Vibrations on the floor in a car are transmitted to the foot, hip, and back from the seat. Human body recognizes these vibrations, but the sensitivity for each vibration is different. To evaluate these vibrations, RMS(root mean square) of accelerations, VDV(vibration does value) are commonly used. The ride comfort evaluation is usually carried out by experiments of real cars which are expensive. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the status of several ride vibration standards and criteria having relevance to construction machinery vehicles and to suggest recommendations for the effective use of such criteria in vehicle / component development.

본 논문에서는 세계적으로 널리 사용되어지고 있는 초고층 건축물의 진동사용성 평가기준이 검토되었다. 초고층 건축물의 진동에 대한 사용성 평가기준은 바람에 의한 초고층 건축물의 가속도 응답의 크기로 나타내는 것이 일반적이다. 건축물의 가속도의 응답의 크기를 산정함에 있어서 두 가지의 서로 다 른 척도, 즉 최대가속도 또는 RMS가속도를 각 기준에서 채택하고 있는데 이에 대한 상이점을 토의하고 각 국의 진동사용성 평가기준을 고찰함으로써 우리나라에는 어떤 진동사용성 평가기준이 적합한가에 대한 논의를 시작하고자 하였다. 그리고 건축물의 각기 다른 응답을 조사하여 최대가속도와 RMS가속도와 관계를 면밀히 검토하고 각각에 대해 기술적인 논거를 기술하였다.

To analyze human thermal environments in protected horticultural houses (plastic houses), human thermal sensations estimated using measured microclimatic data (air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar and terrestrial radiation) were compared between an outdoor area and two indoor plastic houses, a polyethylene (PE) house and a polycarbonate (PC) house. Measurements were carried out during the daytime in autumn, a transient season that exhibits human thermal environments ranging from neutral to very hot. The mean air temperature and absolute humidity of the houses were 14.6-16.8℃ (max. 22. 3℃) and 7.0-12.0 g∙m-3 higher than those of the outdoor area, respectively. Solar (K) and terrestrial (L) radiation were compared directionally from the sky hemisphere (↓) and the ground hemisphere (↑). The mean K↓ and K↑ values for the houses were respectively 232.5-367.8 W∙m-2 and 44.9-55.7 W∙m-2 lower than those in the outdoor area; the mean L↓ and L↑ values were respectively 150.4-182.3 W∙m-2 and 30.5-33.9 W∙m-2 higher than those in the outdoor area. Thus, L was revealed to be more influential on the greenhouse effect in the houses than K. Consequently, mean radiant temperature in the houses was higher than the outdoor area during the daytime from 10:45 to 14:15. As a result, mean human thermal sensation values in the PMV, PET, and UTCI of the houses were respectively 3.2-3.4℃ (max. 4.7℃), 15.2-16.4℃ (max. 23.7℃) and 13.6-15.4℃ (max. 22.3℃) higher than those in the outdoor area. The heat stress levels that were influenced by human thermal sensation were much higher in the houses (between hot and very hot) than in the outdoor (between neutral and warm). Further, the microclimatic component that most affected the human thermal sensation in the houses was air temperature that was primarily influenced by L↓. Therefore, workers in the plastic houses could experience strong heat stresses, equal to hot or higher, when air temperature rose over 22℃ on clear autumn days.
