Abstract

In this paper, a model of the passive seat suspension system is designed. To verify the model the excitation signals are modelled by using generator embedded to Simulink software. Additionally, the excitation signal is filtered with the use of the Butterworth filters. The vibro-isolation properties of the system are calculated on the basis of the ratio transmissibility of the vibration. The investigations proved that the designed system is correctly modelled and the system damps the vibration speciously in the most dangerous frequency range up to 20 Hz.
