... and vibration isolation performance for vehicles with predominantly low frequency ride vibration.” For heavy vehicles, the seated operators are often subject to high level shock and vibration, and this has motivated research into seat suspension systems. The concept of asymmetric damping for seat...

...EI Rivin,, Author Chapter 1— Dynamic Properties of Vibration Isolation Systems : Commences with the basic analysis of the dynamics of an undamped six-degree-of-freedom system followed by single and two-degrees-of-freedom systems under viscous damping or hysteretic damping and a brief discussion...
