Abstract
The paper is focused on the minimization of vibration transmitted from electric golf cartwheels to seat and seated person. This vibration appears during golf cart driving on uneven terrain of the golf court. The paper also focuses on improving the driving comfort of transported persons on an electric golf cart. This problem can be solved according to (Svoboda et al. in Bag Development s.r.o. Golfový vozík s bateriovým elektrickým pohonem a sedákem [1]) using the elastic and damping link between cart frame and seat tightly connected to battery of electric power. The designed solution of an additional vibration isolation device comes from measurement in real conditions of kinematic values of the vibration on seat and from experimental laboratory measurement of dynamic parameters of the system. Based on acquired data, the mathematical model of the system was made and dynamic parameters were optimized. This mathematical model of designed solution describes golf cart as system of masses connected with elastic and damping links. The result of mathematical description of designed solution is the reference step response of golf cart seat.
