Vibration-reducing (VR) gloves have been used to reduce the hand-transmitted vibration
exposures from machines and powered hand tools but their effectiveness remains unclear …

The objective of this study is to enhance the understanding of the vibration transmission in
the hand-arm system in three orthogonal directions (X, Y, and Z). For the first time, the …

The application of a noncontact physiological recording technique, based on the method of
laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV), is described. The effectiveness of the LDV method as a …

In this study, we investigated the effect of grip forces, push forces and two arm postures on
the biodynamic response of the human hand-arm system for vibration excitation along the …

In the last few decades, a large number of studies have been carried out on vibration
exposure and its transmissibility from the handle of a powered hand tool to the hands of the …

Prolonged, intensive exposure to vibrations from palm and orbital sanders could cause
finger disorders. They are likely to be associated with the biodynamic responses of the …

Objectives Grip and push forces required for the use of vibrating tools are considered
important influencing inputs for the assessment of hand-vibration transmissibility (TR). At …

Petrol driven motorboat engine consisted of direct handle-engine mounting mechanism
which exposed the operators to the high level of vibration and can lead to the Hand-arm …

Aim: In this paper, the authors present a non-contact procedure for the measurement of the
vibration transmissibility of the hand. The procedure is compliant with the actual standard …
