Assessment of the effect of passenger car wheel unbalance on driving comfort

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations of the effects of car wheel unbalance on driving safety and comfort. Basic information about types of wheel unbalance, their causes, and effects are included. The test subject was a BMW 3 Series car with rear-wheel drive. A specific unbalance was introduced on the front steered wheels. The vehicle was driven in a straight line on an asphalt road in good condition at speeds between 70 km/h and 140 km/h. During the test runs, acceleration waveforms were recorded from sensors placed on the lower control arm, driver's seat, and steering wheel. The vibration level of the unbalanced wheel increases with the driving speed and with the increase in unbalance. The highest increase in vibration amplitude occurred on the steering wheel at speeds between 100 km/h and 120 km/h. These vibrations have a direct effect on the driver. This is evidenced by negative driver perceptions such as fatigue and driving discomfort. This was also confirmed by the calculated vibration exposure levels. Driving with unbalanced wheels accelerates wear on the tyres, steering, drive, and suspension components of the vehicle.

Computational method for shaping the vibro-isolation properties of semi-active and active systems

The paper deals with an original methodology for modelling and control system design of the semi-active and active systems. At first a generalised simulation model of the vibration reduction system is formulated in such a way that it represents the dynamics of human body exposed to mechanical vibration. Then a novel control system design is proposed in order to adjust force characteristics of the fundamental elements included in the suspension system and consequently to reduce the harmful effects of vibration. Finally, a computational method is experimentally verified by selecting the vibro-isolation properties of an exemplary horizontal seat suspension for a specific input vibration.

Measuring Coupling Forces Woodcutters Exert on Saws in Real Working Conditions

Prolonged exposure to hand–arm vibration (HAV) generated by chainsaws can cause HAV syndrome, i.e., disorders in the upper extremities of forestry workers. Progress of HAV syndrome depends on the intensity of mechanical vibration transmitted throughout the body, which is directly proportional to coupling forces applied by the woodcutter to a vibrating tool. This study aimed to establish a method of measuring coupling forces exerted by chainsaw workers in real working conditions. Coupling forces exerted by workers with their right and left hands were measured with a hydro-electronic force meter. Wood hardness, the type of chainsaw and the kind of forest operation, i.e., felling, cross-cutting or limbing, were considered.
