1/1, 1/3
Strutt|Criteria|Curves|Vibration Curves|Human Perception - BS6841 inserts the BS6841 weighting curves for human response to vibration into the current row of the worksheet.
The weighting curves are used to quantify human response to vibration, particularly as part of the Vibration Dose Value calculation.
The curves are:
- `W_b`, Z-axis vibration on strutting surface (Health/Discomfort/Perception)
- `W_c`, X-axis vibration on seat back (Health/Discomfort/Perception)
- `W_d`, X- or Y-axis vibration on strutting surface (Health/Discomfort/Perception)
- `W_e`, Rotational vibration on strutting surface (Health/Discomfort/Perception)
- `W_f`, Z-axis vibration on strutting surface (Motion Sickness)
- `W_g`,Z-axis on strutting surface (Hand Control/Vision)
