Alternative mathematical models of the vertical apparent mass of the seated human body are developed. The optimum parameters of four models (two single-degree-of-freedom models and two two-degree-of-freedom models) are derived from the mean measured apparent masses of 60 subjects (24 men, 24 women,

The dynamic responses of eight male subjects exposed to vertical whole-body vibration have been measured at eight locations of the body in three directions within the sagittal plane: in the vertical, fore-and-aft and pitch axes. The motions were measured on the body surface at the first, fifth and t
The influence of the posture of the legs and the vibration magnitude on the dynamic response of the standing human body exposed to vertical whole-body vibration has been investigated. Motions were measured on the body surface at the first and eighth thoracic and fourth lumbar vertebrae (T1, T8 and L
In subjects exposed to whole-body vibration, the cause of non-linear dynamic characteristics with changes in vibration magnitude is not understood. The e!ect of muscle tension on the non-linearity in apparent mass has been investigated in this study. Eight seated male subjects were exposed to random
The guidance on the effects of vibration on health in standards for whole-body vibration (WBV) does not provide quantitative relationships between WBV and health risk. The paper aims at the elucidation of exposure-response relationships. An analysis of published data on the static and dynamic streng
