Title Subjective response to combined vibrations acting on man via the seat
Original title Zur Beurteilung von Schwingungsgemischen, die über die Sitzfläche auf den Menschen einwirken [in German]
Bibliographic information 27 Sep. 1974, Vol.33, No.2, p.151-170. Illus. 19 ref.
Abstract Subjects who were exposed to vibrations composed of several harmonics were asked to compare the combination of harmonics with a reference vibration of 5Hz. The amplitude of the reference frequency was varied until the subject felt a stress equal to that of the combined vibrations. It was thus possible to ascertain quantitatively the influence of harmonics in vibrations on subjective response.
