  2. 1. Vibration exposure of the glabrous skin of the human hand

    Author : Ronnie Lundström; Ludwik Liszka; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vibration; hand; skin; mechanical impedance; mechanoreceptors; tactile perception; high-frequency;

    Abstract : An occupational exposure to hand-arm vibration can cause a complex of neurological, vascular and musculo-skeletal disturbances, known as the 'vibration syndrome'. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not at all clear. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hand-arm vibration and working women : Consequences and affecting factors

    Author : Sonya H Bylund; Lage Burström; Anders Knutsson; Eva Vingård; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Public health; HAV; vibration; women; injuries; power absorption; handle; gender; Folkhälsomedicin; Public health medicine research areas; Folkhälsomedicinska forskningsområden; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : The use of hand-held vibrating tools may lead to hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), a condition with vascular, neurological and musculoskeletal symptoms. Vibrating tools are used in several occupations in which women can be found, e.g. by metal- and wood workers, drivers, and dental personnel. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vibration-based Assessment of Tensegrity Structures

    Author : Nasseradeen Ashwear; Eriksson Anders; Thomas Abrahamsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tensegrity; Pre-stress; Vibration; Health monitoring; Buckling; Temperature effect; Vibration health monitoring VHM; Optimization; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Vibration structural health monitoring (VHM) uses the vibration properties to evaluate many civil structures during the design steps, building steps and service life.The whole function, expressed by stiffness and frequencies of tensegrity structures are primarily related to the level of pre-stress.

  6. 4. Vibration Frequencies as Status Indicators for Tensegrity Structures

    Author : Nasseradeen Ashwear; Anders Eriksson; Karl-Gunnar Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tensegrity; Pre-stress; Vibration; Health monitoring; Buckling; Temperature effect; Vibration health monitoring VHM; Tensegritet; Förspänning; Vibration; Hälsokontroll; Knäckning; Temperatureffekt; Vibrationsbaserad hälsokontroll; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract :  Applications of vibration structural health monitoring (VHM) techniques are increasing rapidly. This is because of the advances in sensors and instrumentation during the last decades. VHM uses the vibration properties to evaluate many civil structures during the design steps, building steps and service life. READ MORE
