Development of Methods of Constructing Family of Manikin

마네킨 설계 파라메타 분석연구

Equipment designer should consider how many people and what range of percentiles will be used as design criteria. The usual practice is to select some large range of the accommodation, such as 5th-95th percentiles. There is difficulty in defining 95% accommodation of population in complex design problems which involve several body dimensions. This paper develops the methods of constructing family of manikins which are validated for population accommodation. They are analyzed by the interactions or relationships between body dimensions. Proposed manikin family represents multivariate body dimensions. Moreover, nine manikin families are determined for representative Korean of 30-50 aged by proposed manikin family. Their 2-D CAD modelings are developed for bio-mechanical and ergonomic applications.
