Occupational Exposure to Vibration—Hazards, Evaluation and Control
Abstract: Mechanical vibration is known to cause occupational health hazards. Exposure to vibration has potential to cause musculoskeletal disorders. Chronic exposure to hand-transmitted vibration causes occupational disease like vibration induced white finger (VWF). This article describes the harmful health effects caused due to exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) and whole-body vibration (WBV) and the control measures to minimize the exposure. Specifically, focus is kept on the evaluation of vibration exposure to …

Factors Affecting Mammalian Embryo Culture: A Detailed Review
Abstract: Human IVF has made remarkable progress, but optimizing the in vitro environment remains essential and crucial for supporting embryo development and improving overall clinical outcomes in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Even with advances in complex culture media, incubator design, and laboratory workflows, embryos grown outside the body are still exposed to chemical and physical stressors that can significantly affect their developmental potential. In this review, we discuss key chemical stressors, …

Natural Frequency Analysis of Polymer Composites
Abstract: Polymer composite materials are increasingly utilized in vibration-sensitive engineering applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, design flexibility, and tailorable dynamic properties. Among these properties, natural frequency plays a crucial role in determining structural stability, resonance avoidance, and dynamic performance. This review presents a comprehensive synthesis of recent research on the natural frequency characteristics of polymer composite structures, with emphasis on material properties, structural configurations, boundary conditions, damage effects, environmental …

Preparation of Transparent and Thermal Resistant Zirconia Reinforced Epoxy Based Polymer Matrix Composite Coatings
Abstract: This study investigates the thermal stability, structural characteristics, optical transparency, and surface wettability of epoxy-based composite coatings reinforced with 2 wt.% zirconia (ZrO₂) nanoparticles. The composite coatings were synthesized using a dip-coating technique on carbon fiber substrates and subsequently subjected to thermal treatments at 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the amorphous nature of the epoxy matrix with no significant crystallization or …

Synthesis of Thermal Resistant and Transparent Al2O3 Reinforced Epoxy-Based Composite Coatings
Abstract: This study explores the influence of thermal treatment on the structural, optical, and surface wettability characteristics of epoxy-based composite coatings reinforced with 3 wt.% aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles. The coatings were synthesized via a dip-coating method on carbon fiber substrates and subjected to controlled thermal treatments at 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C to assess their thermal resilience. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the structural integrity of the composite …
