Driver's feeling is variously affected by lots of components such as engine, frame, wheels, and seats during the operation of automobiles. The main objective of this research is to identify the correlation between subjective evaluation and vibration metrics that was set by ISO to investigate development of the car vibration quality index using multiple linear regressions(MLR). A previous research related with automotive vibration quality used the method of calculating acceleration values of the point of a seat, a seat back, foot as RMS for objective evaluation. The automotive comfort is determined by RMS values. In comparison with the previous research, this study includes not only the vibration metrics, but also subjective values by jury evaluation. By indentifying the correlation between subjective evaluation and vibration metrics, the automotive vibration quality index is developed through MLR. Based on the results of this study, the proposed the automotive vibration quality index which developed through MLR will be helpful to obtain objective and reliable automotive comfort values.

Extraordinary displacement and vibration by heavy vehicle causes passengers to feel mental uncomfortableness and bridge to be damaged. To increase serviceability, the research on the human influence for vibration to happen at the bridge has been performed for a long time in oversea but it does not draw concern relatively in the domestic. The purpose of this research is to develop an evaluation method for vibration serviceability of continuous slab bridge. This research is focused on establishing theoretical method to assess vibration serviceability of bridge considering natural frequency, displacement, and acceleration since the criteria for the human responses to vibration is generally based on frequency band. By examining the characteristics of vibration serviceability which has been assessed with human response curve through field experiments as well as analytical study, the evaluation method of vibration serviceability for continuous slab bridges is proposed. Based on applications to the example of continuous slab bridge, the simple evaluation of vibration serviceability in the paper may be used in the initial step of design practice.

The ride comfort is one of the important dynamic performances of railway vehicle and is affected by the various factors, such as vibration, sound, temperature, humidity, etc. In general, vibration is known to be a major effect of rode comfort. There are many studies on the evaluation methods of ride comfort in the railway vehicle vibration. Each of the evaluation methods suggested by Spelling and in the standards recommends a different evaluation method and guidance. So users must review whether they can apply it to their railway system or not. In this study, we have suggested the relationship between several evaluation methods using the statistical vibration model based on the experimental data.

With the recent increase in development projects centered on urban areas, the construction of building structures is increasing in areas adjacent to the urban railway operation section. In this case, since ground vibration is generated by the train in operation and affects the adjacent structure, the building structure needs appropriate vibration reduction against train vibration generated at the adjacent location from the desing phase. However, the vibration levels calculated vary depending on the train vibration evaluation method, which means that the implementation of vibration reduction may vary depending on the train vibration evaluation method. Therefore, this study calculated the vibration level according to ground conditions, tunnel depth and separation distance between vibration sources and adjacent structures using numerical analysis and train vibration evaluation methods, and compared them to designning phase. And the appropriate separation distance between the tunnel and the adjacent structure was evaluated by comparing the vibration level with the allowable standards. As a result of the study, the Ungar and Bender evaluation method is evaluated as the most appropriate among the train vibration evaluation methods, and the appropriate separation distance between the tunnel and the adjacent structure is evaluated to be more than 4.5D.

This paper presents a proof-of-concept study on the evaluation of torsional vibration isolation performance through in-situ output torque measurement by using a non-contacting magneto-elastic torque transducer installed in the vehicle driveline system. The de-trending processing is first conducted to extract the torsional vibration from the measured driveline output torque. In order to estimate the transmissibility, primary performance indicator of a vibration isolator, the magnitude of transmitted torsional vibration with different frequencies is compared. From the conservative estimation results, the torsional damper built in a lock-up clutch of a torque converter is identified to be a vibration isolator. The evaluation results show that the fluid damping by torque converter outperforms the vibration isolation function of a torsional damper, and the isolation performance needs to be enhanced.

In the case of a vibration sensitive equipment, it require a vibration free environment to provide its proper function, therefore, it is very important to predict precisely vibration environment of microelectronics production facility due to adjacent blast work. However, it is not easy to evaluate a quantitative vibration response of structure due blast because it can be determined by the characteristics of vibration sources, propagation through rock and soil and dynamic properties of building. In this paper, vibration influence evaluation of micro-electronic Production building induced from adjacent blast activity was performed by real measurement data obtained on ground and structure at same time. And blast vibration allowable limit on ground was supposed by measurement data analysis in order to avoid operation error of precision equipments

Thirteen taxi drivers as the subject in the experiment were exposed to vertical vibration which is controlled on a rigid seat reflecting vibration on passenger vehicle. They were employed not only to get human response of objective measurement but also to make subjective evaluation of the vibration. The subjective evaluation was estimated using the absolute discomfort threshold of the controlled vibration, which was achieved with the three-down one-up method that is widely used in the field of psychophysics. As the result, apparent mass and apparent eccentric mass as objective human response tend to gradually decrease when frequency of the vibration increases. The absolute discomfort threshold was increased in case of increasing the frequency. Concludingly, the subjective discomfort evaluation is highly correlated with the objective human responses at the range of idle vibration on passenger vehicle.
