In this work, which is based on research supported by the Scientific Foundation of Serbia, optimization of oscillatory parameters of a seat with hydraulic feedback was carried out from the aspect of mutual minimization of the vertical vibrations of the human body and the dynamic forces between the seat frame and the body. Optimization was carried out by using the Hooke-Jeeves method, using the hydraulic seat model and taking into consideration the sensitivity of the human body to vibrations. The developed method can be standardized and applied to other seat models.

N2 - An ergonomic study, performed at several diamond processing setups, points out the lack of ergonomics design of the polishing workstation, which causes injuries in the upper extremity muscular skeletal system, such as neuritis ulnaris, carpal tunnel syndrome, strains and forms of arthritis, which often afflict diamond polishers. The paper addresses itself to the prevailing polishing tasks resulting from the production cell and working procedures currently used in most of the diamond industrial setups all over the world. It presents a design analysis by which future workstations and operators' task characteristics can be changed due to ergonomic and technological criteria.
