CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MODELING OF A MECHANICAL SYSTEM WITH TWO DEGREES OF FREEDOM CORRESPONDING TO A SEAT – DRIVER SYSTEM

Ioana Alexandra MUSCĂ, Ioan RADU, Nicolae URSU-FISCHER

Abstract


In literature are many mechanical models corresponding to the human body vibration, in standing or sitting position. The characteristic of these models is that the links between the discrete masses are the Kelvin-Voigt rheological systems. The study about the influence of the rheological model characteristics is presented in this paper. The relative motion between the elements of the mechanical system is studied considering different frequencies and damping’s of the support displacement.
