Ergonomic Evaluation of Young Agricultural Operators Using Handle Equipment Through Electromyography and Vibrations Analysis Between the Fingers
Federico Roggio,Ermanno Vitale,V. R. Filetti,Venerando Rapisarda,Giuseppe Musumeci,Elio Romano +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the interaction of handle equipment in terms of electromyographic activity and analyze the postural work-related alterations was observed and the digital postural analysis showed a general asymmetry of the main arm and the respective side of the trunk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the influence of feed and lateral force on productivity and hand-arm vibration in interaction with drill bit wear and concrete strength
TL;DR: In this paper , the influence of the feed and lateral force on drill bit wear was investigated and subsequently how this wear interacts with the user forces to change hammer drill vibration and the rate of penetration.

Proposal of Combined Noise and Hand-Arm Vibration Index for Occupational Exposure: Application to a Study Case in the Olive Sector
Raquel Nieto-Álvarez,M. L. De la Hoz-Torres,Antonio J. Aguilar,María Dolores Martínez-Aires,Diego P. Ruiz +4 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a procedure to aid the establishment of precautionary measures for workers with simultaneous exposure to both physical agents, such as hand-arm vibration and noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors on vibrational harm during hammer drilling – Influences of lateral force, feed force, hammer drill and drill bit type
TL;DR: In this article , a study with 1152 test runs was carried out on a test rig to investigate the relationship between the feed force and the lateral force as a function of the hammer drill setup on the vibrations at the drill housing and main handle.
