Abstract

Shaking table tests were conducted on human subjects to obtain dynamic response data and produce dynamic human models. These models are aimed for applications of structural control and organoleptic evaluation of vibration. Reaction forces were measured against sinusoidal sweep excitations. The results showed that, under standing conditions resonant frequencies are around 0.5Hz for lateral reactions, and less than 0.25Hz for front-back reactions, while under sitting conditions they are 2 to 3 Hz for lateral reactions, and 1 to 2 Hz in front-back reactions. SDOF model and 2DOF model were identified as human models based on these tests.
