The Research Project
This project will evaluate the relationship between multi-axial whole body vibration (WBV), seating design, and operator comfort. Workplace exposure to WBV poses a significant health problem. Many studies evaluated the effects of singleaxis vibration, but none have addressed the interaction of vibrations in several degrees of freedom simultaneously.
