The vibration velocities of the seat platform and traditional mechanical reduction vibration device were measured through tests, which provided certain basis for proposing and design of the parallel mechanism with six degree of freedom in subsequent paragraphs. Adopting the parallel mechanism as the main part of the seat and the active joints with spring damping elements as the reduction vibrat...

A growing issue in the area of vehicular ride comfort is that of child safety seats. Postural, thermal and vibrational comfort considerations are finding their way into child seat design. This paper makes some observations regarding the current state of child safety seat design, then goes on to present the results of vibration tests performed over two road surfaces using two child seats and two...

The hand-arm vibration syndrome affects workers who perform tasks that generate vibration. Raynaud's phenomenon and sensory impairment of the fingers are the predominant effects. A history of hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure in a patient with these symptoms should alert the physician to the diagnosis. Referral to a special clinic or hospital department for multiple clinical tests is required t...

The Resonalyser method uses resonance frequencies measured on rectangular plate specimens to identify orthotropic material properties. An inverse technique is used to update the material properties in a numerical model of the test plate. The obtained material properties of steel and aluminum test plates are validated with the results of standard impulse excitation tests and standard tensile tes...

BACKGROUND Long-term exposure to hand-held vibrating tools may cause the hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) including vibration induced white fingers and sensorineural symptoms. The aim was to study early neurosensory effects by quantitative vibrotactile and monofilament tests in young workers with hand-held vibration exposure. METHODS This cross-sectional study consisted of 142 young, male m...

In this study, the structural performance of the gravity-type caisson structure is assessed from vibration-based system identification. To achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, a structural identification algorithm based on the use of vibration characteristics is outlined. Structural stiffness and damping are selected as two key parameters to be identified fo...

The vibration fatigue durability of eutectic Sn37Pb and near-eutectic Pb-free Sn3.9Ag0.6Cu solders is quantified, based on test data available from the literature [1]. The tests use random broad-band excitation (between 20Hz & 2000Hz), on selected SAC and SnPb surface mount interconnect styles. In the test, step-stress excitation was applied in the out-of-plane direction by increasing the RMS e...

Influence of whole-body vibration on reaction times was studied on a specially developed rig, with the subjects being exposed to no vibration, and vibration frequencies of 1, 5, 20 and 50 Hz. The shortest reaction times for both, sound and visual stimuli were measured for no vibration of the seating platform. The most detrimental influence was observed at vibration frequency of 5 Hz, with react...
