- Vol. 233, Iss: 18, pp 6588-6601
TLDR
The present study finds out the vibration characteristics of four models of automotive seating system, with and without dummy mass using finite element analysis and emphasizes the importance of the ride comfort of driver/occupant.
Abstract
The Automotive Seating System (ASS) is an important sub-system in a car for increasing the ride comfort of driver/occupant and hence the need for a systematic study on the vibration characteristics...

Multibody modelling of the human body for vibration induced direct and cross-axis seat to head transmissibility:

TL;DR: In this article, the motion of the head is influenced by backrest forces transmitted to the lumbar region of the spine during vertical or fore-and-aft vibrations of a seated human body.

Vibration control of an active horizontal seat suspension with a permanent magnet synchronous motor

TL;DR: A novel control strategy for the permanent magnet synchronous motor is developed to improve the vibro-isolation properties of the horizontal seat suspension and the dynamic performance of the system is compared with that of a corresponding conventional passive suspension system.

Using a rhythmic human shaker to identify modal properties of a stationary human body on a footbridge

TL;DR: In this article , a simple but efficient transmissibility-based procedure for testing the dynamic properties of a human body is presented, which consists of two main steps, namely, to identify the modal properties of the supporting structure and to establish the transmissability of the human body.

Optimization of structural parameters through objective-evaluation of ride comfort in a heavy-duty commercial vehicle

TL;DR: Passive suspension system usage in design considerations is seen in heavy commercial vehicles where the owners have to consider the vehicle's dynamic behavior and driving comfort.

Resonance behaviour of the seated human body and effects of posture.

TL;DR: The complex body motions suggest that any forces causing injury from whole-body vibration will not be well-predicted by biodynamic models incapable of representing the appropriate body motions and the effects of body posture.

Virtual optimisation of car passenger seats: Simulation of static and dynamic effects on drivers’ seating comfort

TL;DR: In this article, a human model is adapted to the right posture, which is given by the inclination of the cushion and the backrest, and the simulation is carried out by a unit excitation of the seat slides at the clamping points.

Predicting passenger seat comfort and discomfort on the basis of human, context and seat characteristics: a literature review

TL;DR: There are correlations between anthropometric variables and interface pressure variables, and that this relationship is affected by body posture, so a predictive model that can support seat designers and purchasers to make informed decisions is built.

The influence of car-seat design on its character experience

Irene Kamp
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: Results show that the new light weight car-seat concept rated well on experienced relaxedness, even with the lack of a side support, and that hard seats with rather high side supports are rated sporty and seats that are softer are rated more luxurious.
