Description
Summary:This paper describes the development of hand/arm mechanical models, to investigate the biodynamic response characteristics in a 2 and 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) of the human hand and arm system. The assessment of the vibration behavior is examined by using two models. Typically, the human is modeled as a second order mass-spring-damper system. In this study, 2-DOF and 3-DOF biomechanical models have been developed to derive the vibration transmission characteristics of the hand-arm. The resulting mode shapes are discussed from the viewpoint of the vibration response behaviour of the hand-arm that are presented in the time and frequency domains.
