Validation of a new index for seat comfort assessment based on objective and subjective measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work aims at validating a new statistical index (Weighted Pressure Comfort Loss, WPCL) for seat comfort assessment. The validation is carried out by deepening the relationship between subjective comfort evaluations and objective measures of seat comfort and comparing, from an engineering standpoint, the new index with the pressure peak which is currently one of the most used indexes for seat comfort assessment.

متن کاملA Nonlinear Voltage Stability Index based on Vector Analysis Method and Measurements of Active and Reactive Powers of Power System
This paper proposes a new voltage stability assessment method based on vector analysis method. This index extraction process relies on measurements of active and reactive powers from connected buses to the generator buses. Therefore, a limit for beginning of voltage collapse is determined based on the maximum power transfer theory. On the other hand, when the system requires load shedding, a ne...

متن کاملA NEW APPROACH IN FAILURE MODES AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS BASED ON COMPROMISE SOLUTION BY CONSIDERING OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE WEIGHTS WITH INTERVAL-VALUED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SETS
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a well-known risk analysis approach that has been conducted to distinguish, analyze and mitigate serious failure modes. It demonstrates the effectiveness and the ability of understanding and documenting in a clear manner; however, the FMEA has weak points and it has been criticized by some authors. For example, it does not consider relative importanc...
