Sensitivity analysis of the spinal load model used in the draft standard ISO 2631-5 NOETUDE/P2016-011 | 2015

In the 1990’s, Seidel et al. applied a biomechanical approach to develop a new method to assess the health effects caused by WBV on seated drivers. Their works were based on the assumption that intervertebral pressure may cause damage to the lumbar…
Health effects of whole-body vibration EL2013-018/P2013-138/CC 3 | 2013

This conference adressed the topics of occupational diseases, measurements of exposure, and modelling of the effects of vibration on humans. Various epidemiological studies, experiments and examples of practical prevention measures were…
Vibration and posture risk at the workplace of mobile machines. EL2013-018/P2016-038/DO12 | 2016

Mobile machine drivers are regularly exposed to vibration or shocks transmitted to the whole body through the seat and cabin floor. INRS studies were carried out to develop a general approach for assessing the vibration risk.
A three step procedure for a simple assessment of vibration risks NOETUDE/P2015-077/DO7 | 2014

The use of some hand held tools may be the cause of bone and joint, vascular or neurological troubles due to vibration exposure.
A study lead by INRS with the Carsat assistance will facilitate the assessment of vibration risk without measurement…
A multi-scale modelling strategy to predict the vibration effects on the digital vascular network. First stage: validation of a finite element model at the macroscopic scale for a pre-loaded and vibrated distal phalanx. EL2012-012/P2015-162/NS339 | 2016

This study lays the foundation for a multi-scale strategy which would be able in the future to predict and to better understand the action of the vibrations on the digital arterial network by modeling some mechanical-biological coupling effects…
Modeling the biodynamic response of a pre-loaded vibrated phalanx and preliminary results for a whole hand. EL2012-012/P2016-069 | 2016

Regular exposure of tool operators to hand-arm vibration can lead to various disorders and injuries due to changes of mechanical quantities like dynamic stress or strain arising from the vibration propagation. Direct biodynamic measurements…
Inter-individual postural variability in seated drivers exposed to whole body vibrations EL2013-018/P2013-201 | 2014

Long term occupational exposure to Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) is a cause of Low Back Pain (LBP) for seated drivers. Poor and long term seated postures are considered as a cofactor in the risk. It depends on the vehicle’s ergonomics and tasks. Differences…
How can vibration emitted by percussion tools be measured? NOETUDE/P2013-082/NT 3 | 2013

One out of four handheld or hand-guided vibrating tools is a percussion tool. They expose operators to high levels of vibration with a strong probability of such levels exceeding the regulatory threshold values whenever the daily exposure…
A spectral dissipative constitutive law of soft tissues for modeling the dynamic response of a preloaded phalanx. EL2012-012/P2016-085 | 2016

Extensive exposure of the hand-arm system to regular vibration can lead to various disorders and injuries due partly to changes of mechanical quantities like dynamic stress or strain arising from the propagation of such vibration. Our work…
Inter-individual postural variability of off-road machine drivers exposed to WBV EL2013-018/P2014-034 | 2014

Seated mobile machinery operators are exposed to whole-body vibration (WBV) that may lead to low back pain (LBP). The procedure defined by ISO 2631-1:1997 for the evaluation of vibration does not take into account the physical stress caused by maintained…
