EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF ROLLOVER PROTECTION STRUCTURE FOR AGRICULTURAL WHEELED TRACTOR

These research work describes the roll over nature of the tractor in cases of off balance due to misalignment of centre of gravity. It also ensures the increased percentage of occupant safety as compared to pre-existing components or design architects Roll over protection structure (ROPS) is a frame or cab which protects the seat belted operator in the event of roll over.. This paper depicts the experimental and analytical investigation of two-post foldable ROPS of agricultural tractor. The experimental testing of ROPS is carried out as per IS:11821(Part2):1994 and 2009/75/EC static load standard. The analytical investigation is done by using different computer aided design, finite element analysis.
