In the interest of providing more effective evaluations of impact wrench vibration exposures and the development of improved methods for measuring vibration emissions produced by these tools, this study focused on three variables: acceleration measured at the tool surface, vibration exposure duration per test trial, and the amount of torque required to unseat the nuts following a test trial. Fo...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a self-administered scale based on the special features of smartphone. The reliability and validity of the Smartphone Addiction Inventory (SPAI) was demonstrated. METHODS A total of 283 participants were recruited from Dec. 2012 to Jul. 2013 to complete a set of questionnaires, including a 26-item SPAI modified from the Chinese Internet Addiction...

Ground vibration is one of the undesirable results of blasting operations. Different methods have been proposed to predict and control ground vibration that is caused by blasting. These methods can be classified as laboratory studies, fieldwork and numerical modeling. Among these methods, numerical modeling is the one which saves time and cuts costs since it takes into account the basic princip...

Directing at the problem of torsional vibration occurred in the start-up procedures of long shaft drive transmission existed in printing equipment, we raised a variable structure control method based on Variable parameters fuzzy. The method not only displays feature of traditional non-linear variable structure control like nondeference derivation, planning the dynamic process and good capacity ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the extent of hand transmitted vibration exposure problems, particularly hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), among construction workers in Malaysia. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on a construction site in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 243 workers were recruited. Questionnaire interviews and hand examinations were administered to 194 respondents. Vibration mag...

OBJECTIVES International standard ISO 10819 was established in order to quantify the vibration attenuation characteristics of anti-vibration gloves. One problem that exists with the standard is possible misalignment of the palm adaptor that is placed underneath the test glove. If the adaptor becomes misaligned, the measured glove transmissibility will be lower than the actual value. A tri-axial...

A series of wind tunnel model tests and theoretical analyses were conducted to investigate torsion excitation, response and vibration suppression of wind-excited buildings. An aeroelastic model for pure torsion vibration was developed and the aeroelastic test results were compared with those obtained by other Wind tunnel test techniques. The comparison and practice indicated that this type of m...
