Testing of the Rollover protection system

[Ryan Sword]

Hello, my team was wondering how we should go about physically testing the load cases on the rps. We don't believe have the ability to apply the 2670 N force at an angle of 12 degree, we were wondering if we could split the force into its components so that we can apply a force of 2670sin(12) horizontally and then a 2670cos(12) straight vertically. We believe this would be easier to physically test, though we would still need to figure out the specific testing means. Thank you.

Hi Ryan,

Physical testing can be done by components of force as long as proper details are provided for the test setup, and the results are backed up by theoretical analysis.
