Abstract
The objective of the present study is to find out the effect of the operator, the mine room and their interaction on the vibration measured on a scaling machine. Vibration measurements were conducted for three different mine rooms and three different drivers. The vector sum value of the root-mean-square acceleration, the vector sum value of the acceleration dose and the kurtosis sum were utilized to quantify the measured vibration. The unbalanced two-way ANOVA and the Kramer–Tukey test were utilized for the statistical analysis. The results show that the operating styles of the drivers in performing scaling activity and their interaction with the mine rooms have no significant effect on the vector sum value of the acceleration, the vector sum value of the acceleration dose and the kurtosis sum value. The mine rooms have a significant effect on the kurtosis sum value and the vector sum value of the acceleration dose, but not on the vector sum value of the acceleration.
