The 2nd Annual Prosig Prize for Engineering at Portsmouth University has been awarded to Ashley Stehr for his project “Developing an engineering mechanism to reduce the effects of rapid rotational motion caused by the shocks inherent with high speed craft”. Ashley is in his third year studying for an MSc in Mechanical Engineering. His project was supervised by Dr Ya Huang. Ashley’s project poster is shown below (click for a larger view).
The annual UK Human Response to Vibration Conference will be held this year at The Institute of Naval Medicine, Alverstoke, Gosport, UK and will run from 6-8 September 2010. The conference provides a forum for exchange of information, dissemination of research findings and an opportunity to be updated in current issues related to human responses to vibration. Presented papers cover all aspects of hand-transmitted vibration, whole-body vibration and motion sickness.
Standards DIN 4150-2:1999-06 and DIN 45669-1:1995-06 provide a means of assessing the effect on human beings of vibration caused by vehicle traffic, trains both above and below ground, construction work and occasional impulsive type vibration caused by, say, blasting and the like.
DIN 45669-1 describes the signal processing actions and DIN 4150-2 details how these are used. Provisions are included for day or night levels and for five categories of building:
