6/1/2006 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThe First American Conference on Human Vibration (ACHV) was held in Morgantown, West Virginia, June 5-7, 2006.

6/1/2006 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsHandling of heavy vehicles such as tractors, trucks and buses require a large roll stiffness which causes large high accelerations at the seat level during impacts; a pneumatic active seat suspension is proposed.

3/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThirty-six human lumbar motion segments were fatigue tested using spinal compressive and shear loads that simulated lifting a 9 kg weight in three torso flexion angles. Results indicated that stellate endplate fractures were associated with increased po...

2/1/2006 - Book chaptersExperience has shown that many ergonomic techniques used to analyze or design standing or sitting work stations often do not adapt well to situations where a restricted posture is adopted. However, recent years have seen an increase in research examinin...

7/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers evaluated four seat designs on mine haulage vehicles with regard to roadway-induced jarring/jolting and operator comfort; the performances of the seat designs are compared.
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study's objective was to simulate the postures and loads experienced by the lumbar spine during repetitive lifting of weights in different torso flexion postures, and to analyze the fatigue failure response of lumbosacral motion segments.
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper argues that workers who adopt unusual or restricted postures appear to be at higher risk of musculoskeletal complaints and often exhibit reduced strength and lifting capacity.
-
10/1/2004 - Conference papersDescribes a method for assessing equipment jolting using a combination of "black boxes" called Shox Boxes and an onboard GPS system. The resulting configuration provides an objective assessment of jolting and a chance to determine its root causes.
-
7/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis review evaluates selected papers that have studied exposure to whole-body vibration and awkward posture among operators of mobile equipment.
-
3/1/2004 - Information CircularsThis report documents the code development of special features for a computer model, random virtual human motions and behaviors, which made it possible for researchers to study hazardous interactions, such as contacts between the operator and machine.
