The concept of mechanical impedance represents the interactive relationship between
deformation kinematics and the resulting dynamics in human joints or limbs. A major …

The transmission of vibration through a seat depends on the impedance of the seat and the
apparent mass of the seat occupant. This study was designed to determine how factors …

The dependence of biodynamic responses of the seated human body on the frequency,
magnitude and waveform of vertical vibration has been studied in 20 males and 20 females …

Biodynamic responses of the seated human body are usually measured and modelled
assuming a single point of vibration excitation. With vertical vibration excitation, this study …

Frequency weightings for predicting vibration discomfort assume the same frequency-
dependence at all magnitudes of vibration, whereas biodynamic studies show that the …

Biodynamic models of seated body exposed to whole-body vibration are considered
important for design of vibration control devices and anthropodynamic surrogates for …

The biodynamic response of the seated human body has been investigated with 20 males
exposed to upward and downward shocks at 13 fundamental frequencies (1–16 Hz) and 18 …

Biodynamic models have been developed to predict the dynamic spinal forces induced by
whole-body vibration but the effects of sitting posture and backrest conditions on these …

Several studies have measured the vibration transmitted to and through the human body
under vibration training conditions. However, no work has modelled the apparent mass of …

The discomfort caused by vertical vibration depends on the magnitude and frequency of
vibration, but little is known about how discomfort depends on the magnitude and frequency …
