AN EVALUATION TECHNIQUE AND FEASIBILITY STUDY OF SHOCK AND VIBRATION PROTECTION FOR AN EXPERIMENTAL DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE 8-TON, 4X4 CARGO TRUCK, XM520E1,
Abstract
A study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of improving the shock and vibration protection offered by a seat for the driver of the 8-Ton, 4x4 Cargo Truck, XM520E1. The major phases of this study were: (a) Planning a quantitative method of evaluation and the required instrumentation for determining the effectiveness of shock and vibration protection. (b) Applying certain engineering principles from a human factors viewpoint to explore the possibilities of increasing shock and vibration protection for the operator of the XM520E1. (c) A test and subsequent quantitative evaluation of the experimental seat, as compared with the present vehicle seat. (Author)
