the purpose of this study was to assess exposure to hand-arm vibration in tiller users, forty users of tiller in northeastern provinces of iran were examined to measure hand-arm vibration parameters such as root mean square acceleration (rms), total equivalent acceleration, vibration dose value (vdv) and crest factor in three directions (x, y, and z) and various operating modes for comparing th...

background many industrial devices have an excessive vibration which can affect human body systems. the effect of vibration on cochlear histology has been as a debatable problem in occupational health and medicine. objectives due to limitation present in human studies, the research was conducted to survey the influence of vibration on cochlear histology in an animal model. materials and methods...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

in this study, the mf285 tractor engine vibrations resulting from the use of different combinations of biodiesel, bioethanol and diesel as fuel were studied. engine vibrations in three directions and three engine speeds: 1000, 1600 rpm 2000 and ten fuel level was measured. to investigate the influence of measured parameters on engine vibration of factorial design in a randomized complete block ...

background and aims: whole body vibration (wbv) transmitted to drivers is one of the main reasons for several different symptoms such as musculoskeletal disorders. one of the recommendations to decrease the effects of whole body vibration is using a device that acts as an isolator. in this study, we used an air cushion as a device to decrease wbv. we measured whole body vibration transmitted to...
