title: Study of vibration and its effect on health of the motorcycle rider creator: Shivakumara, BS creator: Sridhar, V subject: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences description: The motorcycle riders are subjected to extreme vibrations due to the vibrations of its engine, improper structural design of the motorcycle and the bad road conditions. The literature review reveals that the vibrations are most hazardous to the health if it exceeds the limit. The experiments were conducted to measure the magnitude of the vibrations acting on the rider during motorcycle riding under various road conditions. Experimental values of accelerations and frequencies which are beyond permissible limits according to the literature confirm that vibration certainly affects health of the motorcycle rider. publisher: Dr. B.S.
