Abstract:Backpack transportation is commonly used in daily life. Reducing the cost of the backpack on the human body is a widely researched subject. Suspended-load backpacks (SUSBs) based on forced vibration can effectively reduce the cost during movement. The intrinsic frequency of the SUSB is determined by the elastic components of the SUSB. Previous researchers used pulleys and rubber ropes as the elastic components. We propose a pre-compression design strategy based on pre-compression springs. Compared with previou… Show more
