To study the coupled vibration of the seated human body in the sagittal plane and coronal
plane exposed to lateral, vertical and roll excitations, a seated human body model consisting …

Seated subjects have participated in two experiments with fore-and-aft whole-body vibration
to investigate dynamic responses at the seat and footrest in the direction of vibration and in …

In recent years, a current trend of mechanical engineers is to design such mechanical drives
which will have a guaranteed life time. In this guaranteed operating life it is many times …

Vehicle ride comfort plays an important role in the vehicle design. Human body is very
sensitive to whole body vibration. Vehicle ride comfort has brought lots of concerns in recent …

Abstract Changes in the seating condition may change the body posture which could affect
the transmission of vibration through a vehicle seat. This study investigates the effect of …

The apparent mass and seat-to-head vibration transmissibility response functions of the
seated human body were investigated under whole-body vibration exposures to fore-aft (x) …

Human beings are exposed to whole-body vibration during daily life, which may cause
discomfort or even sickness. Rotational vibration especially the roll vibration produces …

A combined lumped-parameter and multi-body system dynamic model of the human body–
seat system has been constructed with masses and moments of inertia and with linear …

Humans are exposed to whole-body vibration in many types of environment. In almost all
cases, the vibration to which the human is exposed comprises multi-axis vibration, such that …
