인간이 도구를 사용한 이래 진동과 충격의 인체 피폭은 점진적으로 증가되었으며, 산업 혁명의 부산물인 동력기관을 이용하는 육-해-공 운송수단의 20세기 발전은 인체진동 피폭의 급격한 증대를 수반하였다. 자동차를 포함한 운송수단은 21세기 우리생활의 필수품으로 확고한 자리를 잡을 것이 확실시된다. 우리 주변의 수많은 진동 발생원들과 이에 직간접적으로 노출되어있는 현대인의 생활은 진동에 대한 새로운 이해와 접근방법의 개척을 요구하여 새로운 공학분야를 잉태하였다.(중략)

This paper introduces the brief guidelines on general aspects of tests and experiments with human subjects. Detailed methods for measuring whole-body vibration are reviewed for those tests and experiments and compared each other. Such comparison is found to be very useful in choosing adequate methods for human related tests and experiments. Of course, it is also expected to be very meaningful to our automotive research and industrial fields that are critical to the ride quality of their products with uncomfortable acoustic noise and vibration.

This paper reviews recent international standards related to human-related vibration and compares them to KS standards. This comparison and analysis reveals that the current direction and activity in ISO is in progress and presents logical ways of updating Korean standards in the future. Finally, the current activity of upgrading Korean standards in the Korean TC 108/SC 4 is introduced.

This paper addresses issues encountered in using the ISO and national standard codes to assess the hazards of whole-body vibration and repeat shocks. Their assessment methods are given in ISO 2631-1 (1974, 1985, 1997) and BS 6841 (1987) that are now available to us. Two standard codes can yield unfortunately different assessment results even for a single measured vibration signal. Possible reasons for such different results are pointed out and, furthermore, related questions that should be re-examined in the future are raised in this paper.

When considering the effects of whole-body vertical vibration, it is valuable to have an understanding of the mechanical characteristics (mechanical impedance and apparent mass) of the body. This paper addresses experimental results carried out to investigate the characteristics of apparent masses fer 41 Korean. The apparent masses of the seated human body in vertical direction were measured during different experimental conditions, such as vibration excitation level (0.5-2 ms$\^$-2/ r.m.s). frequency range (1-50Hz), and upper body posture (relaxed, normal and backrest-upright). We showed the average of all subjects and all conditions and compared the results with ISO5982/DIS (2000).

This paper introduces experimental results of the ride qulaity characteristics of automotive seats fixed on the vibration table that is noving simultaneously to the three-axis in a similar way to the real running condition. Vibration experiment was carried out for five different automotive seats and four Korean individuals. The assessment of the ride quality characteristics for each seat and indiviual was made not only from the analysis of vibration measurements but also from the evaluation of weighied vibration signals, which were obtained using the frequency weighting function and the multiplication factor dependent on the position and axis of vibration exposure to wehole-body. The usefulness of those assessment results in analysis of the ride quality of seats is discussed and their limitation is also pointed out in this paper.

This Paper addresses what amount of whole-body vibration is exposed to Korean pilots of UH60 helicopters during their mission flight. To measure the expose4 whole-body vibration, the 12-axis whole-body vibration measurement system was used. It enables the direct measurement of whole-body vibration exposed from the body contact area consisting of the feet, hip and back. The measured 12-axis vibration signals were used to evaluate the vibration comfort level experienced by the pilots of UH60 helicopters. The evaluated vibration comfort level is found to be closeto 0.74-0.79m/s, which is equivalent to the semantic scale of 'fairly uncomfortable'. To assess the health effects of whole-body vibration exposed to Korean pilots of UH60 helicopters during their mission flight, the rms-based and VDV(vibration dose value)-based evaluation schemes, recommended by ISO 2631-1:1977, were exploited in this work. The evaluated results indicate that Korean pilots cannot avoid the fatigue-decreased proficiency limit after two-hour continuous flight. The whole-body vibration level exposed from the UH60 helicopters during continuous 10-hours mission flight is found to reach to the vibration exposure limit.

The recent national contract (Ecotechnopia 21) supported by the ministry of environment puts much significance on new issues for the assessment of human effects arising from vibration and noise exposed to human. This paper focuses only on hand-arm vibration since it has been a major problem in protecting vibration exposure to human. To set up a systematic way of assessing adverse effects of hand-arm vibration, surveys were made on recent international standards and researches related to hand-arm vibration. The measurement and evaluation methods of hand-arm transmitted vibration, the relationship between vibration exposure and effects on health, and the assessment methods of nerve dysfunctions are addressed in this paper. Those methods are linked into a logical way of assessing effects of hand-arm vibration on human. Finally, the current activities and achievements in this work are briefly summarised.

This paper introduces new approaches attempted to evaluate quantitatively the effects of repeated shocks exposed to human. This attempt, by the members of ISO TC 108 / CS4, has been made to add a standardised draft of ISO 2631 Part 1 which covers newly the human response to repeated shocks. It contains the review of previous work related to shocks responses to human and suggests a mathematical model to predict the three-axis lumbar spine accelerations from the measured seat accelerations. The predicted accelerations are used to evaluate the vibration dose to the spine. The evaluated dose values are shown to enable the assessment of adverse health effects.
