Vibration Ride Comfort Criteria

Abstract
This paper presents results obtained from a test program being conducted at Langley Research Center to develop an empirical model for predicting passenger comfort responses to multiaxis vibrations. The specific results contained in this paper are restricted to a description and understanding of human response to complex vertical axis vibrations. The approach to multifrequency vibration includes a separate consideration of the discomfort associated with each frequency component or band of the total spectrum, and a subsequent empirical weighting of the discomfort components of these frequency bands when in various random combinations. Mathematically, this may be represented as:
