Power distribution in anti-vibration gloves

The article analyses power distribution in an anti-vibration glove. The glove of interest was modelled in a biodynamic model of the Human – Glove – Tool system. The model was a combination of the human model and the glove model specified in the ISO 10068:2012 standard and the model of the vibration tool. To determine the power distribution in the glove, its energy model was developed. The power distribution in the model was determined using numerical simulation in order to show how power was distributed in the dynamic structure of the anti-vibration glove. Three kinds of powers were distinguished, which are related to forces of inertia, dissipation and elasticity. It turned out that out of the three kinds of powers identified in the anti-vibration glove, only one is dominant: namely the power of dissipation.
