original article   noise and vibration are the common problems in industrialized countries which can affect individual's job performance. the present study aimed to investigate the combination of the whole body vibration and the noise and their effects on the students' mental performance in the laboratory setting. twenty male students of tehran university of medical sciences, tehran, iran were ...

Generally speaking, a vibration system consists of three parts: vibration resource, vibration transfer path, and vibration receiver. Based on the dynamic sensitivity technique, this paper proposes a method for evaluating the contribution of each vibration transfer path to the dynamic response of the vibration receiver. Nonlinear stiffness is an important factor in causing the nonlinearity of vi...

manual citrus harvesting is commonly performing hard, expensive and time consuming. in this study, a factorial experiment with a completely randomized design in three replications was performed to find out the effect of frequency (three levels of 5, 7.5 and 10 hz), vibration time (three levels of 10, 15 and 20 seconds) on harvesting capacity and losses of thomson cultivar of orange. the results...

improper transportation of agricultural materials causes mechanical damage to them. the damage isdepended to the physical and mechanical properties of the product and properties of the appliedforce. vibration generated by vehicles during road transportation causes shake the product, contactit with carrier bin and other components, tissues deformation and damage to product. this researchwas cond...

whole body vibration can deteriorate health bringing about or back pain or spinal column injury, resulted from continuing exposure to vibration. also exposure to vibration can cause disorder in central nervous system and adversely influence vascular and skeletal systems. in this research, the vibration of universal 650m tractor seat and its effect on the operator in five levels of engine speeds...

A novel approach for mode shape feature extraction and model updating of axisymmetric structures based on radial Tchebichef moment (RTM) descriptors is proposed in this study. The features extracted by RTM can effectively compress the full-field modal vibration data retain most important information. reconstruction shapes using accurately describe shapes, simulation shows that function superior...
