chainsaw is an important machine for tree felling limbing and bucking in hyrcanian forest and the major problems related to using forest machines was sound intensity. the aim of this study was to measure the sound level in occupational exposure of workers, determine the exposure time of workers and comparison of the variables among the workers. this study was carried out in namkhaneh district i...

hand-arm vibration can cause vascular, neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, collectively named as hand-arm vibration syndrome. the chainsaw is a portable machine that exposes own operators to high levels of hand-arm vibrations. this research focuses on vibration transmissibility from chainsaw handle to wrist and arm of operator. the vibration acceleration signals necessary for evaluation...

The average maximum acceleration levels of chain saws by the one-third octave band analyzer decreased considerably from 5.1 G (range: 2.5 to 8.0 G) during 1965-1975 to 1.7 G (range: 1.0 to 2.5 G) during 1976-1988. The effects of this reduced vibration level on the prevalence of vibration syndrome were studied by comparing two groups of male chain-saw workers: 285 who started to use chain saws b...

Introduction: A bullet type sampler is sometimes used to obtain a sample from an asteroid on samplereturn missions [1]. On the other hand, in-situ analysis is demanded for the investigation of more amount of rock samples. Many drilling or coring devices have been developed [2-5]. Slicing the rock sample is preferable to observe its interior rather than shaving [6]. Because coolant cannot use in...
