Vibration Emissions of Grinders: Experiments and a Model

Abstract

A simple two-rigid-body model of an electrical grinder was created to calculate the vibration emissions according to the test code EN 60745-2-3. The model assumes that the operator does not affect the vibration emissions. Experiments with and without the operator validated this hypothesis and demonstrated the model’s abilities and limitations.
