New Method to Measure the Damping of Bus Cross Beams

Dynamic dimensioning of bus frames requires proper knowledge of the damping of different vehicle parts determined by measurements.

With reference to damping measurements in literature, the author examines the damping of rectangular steel tubes and that of electric, are welded cross beams of different types with a method of his own design.

This method, beyond its economy, reduces the environmental effects disturbing measurements much more efficiently than any other technique applied so far.
