Simulation technologies at FOPS design phase for “AMKODOR” machines: application experience

The capability for operator protection in case of falling objects accidents is one of the most important criteria for cabin evaluation. For this reason, machines are equipped with falling-object protective structures (FOPS). There is a number of standards defining FOPS requirements depending on the machine class and mass. Engineer’s primary task at FOPS design phase is to develop such a structure that will meet the safety requirements. The results of cooperation of «AMKODOR» holding and The United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (UIIP NASB) on special machines FOPS design are presented in the current paper.
