Abstract
The dimensioning of vehicle body structures for service fatigue life is a highly complicated
task in its every stage. Namely the appropriate structural modelling for dynamic analysis
and the elaboration of realistic loading and design conditions (loading and design spectra)
for the total duration of their life. In this paper the dynamic analysis of a bus is presented
as a feasibility study using finite element model of large number of degrees of freedom
