Abstract

The response of human to vibration and mechanical shock was studied. A non-linear biodynamic model employed a neural network to produce an estimate of the spinal response. It was found that the vertical vibration at frequencies ranging between 0.1 Hz to 0.5 Hz resulted in motion sickness.
