Article: Study about the human body response under the vertical vibrations action into a vehicle.(Technical report)

Abstract: This paper investigates the biodynamic response of human body subjected to vertical vibrations into an auto vehicle, in two different situations: the driver sitting on a rigid seat and respectively the driver sitting on a vehicle seat with seat cushion and additional seat suspension. In doing so, a seat suspension model with a detailed lumped parameter model of the human body, was developed. The human body can be considered as a mechanical system and it may be roughly approximated by a linear lumped parameter at low frequencies and low vibration levels. The lumped parameter model of the human body consists of four parts: pelvis, upper torso, viscera and head. The ...
