description As components in direct contact with drivers and passengers in complex and challenging road conditions, automotive seats need to effectively absorb and isolate vibrations from the automotive chassis to minimize any adverse effects on the human body. In response to the issue of inadequate vibration isolation within multiple frequency bands for car seats, which can lead to discomfort for passengers, a vibration-damping seat structure equipped with an eddy current damper using electromagnets as the magnetic field source is proposed, and its vibration suppression characteristics are studied. First, a semi-active suspension damping structure is designed based on an eddy current damping effect. Second, the theoretical model of the semi-active suspension damping structure based on an eddy current effect is established, and the characteristic parameters of adjustable damping and their relationship with the amplitude response are analyzed. Finally, electromagnetic simulation analysis is conducted, and the results are compared with the theoretical model analysis results to verify the analysis, and the vibration suppression law of the semi-active suspension damping structure based on an eddy current effect is explored.
