VIRTUAL ELASTIC COMPONENT SIMULATOR

The present invention provides a which enables a person to experience the effect of change of an actual elastic component of a vehicle for an elastic component of another design without changing the actual elastic component. A vehicle elastic component simulator having a first arithmetic unit, a second arithmetic unit and a third arithmetic unit for calculating a transfer function through test vibration, obtaining the inverse transfer function of the calculated transfer function and determining vibrating signals by multiplying the inverse transfer function by desired signals produced on the basis of the output signals of accelerometer provided during the travel of the vehicle includes a fourth arithmetic unit which calculates the ratio between a transfer function for an elastic component of the vehicle, and a transfer function for a virtual elastic component corresponding to the elastic component, entered by an input device, a fifth arithmetic unit for multiplying vibrating signals in a frequency range by the calculated ratio, and a vibrating system driven by vibrating signals provided by the fifth arithmetic unit to vibrate the vehicle to provide virtual elastic component simulation.
