[Laboratory studies on the subjective evaluation of motor vehicle seats].
Operator seats (Models 050 and 500, Möve) were examined with vertical sinusoidal whole-body vibration (WBV) in the frequency range from 1 to 40 Hz (1.5 and 3.0 ms-2 rms) and with simulated stochastic vibration of combines for the harvest of sugarcane. Six male subjects volunteered for the experiments. The subjective assessments of operator seats by cross-modality matching, paired comparisons, and questionnaires were compared with data of a hard experimental seat. Transmitted WBV and subjective evaluation correlated partially only. Suggestions are derived for the improvement of the seats tested.
