bus is a very demanding product as regards its strength. With the application of the FEA method the allegedly critical points of the framework were determined; these especially occurred on the door frameworks. The experimental methods of measuring mechanical deformations confirmed the presumptions that maximum deformations were measured at the points which were previously analysed with the FEA method. The driving regime with a maximum speed of 40 km/h in a circle with a minimum turning radius and a changeable regime of acceleration and braking proved critical. The measurements led to appropriate construction amendments, additional strengthening of the framework and other measures which fulfilled the required strength criteria.
