Phd Position Dynamic Analysis and Human Vibration
6 maanden geleden
The aim of this project is to analyse the vibrations transmitted by consumer products to their hands in order to improve their perception. An accurate model of the product dynamics coupled to hand can provide us with predictions on how the vibrations are perceived by the consumers. These predictions from the models can be made at an early stage before any prototypes are made. If unpleasant human perception being predicted, then the vibration levels can be reduced by design modification for healthy products.
First, a numerical model of the product coupled with hand will be generated in order to understand its vibration behaviour and interaction with hand. Initially, a simple model will be proposed, for example a single spring and a damper to be considered as the coupling system and then the number of degrees of freedom/complexity will be increased by adding more elements in order to accurately represent the vibrations of the coupled system.
