Considerations Regarding the Effects of Shocks and Vibrations on Operators of Self-Propelled Agricultural Equipment

Abstract

Vibrations are part of the category of dynamic phenomena and are manifested in some medium as a consequence of an external excitation in the form of oscillations. These oscillations have negative effects on the medium in which they manifest. In the particular case where the medium is represented by the human body, the negative effects are felt at the level of its health, and the consequences are sometimes irreversible. In this context, it is necessary to study and know the effects that vibrations have on the human body. The main purpose of researches carried out in this field is to establish the limit up to which man can work in medium that generate vibrations, without the vibrations affecting his state of health.
