Lundström, Ronnie, 1985. Vibration exposure of the glabrous skin of the human hand. Umeå University, Medical Dissertions, New Series, 136. An occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration can cause a complex of neu­ rological, vascular and musculo-skeletal disturbances, known as the 'vibra­ tion syndrome'. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not at all clear. Early signs of ...

The use of distinguishable complex vibrations that have multiple spectral components can improve the transfer of information by vibrotactile interfaces. We investigated the qualitative characteristics of dual-frequency vibrations as the simplest complex vibrations compared to single-frequency vibrations. Two psychophysical experiments were conducted to elucidate the perceptual characteristics o...

Chatter vibrations are present in almost all cutting operations and they are the major obstacles in achieving desired surface finish. Chatter vibrations are the self excited vibrations, which has an adverse effect on surface roughness, dimensional accuracy of the machined components. This paper investigates the occurrence of regenerative chatter vibrations in centerless bar turning operation. T...

in this paper deflection and free vibration of sandwich panel is studied. the core of sandwich panels is made of hexagonal honeycomb and faces are made of two different materials of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and k-aryl/epoxy covering. the governing equations are deduced from the first order sheer deformation theory (fsdt) and they are solved using generalized differential quadrature metho...

The variable thickness annular radial piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer can realize impedance transformation and energy concentration, has the advantages of large radiation area full directivity, is widely used in power ultrasound, underwater acoustic other fields. Because solving complex metal ring vibration wave equation more difficult, this paper, rings with transformed into superposition ...

This paper presents an overview of an interactive multimedia vibrations program called GT Vibrations. GT Vibrations contains a series of modules that deal with elementary vibrations, transient vibrations, and continuous systems. The program is intended to be used as a supplemental tool for undergraduate courses in vibrations and system dynamics at Georgia Tech. The underlying goal of the progra...

Sensory systems are designed to extract behaviorally relevant information from the environment. In seeking to understand a sensory system, it is important to understand the environment within which it operates. In the present study, we seek to characterize the natural scenes of tactile texture perception. During tactile exploration complex high-frequency vibrations are elicited in the fingertip...

one of the most important challenges in the development of urban railways network is the effects of railway vibrations on human and adjacent structures. although various investigations into the sources of railway vibrations have been conducted, very few research works have been reported on the influences of track geometry parameters on the level of vibrations. this is addressed in this research...
