Some Current Biomechanical Research in the United Kingdom, as Related to the Effects of Impact and Vibration on Man

Abstract

Although current research into models is not widely dispersed in the United Kingdom, models are used extensively as an aid to discussion. Current research includes the dynamics of wrist movements, the use of a model for tractor seat testing, and the properties of body tissue. Work at the author's establishment is directed towards providing a range of information on the human dynamic response to impact and vibration. Studies range from transient and steady-state impedance experiments, to internal and external transmissibility measurements. It is suggested that a wider understanding of variations and non- linearities is required before useful analytic, and synthetic models can be evolved.
