2. 11. On Evaluation of Working Conditions aboard High-Performance Marine Craft

   Author : Pahansen de Alwis; Karl Garme; Anders Rosén; Joakim Dahlman; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high-speed marine craft; human factors integration; whole-body vibration; epidemiology; musculoskeletal pain; fatigue; höghastighetsfartyg; human factors; HFI; helkroppsvibrationer; epidemiologi; muskuloskeletal smärta; utmattning; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : High-Performance Marine Craft (HPMC) is a complex system confronted by the stochastic nature of the waves challenging the safety of life at sea. The personnel aboard these craft are vulnerable to detrimental conditions, in fact, limiting the system’s performance evoking the significance of the Human Factors Integration (HFI) in the design and operation of these craft.

4. 12. Suspension design for off-road construction machines

   Author : Adam Rehnberg; Lars Drugge; Annika Stensson Trigell; David Crolla; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction machine; engineering vehicle; earth mover; wheel loader; vehicle dynamics; vehicle engineering; whole body vibrations; off-road vehicle; anläggningsmaskin; entreprenadmaskin; hjullastare; fordonsdynamik; fordonsteknik; helkroppsvibrationer; terrängfordon; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : Construction machines, also referred to as engineering vehicles or earth movers, are used in a variety of tasks related to infrastructure development and material handling. While modern construction machines represent a high level of sophistication in several areas, their suspension systems are generally rudimentary or even nonexistent. READ MORE

5. 13. Vibration discomfort due to multi-axis excitation

   Author : Andi Rahadiyan Wijaya; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis focuses on vibration discomfort due to multi-axis excitation. It is based on three studies; the first two studies were conducted in a laboratory environment using motion platform and utilizing sinusoidal signals, and the last study was a field study that utilized a fork lift truck on an artificial test track with built in obstacles that allowed controlled transient vibration excitation.

6. 14. Standing with and without vibration in children with severe cerebral palsy

   Author : Ylva Dalén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) risk fragile bones, fractures and hip dislocation due to disuse. A standing shell allows these children weight bearing in an upright position. Recommended standing time is one to two hours/day but evaluations are lacking. READ MORE

7. 15. Human factors in mechanized cut-to-length forest operations

   Author : Carola Häggström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Although forest operations research has a more than 50-year-long tradition in the field of human factors, there is a current decline in resources put on continuous and systematic human factors research. Therefore, the overall aim of this thesis was to contribute new knowledge on working conditions in mechanized cut-to-length logging operations and their relationship to system performance. READ MORE
