Abstract
The analytical models for calculating the performance of vehicles used to transport fertilizers have been developed. The durability of undercarriages elements is estimated with consideration of kinetic equations for determining the periods of nucleation and propagation of cracks. The formulas for determining the durability of П-shaped thin-walled sections as the sum of the periods of nucleation and subcritical growth of corrosion-fatigue cracks in metal structures of vehicles, depending on the conditions of operation, are applied as well.
