Owing to the elasticity and plasticity of the skeleton, joints and muscles, the musculoskeletal system is capable of absorbing and damping mechanical vibration without damage as long as the vibration level is within tolerable limits. However, technical developments have led to the exposure of many people to intolerable variation levels with destructive changes as a result.
These injuries to the musculoskeletal system continue to be the subject of research interest. Initially, the joints and joint complaints attracted the greatest attention. Vibration damping takes place mainly in the joints. The incidence of destructive joint changes has been examined in comprehensive clinical, epidemiological and radiographic studies, mainly concentrating on the joints of the hand and arm. The response of muscles to vibration is often expressed in the form of a tonic vibration reflex (TVR) which arises as a result of stimulation of the muscle spindles and therefore resembles the classic tonic stretch reflex. There is increased muscular activation for stabilisation of the joint positions, especially during whole-body vibration. Studies have also disclosed how vibration affects body equilibrium and equilibrium control and how vibration can elicit muscle pain, cramps and reduced muscular strength. 相似文献
The nonlinear force induced by spring and damping of 2-degree-of-freedom locally nonlinear vibrating system is regarded as
applied force, and its mathematical model is established in this paper. Then impulse response temporal method of linear vibrating
system is applied in the system, the response of locally nonlinear vibrating system is obtained by convolution integration
between unit impulse response of corresponding linear system and equivalent nonlinear force, and numerical simulation of the
model is attained. Finally, the feasibility of the new method on the domain of locally nonlinear vibrating system is verified
by comparing the results, which supplies a new method to solve approximately vibration response of locally nonlinear vibrating
systems. 相似文献
