Abstract
Man's exposure to low-frequency vibration in vehicles is discussed. Research with humans in vibration experiments has led to a common core of findings, but with some areas of conflict. Discrepancies in results are examined in the light of several methodological problems. These are ( 1) procedural variations including use of subjects, body restraints, body supports, and constant amplitude vs. constant acceleration experimental designs; ( 2) terminology, with attention to directions of motion; ( 3) random vs. sinusoidal motion; ( 4) single and multiple factors; ( 5) scaling; and ( 6) performance evaluation including the matters of equipment setup, vibrating and stable displays, and standardized tasks.
