Vibration, Volume 7, Issue 2

This article is about a framework for determining the degree of realism of any given passenger ride motion discomfort measurement formula. After providing some context and reviewing evidence of deficiency in currently popular ride motion discomfort m...

Haptic feedback holds the potential to enhance the engagement and expressivity of future digital and electric musical instruments. This study investigates the impact of artificial vibration on the perceived quality of a silent electric cello. We deve...

Exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) has been shown to result in lower-back pain, sciatica, and other forms of discomfort for operators of heavy equipment. While WBV is defined to be between 0.5 and 80 Hz, humans are most sensitive to vertical vibr...

This study explores how low-frequency foot-transmitted vibration (FTV) affects both gait parameters and cognitive performance. Twenty healthy male participants experienced harmonic mediolateral FTV (1.25 Hz, 1 m/s2) while either standing or walking o...

Vibration neutralizers are single-degree-of-freedom devices affixed to vibrating structures in order to reduce the response at a specific troublesome harmonic excitation frequency. As this frequency may vary over time, it becomes imperative to track...

Localized vibration (LV) of the lower leg increases arterial blood flow (BF). However, it is unclear how LV causes this increase. Understanding the mechanisms of this response could lead to the optimized future use of LV as a therapy. One possible me...

Bridges connecting islands close to the coast and crossing the sea have been attracting the attention of several researchers working in the field of train–bridge interactions. A runability analysis of a bridge during the event of a ship impact...
