Abstract
In the present study, damping of an intrinsic vibration in human limb called physiological tremor is investigated. In most of humans the tremor is observed even at physically well condition that is derived from excessive stress or chills, therefore, it may cause anyone bad effect on precise operation such as welding and surgery. In this study experiments are performed, where the subjects are imposed a transcription task while the dynamic absorber attached to their wrist attenuates the tremor in their hands. Good results are obtained where the tremor is reduced to approximately tenth compared with the case without damper.
