  2. 11. Production Ergonomics Evaluation – Needs, Procedures and Digital Human Modeling Tools

    Author : Cecilia Berlin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Digital Human Modeling; Virtual Tools; Prevention; Time; Musculo-Skeletal Disorders; Cumulative; Production Ergonomics; DHM;

    Abstract : In production systems, human operators may be at risk for developing work-relatedmusculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), resulting in pain, inability to work and high costs. Anincreasingly capable tool for identifying MSD risks early in the production designprocess are Digital Human Models (DHMs), although their built-in analysis tools are ingreat need of development regarding how they address time-related aspects of loadexposure.

    Abstract : Information Technology (IT) is today widespread in our work places, in our spare time and in our society overall. Implementations of IT in organizations come with high expectations on effectiveness, revenue, smoother work processes and so on. READ MORE

  5. 13. High dynamic stiffness nano-structured composites for vibration control : A Study of applications in joint interfaces and machining systems

    Author : Qilin Fu; Cornel-Mihai Nicolescu; Per Nylén; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vibration control; High dynamic stiffness; Metal matrix composite; Nano structures; Plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition PECVD ; High power impulse magnetron sputtering HiPIMS ; Adiabatic; Machining; Regenerative tool chatter; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Abstract : Vibration control requires high dynamic stiffness in mechanical structures for a reliable performance under extreme conditions. Dynamic stiffness composes the parameters of stiffness (K) and damping (η) that are usually in a trade-off relationship. This thesis study aims to break the trade-off relationship. READ MORE

  6. 14. Plug & Play? Stakeholders’ co-meaningmaking of gamification implementations in workplace learning environments

    Author : Adam Palmquist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gamification; stakeholder; design; implementation; adoption; workplace learning; gamification stakeholder design implementation adoption workplace learning;

    Abstract : This dissertation discusses the implementation process of gamification in organisations’ workplace learning environments, focusing on four stakeholder groups: Administrators, Leaders, Providers and Users. These stakeholder groups are represented across the dissertation’s five articles, which present the results of my investigation of the groups’ meaning attributions to the gamification implementations in their organisations’ learning environments.
