Abstract
This paper presents an analytical model possible to be used to study the dynamic behavior of the truck structures under various work regimes. This model is useful to studies on the vibration transmissibility among different elements of the structure, in order to improve the comfort in the truck cab. The studies developed with this model are based on the Finite Element Method and the results are acquired through a transitory dynamic analysis. Experimental validations have been performed upon the analytically obtained results.
Keywords: FEM, vibration transmissibility, truck structure
