Abstract

The circular saw blades used to cut materials in numerous industries generate noise levels that frequently exceed 90 dBA at the workstations.
The concept of a resonance absorber for circular saw blades will be developed with the collaboration of industry and health network professionals.
A prototype will be produced and evaluated on a simple trimmer in a sawmill.
An appreciable reduction in the noise generated by circular saw blades is expected.
This noise reduction device could be marketed.
