Abstract: For today vehicles, ride comfort and dynamic control, are crucial criteria for customers and also for the selection of an appropriate vehicle. Tractors as vehicles are exposed to random vibrations caused by unevenness of road or soil profile, moving elements within the tractor or implements, while setting on a rigid seat without a backrest. Whole-body vibration transmission influences comfort, performance, and long-term health of the operator. This current study is to evaluate and controlled an agricultural tractor whole-body vibration comfort efficiency, which constitutes one aspect of the physical environment that can cause discomfort to operators, based on standard mathematical formulae and frequency analyses. A gravel road texture was... |
