• Comparison of Whole-Body Vibration Exposures on Older and Newer Haulage Trucks at an Aggregate Stone Quarry Operation
  8/1/2008 - Conference papers
  This testing monitored the performance of older and newer truck models relative to whole-body vibration (WBV) exposures as a means for determining when the vehicle (e.g., suspension system) and seats required maintenance or replacement.
• Inventive Methods for Evaluating the Translation of Hand-arm Vibration to the Ear Canal in Miners
  4/2/2019 - Research projects
  A project to assess whether vibration intensity can successfully be measured on heavy-duty mining equipment and the human body simultaneously using technology capable of evaluating hand-arm vibration (HAV) and its possible translation to the hearing canal.
• The Effects of Whole-Body Vibration
  1/25/2019 - Non-peer reviewed journal articles
  An article explaining how vibration from heavy machinery affects operator health, and what can be done to minimize the intensity and frequency of these common events.
• Investigation of Simple Cost Effective Whole-Body Vibration Measure Tools: Capabilities, Vibration Measures, & Expansion
  1/2/2019 - Research projects
  A project to assess the accuracy of the whole-body vibration app and determine if its capabilities can be expanded to include seat transmissibility.
• Preventing Exposure to Whole-Body Vibration
  1/1/2019 - Non-peer reviewed journal articles
  An article explaining how vibration from heavy machinery affects operator health, and what can be done to minimize the intensity and frequency of these common events.
• Investigation of Human Body Vibration Exposures on Haul Trucks Operating at U.S. Surface Mines/Quarries Relative to Haul Truck Activity
  5/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An investigation into whole body vibration and hand-arm vibration exposures for mine/quarry haul truck drivers in relation to the haul truck activities of dumping, loading, and traveling with and without a load.
• Engineered Solutions - Dump Truck Vibrations and Impact on Operator Safety in High-Impact Shovel Loading Operations
  11/22/2016 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  A contract to reduce or eliminate the impact of root mean square (RMS) accelerations due to vibrations on large dump truck operators during high-impact shovel loading operations.
• Assessment of Whole-body Vibration Exposures and Influencing Factors for Quarry Haul Truck Drivers and Loader Operators
  7/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articles
