Abstract

The aim of the present work is to investigate theoretically the vibration characteristics of the driver body components due to road surface irregularities, when changing the characteristics of suspension system components,  A mathematical model representing the vehicle and the driver, and contains five degrees of freedom, has been built-up and analyzed. A computer program has been written based on the transfer matrices concept, and used in the frequency range up to 15 Hz, Finally, this work is considered a step towards obtaining useful technical protection data against vibration. The results indicate that the vibration characteristics of the driver body (ride comfort) are influence by the characteristics of the vehicle suspension system components.
