β¦ Synopsis
Five subjects were exposed to a thirty-minuie period low-frequency, narrow band, random vertical vibration spectrum, with frequency peak at 2.5 Hz and an r.m.s. "g" of 0-23, and with some low frequency acoustic noise, during which they were asked to perform a simple vigilance task. The effect of this low frequency random vertical vibration on the task is discussed in this paper.

The power absorbed by 12 male subjects during exposure to vertical whole-body vibration at six magnitudes of random vibration (0β’25, 0β’5, 1β’0, 1β’5, 2β’0 and 2β’5 ms -2 r.m.s.) has been measured in the laboratory. All subjects showed greatest absorbed power at about 5 Hz, but the frequency of this peak
The discomfort of seated subjects exposed to a wide range of vertical mechanical shocks has been studied experimentally. Shocks were produced from responses of single degree-of-freedom models with 16 fundamental frequencies (0.5-16 Hz) and four damping ratios (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4) to half-sine fo
