3209 Experimental Analysis on Passenger Body and Seat Vibrations for High Speed Railway Vehicles

Abstract

This paper studies the complex vibration characteristics of passengers taking the seat for high speed railway vehicles in order to design the comfortable seat from the viewpoint of dynamic vibration. The seat excitation experiments are carried out to measure the vibration characteristics of each part of the passenger body in the vertical and longitudinal directions. The experimental results reveal the fundamental vibration characteristics of each body part and individual characteristics of 9 subjects.
