A STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF VIBRATION ON MAN

Pages 347-355 | Published online: 30 May 2007
 

Abstract

The effects of vertical and horizontal mechanical vibrations up to 100 cycles per second on the human being were examined by physical and physiological methods. Resonance phenomena are described. A strain scale is given for vertical and horizontal vibration excitation. Special examinations of the movement of the head show elliptic vibrations in spite of linear excitation. Vibration measurements in a rail-motorcar provide an example for typical resonance phenomena of the mechanical system formed by a ‘ man sitting on a seat’.
