Abstract

Commercial drivers feel tired more than the general public, because their driving times are long and they experience more idle vibration. In this study, we developed a nonlinear model of a magnetic, linear spring seat suspension to determine the optimal design to improve ride comfort. The resonant frequency for the optimal design of the suspension was found to be 3.5 Hz, and the stiffness was analyzed through displacement-load experiments. Additionally, the vibration transmissibility was analyzed by the suspension stiffness, and the existing coil spring type vibration transmissibility was found to be 0.99. A parallelogram type magnetic spring was determined to result in a better performance than the existing spring with a vibration transmissibility of 0.823.

상용차 운전자들은 운전시간이 길고, 엔진폭발에 의한 아이들 진동 등으로 인하여 일반인보다 많은 피로감을 느낀다. 본 논문에서는 아이들 진동에 의해 상용차 운전석에 전달되는 진동을 줄여 승차감을 향상시키기 위하여, 마그네틱 스프링을 이용한 시트현가장치를 제안하였다. 또한 최적설계를 통해 평행사변형 마그네틱 현가기구를 설계하였으며 이 제안된 시트를 장착한 차량의 진동 및 성능을 연구하였다. 그 결과 진동 전달률은 코일스프링 현가기구가 0.990, 평행사변형 마그네틱 현가기구는 0.823로 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.
