We apply the simply-supported boundary conditions at
the eight locations denoted by small square symbols as shown in
the figure. The applied forces from the engine and driver are
transferred to the rectangular frames surrounding them. The
additional forces when the frame structure drops into a pit-hole are
embedded through the vertical acceleration with the magnitude of
2
34.445 m sec .

The computed member stresses are displayed on the
deformed frame structure as shown in the figure. The solution
indicates the locations where high stresses occur. Such solution
