MODELLING A SEAT-PERSON SYSTEM IN THE VERTICAL AND FORE-AND-AFT AXES
The optimisation of seats requires dynamic models of the seat-person system for both the vertical and fore-and-aft axes. The vertical axis apparent masses of ten men sitting on a flat seat, feet-supported and feet-not-supported, have been measured. The mean results are compared with International Standard ISO 5982 (1981) which is used to predict the vertical axis transmissibility of a seat. The fore-and-aft axis transmissibility of a seat with a fore-and-aft axis isolation mechanism was measured and a simple model of the fore-and-aft axis seat-person system is illustrated.
