Vibration effects examination of cushions used on tractor driving seat

Abstract

Vibration effect of driver's seat of agricultural tractor which works in land condition has been researched. In this research, three different cushions on driver's seat have been used. These are wool, sponge and cotton. Pad acceleration receiver is put on seat. Moreover, HVM100 tool has been used to record data. Data has been converted to graphs in BLAZE software. Statistical methods have been used in examining the graphs. In vibration isolation, ordering has been achieved as wool, cotton and sponge and without a cushion, respectively. Wool cushion has the best isolation. It is seen that data obtained from test results is appropriate according to ISO 2631 standards and scientific researches.
