Abstract
Ten male volunteers were utilized in a study of the perception of vibration. Four subjective reaction levels (perceptible, mildly annoying, extremely annoying, and alarming) were established utilizing the Boeing Human Vibration Test Facility as the test instrument. Experimental controls and test procedures were determined in a preliminary study.
Subjective levels identified are generally at higher acceleration values than those of similar research conducted previously. Possible reasons for the differences are discussed. Also, individual values established at a given subjective level are shown to be influenced by the magnitude of the immediately preceding vibration level. Physiological effects, in the main, correlate with previous findings.
