Abstract

The study of vibration effects on the human body was undertaken twenty-five years ago. Biomechanical models of the human body have since been suggested as a result of several experimental findings. These models (as with any analog system) allow interacting complex phenomena to be represented more exactly and can lead to valuable ergonomic results. They enable, in particular, a dynamic evaluation of seats during steady state vibrations and shocks.
Repetitive experiments on the same subject in the same conditions make it possible to obtain a numerical evaluation of the model parameters, although important differences are found between subjects and also for the same subject in varying postures. As a rule, the dynamic properties of the pelvis-table link can be obtained with a satisfactory degree of precision, but for the thorax-pelvis link the dispersion of the experimental results prevents results of general applicability.
Finally, it is noted that the mechanical properties of the human body cannot be considered as varying linearly with the intensity of excitation. This makes the reaction to the random stimulations usual in working conditions even more complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article discusses the rubber seats in the automobile industry. Both Hudson Motor Car Co. and Nash Finch Co. have the rubber seats in one automobile model each and the manufacturers are claiming advantages of the new latex from rubber. The new rubber requires manufacturers to materially reduce the number of items to be assembled and inventoried apart from the increased comfort and cleanliness for drivers. England's Dunlop Rubber Co. has the patented development of latex from rubber.

Abstract

The article reports on the reasons found out by the investigators at the University of Michigan's Highway Safety Research Institute for accidents among snowmobilers. According to doctor Verne Roberts and Robert Hubbard, soaring snowmobilers are subjected to even greater gravitational forces than pilots being ejected from disabled jets. So they receive more injuries in the form of compression fracture. The researchers suggested that these injuries can be reduced by stiffening the seat materials.
