Modelling a seat-person system in the vertical and fore-and-aft axes
Modelling a seat-person system in the vertical and fore-and-aft axes
The optimization of seats requires dynamic models of the seat-person system for both the vertical (z-) and fore-and-aft (x-) axes. The z-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 z-axis transmissibility of a seat. The x-axis transmissibility of a seat with an x-axis isolation mechanism was measured and a simple model of the x-axis seat-person system is illustrated.

Abstract
The optimization of seats requires dynamic models of the seat-person system for both the vertical (z-) and fore-and-aft (x-) axes. The z-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 z-axis transmissibility of a seat. The x-axis transmissibility of a seat with an x-axis isolation mechanism was measured and a simple model of the x-axis seat-person system is illustrated.
