摘要:The article deals with passive suspension system of a seat employing two types of dynamic absorbers. The methodology how to design such a system is explained in the paper. The first type of dynamic absorber is composed by two masses connected to the seat by springs and dampers in parallel configuration. The second one is composed by two sprung masses connected to the seat in the series. The parameters of the seat suspension system and the dynamic absorber parameters were all determined by an optimization process based on genetic algorithms. The objective function for the optimization was to minimize the seats displacements. The vibration reduction of the seat is compared for both investigated cases.
