Automotive are subjected to vibratory loads due to engine and road excitations. Automotive seatings are subjected to random vibrations occurring at various frequency range, hence, it is important to verify vibration transfer paths and alter design for better ergonomic performance. A simple seating system, prototype model mounted on chassis will be manufactured for investigation of vibrations and trace its path. Finite element analysis will be used to perform modal analysis to extract resonant modes and natural frequencies. A pneumatics-based excitation system will be mounted below the prototype to simulate running vehicle. Stiffness, alterations will be done with the help of structural ribs, anti-vibration mounts, etc. Comparative analysis will be done between FEA and experimental results for validation purpose. Results and conclusion will be discussed and suitable future scope will be suggested.
