Abstract

Language:

Ride comfort is a vital aspect in vehicle design, impacted by various factors including road conditions, vehicle dynamics, and occupant posture. This study aims to optimize the seat pan angle for enhanced ride comfort by employing a finite element model to represent the human spine in a seated position. The model incorporates a three-dimensional representation of the spine, including cervical to coccyx vertebrae, ligaments, and discs, validated against existing modal frequency data. By applying a sinusoidal vertical acceleration of 0.1 g to simulate road-induced vibrations, the dynamic response of the human body was analyzed through metrics such as seat-to-head transmissibility and intervertebral disc pressure. The results indicate that the optimum seat pan angle for improved ride comfort is between 15 and 19 degrees. This research provides a foundation for future explorations into human body comfort and seat design, ultimately leading to enhanced seating solutions tailored for varied ride conditions.
