Title Vibration in construction machines
Original title Les vibrations des engins de chantier [in French]
Bibliographic information Mar. 1972, No.3, p.149-157. Illus.
Abstract Following a brief survey of the three ranges of vibration frequency and the disorders they produce, the authors review the research carried out at the INRS Nancy Research Centre on the reduction of construction-machine vibration-transmission to the driver: direct vibration measurements on various machines; studies on vibration-damping devices. Tests were made on 2 low-pressure-tyre wheeled loaders moving over construction sites at different speeds, loading earth and stones, levelling and crossing obstacles. Descriptions are given of the measuring instruments, the results and their evaluation.
