Abstract:

A conceptual design was proposed for a seat with two-stage semi-active impact-resistant soft-landing control by using a four-degree-of-freedom lumped-parameter human body model established by authors to protect the occupants in special vehicles under explosion impacts. The validity of the model was verified through vertical impact dynamics simulation; A damper mechanical model was established based on a magnetorheological damper Hysteretic model; The correlation coefficients of the damper mechanical model were identified on a vibration test bench. The shock resistances and the vibration damping performances of the seat were investigate by a simulation model of the two-stage semi-active seat suspension system. The results show that compared with the original design, the seat designed by authors reduces the occupant’s head peak acceleration by 42.5%, with reducing the maximum effective amplitude transfer rate of the seat by 19.4%. Therefore, the seat improves comfort, reduces the occupant head injury risk, and meets the anti-explosion performance requirements.
