For Further Information
Some of the cited references are comprehensive and excellent sources of information. Reference 2 is prin-
cipally a WBV and HAV measurements, evaluation, and control textbook. Reference 3 is principally a
medical textbook on HAV with some measurements and control information; reference 5 is a basic
and comprehensive book chapter for both WBV and HAV; reference 7 is a very complete tome on
WBV and HAV, but definitely not for the beginner.
