PROBLEMS OF NORMALIZATION OF THE STRENGTH OF AUTOMOBILE STRUCTURES

The state-of-the-art of the problem of normalization of the strength of automobile load-bearing systems Is analyzed. The studies aimed at the development of a general dynamic method for estimating the stressed-strained state and service life of an automobile subject to random dynamic loads due to the road roughness are discussed as well as the methods for calculating the strength of load-bearing systems in the presence of a static loading and the residual space in the case of tipping. The major principles of the construction of strength norms are formulated.
