Abstract
Abstract This study evaluated the effectiveness of compliant materials to reduce the level of vibration at the hand from power tools. Material transmissibility was determined so that performance could be compared. Broad-band vibration levels were used as the driving source. Response levels from source and hand accelerometers provided the measurement data for this comparison. Knowledge gained from this specific measure of material isolation performance can be used to reduce operator exposure to tool vibration. Reduction in vibration exposure lowers the risk of vibration white finger (VWF) disease or hand—arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).
