Identification of damping and stiffness parameters of cervical and lumbar spines of supine humans under vertical whole-body vibration

This work presents a methodology to estimate the unknown damping and stiffness parameters of supine humans at the cervical and lumbar regions while reducing errors presented in the data. Modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios, and eigenvectors) determined from experiments on 11 supine...
