Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Optimum seat pan and back-rest parameters for a comfortable tractor seat

Notas: An experimental set up frabricated to measure the pressure distribution on the seat pan and back-rest of a tractor seat. Results indicate that all the parameters, namely seat pan, back-rest profile curvatures and the back-rest angle of inclination, affect the pressure distribution. It is concluded that a seat pan with radius of curvature 75 cm, back- rest with radius of curvature 30 cm and back-rest seat inclination 10 º are most suitable parameters for Indian tractors operatorsRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 43 nº 2, February 2000 ; p. 167-186Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Tractores Asientos Vehículos Confortabilidad Investigación Agricultura Otros autores: Jorgensen, Michael J.
