EFFECT OF DIFFERENT VIBRATION FREQUENCIES THROUGH TRACTOR ON MUSCLE ACTIVITY OF DRIVERS

In this study vibration transmitted through the steering wheel of the tractor without any trailer were discussed. An investigation was conducted to determine the transmission of vibration from the steering wheel of the hand tractor to the wrist and upper arm of the operator under actual field cond...
