TableV5: Comparison of human body part and components for cast iron material
Previous analysis of the both material resonance occurs in seat assembly then it requires change natural frequencies of seat isolate from the range of other component frequency and human body for avoiding the resonance phenomenon.
VII. SEAT MODIFICATIONS AND ANALYSIS
The design modification process included the development of a finite element model using Hypermesh that was suitable for computing natural frequency in individual members of the seat assembly under dynamic loadings.
A. Steel and Cast Iron Material for Seat
The new seat assembly model is generated by using both steel and cast iron material because from previous analysis we can find that individual steel or cast iron has resonance frequency so modification of seat can be done with both material are used for assembly of seat for the avoidance of the resonance .
