  2. 1. Anthropometric diversity and consideration of human capabilities : Methods for virtual product and production development

    Author : Erik Brolin; Roland Örtengren; Dan Högberg; Lars Hanson; John Rasmussen; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ergonomics; Human Factors; Anthropometry; Multi-Dimensional; Diversity; Digital Human Modelling; Simulation; Visualisation; Workplace Design; Product Design; Accommodation; Technology; Teknik; User Centred Product Design; Användarcentrerad produktdesign;

    Abstract : Contemporary product and production development is typically carried out with the support of computer tools where the design of products and workstations are originated and evaluated within virtual environments. Ergonomics addresses factors important to consider in the product and production development process to ensure a good fit between humans and the items being designed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Self-assessed and direct measured physical workload among dentists in public dental clinics in Sweden during a period of rationalizations

    Author : Dirk Jonker; Kerstin Ekberg; Tommy Öberg; Jörgen Winkel; Roland Örtengren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Much research has been done on interventions to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) at the workplace. However, this problem is still a major concern in working life. The economic cost for WMSDs corresponds to between 0.5% and 2% of the gross national product in some European countries, and in 2007, 8. READ MORE

  5. 3. Structuring and use of motion data for computer manikin work task simulations

    Author : Ali Keyvani; Roland Örtengren; D. Lämkull; Gunnar Bolmsjö; Keith Case; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Digital Human Modelling; Computer Manikins; Motion Capture Data Management; Virtual Production Tools; Human Motion Simulation; Motion Synthesis; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

    Abstract : Modelling and simulation of human motions are of great interest for a number of industrial applications such as ergonomics and production planning. Over time, efforts have been made to provide computerized human models with biomechanically accurate underlying skeleton and realistically rendered volumetric representation of muscles, skin, clothes, etc. READ MORE

  6. 4. Models and Methods for Analysis and Improvementof Physical Work Environments

    Author : Linda Rose; Roland Örtengren; Mats Ericson; Bengt Nordgren; Per Odenrick; Division of Human Factors Engineering Department of Product abd Production Development Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ergonomics; economics; risk management; work-related personal injuries; construction industry; fatigue reactions; EMG; endurance; recovery; modelling.;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis concerning work-related personal injuries was to obtain knowledge bases for two purposes. The first was to develop a model, the Ergo-Index, for use when comparing work situations regarding ergonomics and time aspects and choosing the most favourable working method. READ MORE
