SAE J/ISO 3471 ROPS

thread436-331582

SAE J/ISO 3471 ROPS

SAE J/ISO 3471 ROPS

(OP)
SAE J/ISO 3471 supersedes SAE J1040 for ROPS (RollOver Protective Structures).

In 3471 Table 1 – Force and energy equations it specifies energy, U, in units of joules. However, in the column for Lateral load energy, it calls out factors of m (machine mass). Mass in units of kg is not energy. Any ideas?

I would attach the 3471 document but it is copyrighted.

Design for RELIABILITY, manufacturability, and maintainability
