Popis: Presently, large passenger vehicles are known to have high risk of an injury due to accident and insufficient of safety regulation. The strength of seat is one of important issues that affect to injury level of passenger. Therefore, suitable structure strength and design of the seat are very important to prevent injuries and passenger life. This study was to evaluate strength of the seat structure for bus according to preliminary safety regulation of Department of Land Transport. Finite element analysis is employed by using a static load. The seat model was simplified and simulated. Stress and impact scenario between seat-back and back of manikin will be investigated. The strength and deflection of the seat will be evaluated. This study is expected to provide the seat model which will be safe and satisfied according to the regulation.
