This diploma thesis deals with the strength assessment of the rear frame of the LVS 720 forest forwarder. The main objective was to create a computational model, define selected operating load cases, and perform a stress-strain analysis of the frame structure. The thesis also includes an analytical assessment of a selected bolted joint connecting parts of the frame. The computational model was created in MSC Apex based on geometry modified from data supplied by the manufacturer. The structure was modeled predominantly as a midsurface shell model, and the evaluated load cases corresponded to timber loading, trailer steering, and axle articulation during travel over uneven terrain. Based on the results, critical locations of the frame were identified and structural modifications were proposed to reduce their stress levels. A repeated analysis of the modified model subsequently confirmed the positive effect of the proposed changes on reducing stress in the selected areas.
