Ergonomic DHM Systems - Limitations and Trends – A Review Focused on the ‘Future of Ergonomics’

Ergonomic Digital Human Model (DHM) systems have evolved from drawing templates to complex and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) integrated design and analysis tools. While the development of DHM for other domains (e.g. the game sector) has seen significant progress in recent years, advances of DHM in the area of ergonomics have been comparatively modest. As a consequence, we need to question if...

Etymology, history, and artifacts

Elliptic really does have a connection with literal geometric ellipses, removed by a few steps. Integrals expressing arc length of ellipses are less elementary than integrals for inverse trigonometric functions, and were named elliptic because of this. Abel and Jacobi discovered in 1827 that the inverse functions are doubly periodic (explained below). This chain of events caused these functions...

The HUMOSIM Ergonomics Framework: A New Approach to Digital Human Simulation for Ergonomic Analysis

The potential of digital human modeling to improve the design of products and workspaces has been limited by the time-consuming manual manipulation of figures that is required to perform simulations. Moreover, the inaccuracies in posture and motion that result from manual procedures compromise the fidelity of the resulting analyses. This paper presents a new approach to the control of human fig...
