The main objective of this thesis was the development and testing of a concept that can potentially be implemented on a rock drill to attenuate the operating frequency of a rock drill. The concept must be able to account for minor changes in operating
frequency on a specific drill. In addition to that, the drill operating frequency varies
from one drill to another. The thesis also aims to lay the mathematical foundation to
design an attenuating handle for a specific drill with a specific operating frequency. All the objectives must be obtained without noticeable sacrifices in drill control or
performance.
