Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to measure and quantify perceived intensity of discomfort due to vibration in a vehicle in situ considering complete vehicle dynamic behaviour.
The shaker table based discomfort curves or the road test results may not accurately and universally indicate the true level of human discomfort in a vehicle.
A new experimental method, using a seated human in a car on the four-post rig simulator, is proposed to quantify discomfort.
The intensity of perception to vibration decreased with decreasing input and increasing frequency; the rate of change is different from the published literature; the difference is large for angular modes of inputs.
Vehicle dynamic response is used to inform and analyse the results.
The repeatability of the method and the fact that they are in situ measurements may eventually help reduce reliance on the road tests.
Furthermore, discomfort curves obtained, subsequently, can be used in predictive models.
