• Description:
  The vibration isolation performance of vibration-reducing (VR) gloves is location-specific and different at the palm from that at the fingers (McDowell et al., 2014, Welcome et al., 2014). The vibration attenuation effectiveness is also tool-specific and can be estimated analytically given the 3D vibration spectra of the tool and the 3D transmissibility spectra of the glove (Rakheja et al., 2002; Dong et al., 2002). The objectives of this study are to measure the vibration transmissibility of gloves at the fingers and to estimate whether the gloves can reduce the finger vibration from many tools.
