Measurements of the Mechanical Impedance and Vibration Power Absorption for Varying Grip and Push Forces for Translatory Excitation along the xh-Axis

The tool transmits vibration to the HAS, while the user's interaction, e.g. varying grip and push forces, in turn affects the tools dynamic behavior. Models of the HAS describe this interaction by predicting how the hand and arm respond to mechanical vibration.

This data set provides the underlying experimental data for 13 subjects: it characterizes the dynamic response of the hand-arm system through three frequency-dependent quantities — apparent mass, mechanical impedance, and vibration power absorption — recorded while subjects maintained defined grip forces (four levels, 25–135 N) and push forces (four levels, 30–100 N) and translational vibration was applied along the palm (xh-axis according to DIN 5349:2001).
