Through continued collaboration and the sharing of ideas, data, and results, the
international community of researchers and practitioners has developed an understanding …

Exposure to whole-body vibration is a risk factor for the development of low back pain. In
order to develop a fuller understanding of the response of the seated person to vibration …

Identification of most probable ranges of biodynamic responses of the human body exposed
to whole-body vibration is essential for developing effective integrated human-machine …

It is currently assumed that the same frequency weightings, derived from studies of vibration
discomfort, can be used to evaluate the severity of vibration at all vibration magnitudes from …

Seated human subjects have been exposed to vertical whole-body vibration so as to
investigate the non-linearity in their biodynamic responses and quantify the response in …

Vibration transmission is essential in the design of comfortable vehicle seats but knowledge
is lacking on 3D trunk and head motion and the role of seat back and posture. We …

The effect of variations in posture and vibration magnitude on apparent mass and seat-to-
pelvis pitch transmissibility have been studied with vertical random vibration over the …

The nonlinearity observed in the apparent mass of a seated human body exposed to vertical
vibration demonstrates a decrease in resonance frequency as the vibration magnitude …

Lumped parameter mathematical models representing anatomical parts of the human body
have been developed to represent body motions associated with resonances of the vertical …

Seated subjects have participated in two experiments with fore-and-aft whole-body vibration
to investigate dynamic responses at the seat and footrest in the direction of vibration and in …
