Table 3.

Examples of the glove vibration transmissibilities on tools in the fingertips and proximal areas of the fingers. A_y and T_y are the acceleration magnitude and transmissibility in shear; A_xz and T_xz are the acceleration magnitude and transmissibility in compression; A_t and T_xzy are total vector sums of the acceleration magnitudes and transmissibilities. Tool accelerations in m/s²; Transmissibilities unit less
