Do we need to revisit the methods used to measure and understand noise and vibration on military tracked vehicles?

When we assess compliance of crew exposure to vibration within a military tracked vehicle we use international standards, these are ISO 2631 and BS 6841. Within these standards, weighting factors based on research carried out 40 years ago are applied to the measured vibration. These weighing filters attenuate and remove vibration above 80Hz. After conducting tests for over 30 years, it is the author’s intention to prove that these filters are no longer fit for purpose and the standards need revisiting.
