VIBRATIONS REDUCTION TO HAND WITH THE ANTI-VIBRATION GLOVES
Abstract
Anti-vibration gloves (AVG) are personal protectiveequipment to reduce vibrations to the worker’s hands. AVG are used mainly for workers operating the handheld with hight level vibrations such as: pneumatic rock drilling machine, riveting machine Rive, saws, etc... Currently, most of researches on AVG are performed with use of experimental methods; and
there is lack of reasonable calculate approach to effectively evaluate and determine the material parameters of the AVG.
This report will provide a method of calculating the material parameters for AVG based on a mechanical - biological model of the hands and gloves, from which the optimal parameters of the AVG by sequential quadratic programming (SQP).
