The impact of the unbalanced rear wheel on the vibrating comfort of the child seat

摘要

The paper presents the results of research on the assessment of vibration comfort of child seats in a passenger car. The research involved the impact of wheel unbalance on the size and frequency characteristics of vibrations to which a small passenger is exposed - a child transported in a standard car seat placed on the back of a car. The studies recorded the acceleration of the car floor, the seat of the child seat and the seat of the car under the child seat, for various speeds. The results were analysed to determine the intensity of the vibrations generated by the unbalanced wheel. Based on the obtained results, the degree of vibration comfort of the child seat has been assessed.
