Cover Story: The image shows a typical driving posture with hands on the steering wheel at the zero position. The muscles in the arm are lumped together with linear compliance, i.e., stiffness and damping parameters. The top plot shows the frequency response from driving torque to steering speed. With different initial postures, i.e., different initial steering angle conditions, the maximum arm stiffness reduces, as does the eigenfrequency with an increased steering angle from the center position. The bottom plot shows a quasi-static normalized elbow joint torque response over steering angle, given a linear steering stiffness. This helps us to understand the true non-linear response of the joint due to driving posture only. View this paper.
