Methodology for the Experimental Determination of Tractor Vibroacoustic Characteristics

The methodology for conducting field measurements of a tractor's vibroacoustic characteristics is presented – specifically, vibration acceleration at the tractor operator's workplace, as well as in the most vibration-stressed locations. The methodology for determining the equivalent noise level at the operator's workplace and at key points for creating a noise map is also outlined. This methodology will allow for the verification of mathematical models of vibration and noise propagation, taking into account the specific design features of the tractor.
