Abstract

Every machine generates some vibration when it’s in working mode. It is clear that such vibration can be effectively transmitted to the human arm cause adverse effects. The objective is to investigate the vibration transmission from the human arm. Some injuries caused due to the mechanical vibration transmitted to human arm while driving vehicle or operating heavy machine. To develop a human hand arm biodynamic model and to investigate the biodynamic response (BR) in the six degree of freedom (DOF) of the human- hand arm system (HAS). The model is based on the second order mass-spring-damper system. In this study presents the biomechanical models considering the masses, stiffness, and damping of the finger, palm-wrist-forearm, and upper-arm and corresponding to different modes of vibration. To study a possible ways to for reducing the healthhazards of hand due to vibration by using the isolator and gloves. Matlab-Simulink based on this model to determine the effect of vibration transmits from driving vehicle or operating machines. This results are discussed the view-point of the vibration response behaviour of the hand arm that are presented in the Matlab-Simulink
