DEVELOPMENT OF HANDLING FORCE DATABASE FOR PHYSICAL ERGONOMIC EVALUATION
During the design phase of industrial products,several attempts are made to use human 3D CAD models for estimating the physical loads exerted from products used and assembled at work.Physical loads are commonly evaluated by biomechanical analyses, which estimate the load on joints and muscles by using data obtained from the working posture and external forces caused by product handling.However, the magnitude and direction of handling forces under certain conditions are not unique because these forces have many degrees of freedom.This causes difficulty in automatically generating handling force data, and it requires us to collect real force data by experiments.The purpose of this study is to develop a database system that contains major types of handling force data and a system that contributes to the reduction in the analysis time for ergonomic evaluation.In this paper, we introduce the basic concept of a force database, a procedure for measuring real force data, and an outline of the user interface of our system.
