Measurement and Analysis of Horizontal Vibration of Standing Human Body

Abstract:

Vibration problem has been destroying the harmony between human being and nature. In order to analyze the effect of vibration on human body, twenty subjects were exposed to random vibration in fore-and-aft, lateral direction in standing position. The accelerations at head, abdomen and leg of each subject were measured. The response was analyzed by means of acceleration sat the measured points and their Fourier spectra and transfer function. The results show that the response curves of all of the subjects in the same direction are substantially the same. The resonance frequencies decreased in different degree. A principal resonance peak around 0.6Hz at different body parts of the same subject. The research results can provide a reference for human body modeling and human comfort evaluation.
