Design of a vibrating platform for a semi-actively damped seat

Low frequency vibrations caused by driving on uneven terrain can cause health issues to the crew. Virtual simulation of semi-actively controlled shock absorbers suggests that their use in the seats of agricultural machines could significantly lessen the impact of vibrations on the crew. That is why this bachelor's thesis concerns the blue-print of a vibrational platform for testing semi-actively controlled shock absorbers, with a frequency of 1 to 10 Hz and with an upstroke of ± 10mm. This platform would simulate driving on uneven terrain, which would help the development of suitable semi-actively controlled shock absorbers for agricultural seats. The research part of this thesis concerns the overview of the current state of vibrational platforms. The conceptual part focuses on designing multiple conceptual blueprints, their analysis and a decision about a suitable variant. And finally, the constructional part describes manufacturing a design solution of the chosen variant, with a focus on the views of selected construction mechanical parts
