Description
Summary:Seat comfort design is one of the research focuses in the user experience design for vehicles. In this paper, we take the common wheel tractor as the design object. Based on the Fast Fourier Transform analysis method, we analyze the vertical vibration characteristics of the seat under different speed and different vehicle conditions. The results show that when the driving speed increases, the impact of empty car on seat vibration is more obvious than that when the load is loaded. Beside, when the test speed is the highest, the seat vibration is the most severe. The seat vibration is a low-frequency vibration with the natural frequency less than 2 Hz, which avoids the sensitive frequency range of human body and makes the seat comfortable. The test results provide theoretical support for the damping user experience design of the seat.
