Transient Vibration and Complaints an Emperical Study of Coal Mine Detonation

Laboratory research is being conducted to substantiate suggested levels for voluntary standards on human response to transient vibration. The application of those findings to actual field conditions, however, will be limited because they will not include social and psychological factors existent in the real world. It is necessary, therefore, to examine available empirical information on complaints in an attempt to define the influence social and psychological factors might have on the laboratory results.
