Application of Iterative Newton-Eulers Dynamics Algorithm to Specifying Values of Joint Loads on the Drivers Arm at Spatial Movement
Workload on a driver and, in consequence of it, his tiredness, represents one of the major problems to be resolved recognizing ergonomic principles and harmonizing the driver-vehicle-environment system. This work describes the method of specifying values of joint loads on the drivers arm at spatial movement when the driver operates a vehicle. For this purpose, a dynamic model of the arm is displayed to demonstrate spatial movement, the Newton-Euler s dynamic algorithm being applied to it. This algorithm may be employed to reckon the joint loads if one knows the values of generalized co-ordinates in function of time which are reckoned in this work on the ground of results received upon measuring kinematics values by means of Elites measuring system. Values of forces and the moment are reckoned in all joints of the arm at the said movement by applying the above-mentioned algorithm.
