In subjects exposed to whole-body vibration, the cause of non-linear dynamic characteristics with changes in vibration magnitude is not understood. The e!ect of muscle tension on the non-linearity in apparent mass has been investigated in this study. Eight seated male subjects were exposed to random
Alternative mathematical models of the vertical apparent mass of the seated human body are developed. The optimum parameters of four models (two single-degree-of-freedom models and two two-degree-of-freedom models) are derived from the mean measured apparent masses of 60 subjects (24 men, 24 women,
Subjective and dynamic responses of seated subjects exposed to simultaneous vertical and fore-and-aft sinusoidal wholebody vibration were investigated. The effect of the phase difference between the vertical and the fore-and-aft vibration on the responses was of a particular interest in this study.
