Abstract

This paper develops a continuous standing human body model in vertical vibrations based on an anthropomorphic model and two available natural frequencies of a discrete biomechanics model. Six similar continuous models are assessed using finite element parametric analysis for matching the available natural frequencies. The best of the six models has seven uniform mass segments and two stiffness segments. The mode shapes of the continuous model are presented to demonstrate relative magnitudes of vibration throughout the height of the body. Finally the modal mass and stiffness of the continuous model are evaluated. © Civil-Comp Press, 2011.
