• Description:
  Three methods (vibration transmissibility method, driving-point response method, and their combined method) have been generally used to calibrate human vibration models using frequency response functions. However, the theoretical basis for the methodology has not been sufficiently understood. As a result, these methods were not appropriately used in some studies, which generated some questionable results and conclusions. The objectives of this study are to enhance the understanding of the calibration methods and to help properly select and use them in the further development of the models.
