Measurements of the Mechanical Impedance and Vibration Power Absorption for Varying Grip and Push Forces

The data set contains the raw as well as the evaluated data from a subject study with 6 subjects to measure the mechanical impedance and the vibration power absorbtion while varying the grip and push forces in ten levels between 10-135N and 10-110N respectively. The measuring handle on which the study was conducted complies with the specifications in ISO10068:2012. The subjects were randomised to hold the force levels while vibrations were applied translatory along the lower arm axis (zh-axis according to DIN5349:2001) to their hand-arm system via a shaker system, with the posture of the subjects lying within the ranges specified in ISO 10819:2022. The excitation was a multisine with frequencies between 10 to 500 Hz in 5 Hz steps with an root mean square value of 40m/s². The acquisition time of each measurement is 16.5 sec, for the evaluation the data is cutted to exclude the first 4 sec and the last 1.5 sec.
