Katruk M. Forming and evaluation of consumer properties of footwear for protection against vibration

Dissertation is dedicated to research and evaluation of consumer properties of footwear for protection against vibration. The effect of vibration on the human organism and factors of actual production of footwear are investigated. The complex analysis of the problems of the national market, researches and regulatory support of footwear for protection against vibration is performed. A scientifically based nomenclature of consumer properties of footwear for protection against vibration and requirements for it, based on the study of features of operation are developed. A patent search of ways to improve consumer properties and assortment of footwear for protection against vibration is performed. By results of researches, the optimum materials for manufacturing of vibro-protection footwear with the set of protective properties were chosen. On its basis, a home-produced footwear for protection against vibration was elaborated, its experimental batch was produced, laboratory studies of consumer properties before and after the trial operation were performed. Methodology of determination of vibroprotective capacity of footwear is improved without the involvement of human-operator, a new device for fastening of cargo and vibro-measuring devices for the studied footwear are created. With the use of specified device vibroprotective capacity of produced footwear before and after the experimetal wear is set. Commodity quality evaluation of this footwear was substantiated and conducted. Specifications for footwear for protection against vibration were developed, expediency, economic efficiency and social impact of production and use of this footwear by homegrown consumers were proved.
