C-130J Human Vibration

چکیده
Human exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) has been associated with a variety of changes in health, comfort, and occupational functioning. In the C-130J Hercules aircraft, crews from both Australia and overseas have reported that the vibration in the cargo compartment of the aircraft exceeds previous levels and that it is both annoying and fatiguepromoting. This report examines the issue of human vibration in the C-130J, providing an overview of the characteristics of vibration and human exposure to vibration, as well as a review of studies that have measured the vibration levels in the C-130J. The likely consequences of exposure to vibration in the aircraft are discussed and recommendations for managing the issue are provided.

Seat vibration in military propeller aircraft: characterization, exposure assessment, and mitigation.
INTRODUCTION There have been increasing reports of annoyance, fatigue, and even neck and back pain during prolonged operation of military propeller aircraft, where persistent multi-axis vibration occurs at higher frequencies beyond human whole-body resonance. This paper characterizes and assesses the higher frequency vibration transmitted to the occupants onboard these aircraft. METHODS Multi...

The rollout of the first production C-130 aircraft, the C-130A, took place on March 10, 1955. Since then, more than 2,100 C-130s have been built in dozens of variations and are flown by more than 60 nations worldwide. They carry troops, vehicles, and armaments into battle. They drop paratroopers and supplies from the sky. They serve as airborne and ground refuelers. They serve as flying hospita...
متن کاملRefibrillation : Rate of Refibrillation and Time between the Defibrillation and the Refibrillation
Clinical evidence shows that patients in cardiac arrest who are defibrillated by an Automatic or Semiautomatic External Defibrillators often experience a recurrence of ventricular fibrillation prior to arrival of advanced life support. We studied the probability for refibrillation and the duration of the interval between the defibrillation and the refibrillation. The refibrillation rates after ...
متن کاملBreaking Through the V & V Bottle Neck
With conventional methods of performing verification and validation heavily reliant on testing performed late in the software production process the late detection of errors adds substantially to project costs and delays in delivery, and introduces significant risks. This paper presents a method of software development aimed at "correctness by construction", which greatly attenuates these probl...
متن کاملSoftware Engineering Programs: Dispelling the Myths and Misconceptions
Developing Software Engineers at the C-130J Software Factory by Richard Conn, pp. 25–29. The education and training needs of avionics software engineers are diverse. Several shortfalls in conventional computer science and engineering education can result in mismatched expectations between new hires and their companies. Students must be prepared to work on teams, communicate, and understand the ...
