A simulation program has been developed to evaluate operator seat vibration for earth-moving machinery and decide whether a seat meets the requirements imposed by ISO 7096. An operator seat is assumed as a linear system composed of a mass, a spring, and a damper mounted on a platform. The program evaluates the transmissibility at resonance, and the SEAT factors for a light person and a heavy person. The developed program can be utilized effectively in designing a new operator seat.

In earth moving construction equipment used for rough and dangerous works, seat suspension system is the only means for reducing the vibration transmitted to the operator. Thus ISO(International Organization for Standardization) 7096 suggests a recommendation for the vibration characteristics of the seat suspension system in order to protect the human beings from excessive vibrationl. In this research, a new mechanical type seat suspension system is designed and a mathematical model, effective design parameters of the seat suspension system are determined and concept design strategy is presented.
