This paper introduces experimental results related to the vibration ride conditions that a korean male subject experienced in the nationwide railway trains and the express bus. Two types of railway train's Saemaulho and Mugunghwaho. and the express bus were chosen to measure how much the whole-body vibrations on the contact area of the back , hip and feet are exposed to the subject. Measured vibration signals were analysed to assess the rife conditions quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysed results are illustrated to unveil how much typical public transportation system in Korea expose whole-body vibration to passengers. Futhermore, the performance evaluation of their seats were carried out to examine their effectiveness in reducing vibration exposure to passengers.

This paper introduces the experimental results of ride values assessed for several passenger cars. The experiment was conducted at four vehicles on two roads for three persons by measuring the acceleration in the 12-axis of human. The results include the comparison of the ride values, such as the component ride values, overall ride value, and seat effective amplitude transmissibiity. It is proved that acceleration between 1 and 15Hz is the most significant in evaluating the ride quality. The contribution of the acceleration in each measurement axis is quantified from the component ride value. SEAT value shows a relatively low sensitivity for the road condition and human mass.

This paper introduces experimental results of whole-body vibration exposed through the contact area between automotive seat and human body. Such vibration experiment was carried out for five automotive seats in use and four Korean individuals. Interestingly, the quantitative assessment of the ride values of the tested seats do not only enable us to judge the footnotes the Korean technology in automotive seat has left so far, but also lead to the systematic way of improving their ride quality, in addition in Korean automotive seats raised in this paper.

This paper addresses a systematic way of understanding the transfer characteristics of whole-body vibration due to the external excitation. Amirouche's and Tamaoki's models are considered, whose analysis shows a new result that resonant frequencies related to the head vibration are well coincided with those of the body. This point reveals that the improvement of the ride quality of passenger cars can be achieved by isolating only external vibration components transfered to the body. Finally, this paper points out the limitation of previous whole-body vibration models, which gives the motivations of setting up more 'practical and generalized' whole-body vibration models of interests in this study.

In this paper, 3-dimensional numerical model of an escalator is developed to study the vibration characteristics. This proposed model is able to consider the elastic deformation of the frame during transient dynamic analysis. Deformation modes which are used to calculate the elastic deformation are selected from the FE model analysis. Because low frequency vibration is very important to the ride quality of fore/aft direction, low frequency deformation modes of the frame below 20Hz are considered. To show validity of this dynamics model, longitudinal acceleration of a step is compared with test data in frequency domain. Then robust design technique is applied to determine important design factors and improve ride quality with small number of experiments.

In this study, 3-dimensional linear and non-linear vehicle models are proposed to improve ride quality. The simulations of a vehicle passing over a bump were performed with those two vehicle models. The dynamic responses of the models were analyzed in time-domain and frequency-domain. Then, discomforts in each vibration axis and the combined-axes were evaluated based on the vibrations of the proposed models. The actual vehicle test results in time domain and frequency domain. Also, the discomfort values were compared. Then the validity of those two models were verified. Also, the design parameters of the suspension system are proposed for improving the ride quality.

To improve the riding comfort and to increase the speed of high-speed railway, it needs active suspension system for railway more and more. In Korea, Korean Train Express (KTX) was opened to commercial traffic 2years ago. Korea High-speed Railway (HSR 350x) is being developed and succeeded 350km/h test run. With the increase of the speed, the vibration control of the high-speed railway becomes important to meet high ride quality. In this paper, we suggest the install of lateral damper to HSR 350x. The result shows better ride quality.

The ride quality has become a key component of not only design but car selling as the technology developed and the requirement of passengers grew up. Thus car industry invests lots of time and cost for the higher ride quality. The evaluation of the ride quality mainly is expressed by subjective element that drivers felt. In this paper, instead of the original transfer path analysis method, relatively new methods such as OPAX(Operational path analysis with eXogeneous inputs) and OTPA(operational transfer path analysis) are used for analyzing the main hindrance element of ride quality. With those new method, contribution rate of all paths that the vibration propagate along analyzed after driving test on the roads having different characteristic. The comprehensive hindrance elements of ride quality are deduced from the contribution rate and the improve experiment by changing one of hindrance elements for higher ride quality.

본 연구에서는 수직 진동에 노출된 승객의 승차감을 정량적으로 분석하기 위해 점탄성 특성을 가진 시트에 기댄 인체의 동적 모델링을 제시한다. 시트 위 인체의 운동을 기술하기 위해 문헌에서 찾은 5자유도계 다물체 동역학 모델이 이용되었다. 철도차량 시트에 사용되는 점탄성 특성은 비선형 강성 특성과 시간 지연을 표현하는 컨볼루션 적분으로 수식화된다. 바닥 가진에 대한 전달함수를 분석 결과 시트의 비선형 특성으로 인해 입력 가진의 크기에 따라 전달함수는 변하는 것으로 나타났다. 측정된 철도차량의 바닥 가진을 이용하여 실제적인 인체 진동 특성을 분석한다. 주파수 가중치 자승평균치 값을 계산하고 시트 설계 파라미터가 이 주파수 가중치 자승평균치에 미치는 영향을 제시한다.
