The parameters of the models were derived on the basis of both the driving-point impedance and vibration transmitted to different segments of the hand-arm measured, using six subjects under broadband random excitation. The distributed and total power responses of the hand-arm system models under random excitations for both the postures were described. Significant effect of excitation and posture on the absorbed power is observed. Despite similarities in trends shown by segmental absorbed power, the values of absorbed power in the extended arm posture are significantly greater than those in the bent-arm posture for the same overall frequency-weighted vibration.}, number={2}, journal={Canadian Acoustics}, author={Adewusi, Surajudeen and Rakheja, Subhash and Marcotte, Pierre}, year={2011}, month={Jun.}, pages={50–51} }
