Human muscle skeletal model was developed for biomechanical study. The human model was consists with 19 bone-skeleton and 122 muscles. Muscle number of upper limb, trunk and lower limb part are 28, 60, 34 respectively. Bone was modeled with 3D beam element and muscle was modeled with spar element. For upper limb muscle modelling, rectus abdominis, trapezius, deltoideus, biceps brachii, triceps brachii muscle and other main muscles were considered. Lower limb muscle was modeled with gastrocenemius, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and related muscles. The biomechanical stress and strain analysis of human was conducted by proposed finite element analysis model under Kumdo head hitting motion. In this study structural analysis has been performed in order to investigate the human body impact by Kumdo head hitting motion. As the results, the analytical displacement, stress and strain of human body are presented.

This paper introduces experimental results related to the vibration ride conditions that a korean male subject experienced in the nationwide railway trains and the express bus. Two types of railway train's Saemaulho and Mugunghwaho. and the express bus were chosen to measure how much the whole-body vibrations on the contact area of the back , hip and feet are exposed to the subject. Measured vibration signals were analysed to assess the rife conditions quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysed results are illustrated to unveil how much typical public transportation system in Korea expose whole-body vibration to passengers. Futhermore, the performance evaluation of their seats were carried out to examine their effectiveness in reducing vibration exposure to passengers.

비점원오염은 여러가지가 있는데 그 중에서 농약에 의한 오염은 통제나 관리가 어려워서 효과적인 관리방법으로 IPM개념의 도입이 가장 적합하다고 판단되며, 미국에서 실제 적용 해본 결과 우리나라에서도 지형적 특성이나 농업형태에 따라 적용할 수 있는 가능성이 있으며 이 부분에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 농약이란 제거 또는 억제하고자 하는 생명체에 위해를 가하는 화학약품이기 때문에 다른 생명체에도 정도의 차이는 있으나 위해를 끼칠 수 있다. 이러한 농약성분들은 일정한 기간 약효를 나타내는 것이 특징인데,제품에 따라서는 자연분해가 느려서 생태계에 오랫동안 잔류하는데, 이 경우에 잔류농약이 사용목적외에 다른 생태계로 이동하여 피해를 입히고 인체의 건강에도 악영향을 미치게 된다. 이처럼 생태계뿐만 아니라 인체의 건강에 직접적으로 피해를 줄 수 있는 농약은 사용에 신중을 기하고, 되도록 사용량을 감소시켜야 하며, 환경친화형인 농약제품의 개발과 안전하고 손실이 적으며 효과적인 농약투입방법의 사용이 요구된다.

This article aims to provide information necessary for the measurement and analysis of human vibration, especially hand-arm vibration. The major health problems associated with the use of powered hand tools are the signs and symptoms of peripheral vascular and peripheral neural disorders of the fingers and hands. To prevent these problems, it is the first and the most important to measure the amount of the vibration transmitted to the upper extremities, and analyze its characteristics against the exposure limits such as ISO standards. In our country, however, very few studies have been done on the hand-arm vibration. One of the possible reasons might be lack of knowledge for the measurement and analysis schemes. The information introduced in this article would hopefully be of help for the upcoming studies.

In this study, the optimal dynamic isolation system for gas operated combat weapon has been investigated. For this purpose, firstly, the dynamic behavior of human induced by firing operations has been analyzed through a series of experimental works using the devised test setup. The characteristics of linear impulse has been compared under some conditions of support system. In order to design the optimal dynamic isolation system, parameter optimization process has been performed based on the simplified isolation system under constraints of moving displacement and transmitted force. Finally, the performance of the designed dynamic absorbing system has been evaluated by simulation.

2000년 현재 우리나라 농가의 트랙터 보유대수는 총 191,000대로 이 중에서 40, 50마력 급 이하는 165,000대로 대부분을 차지하고있으며 이러한 중소형 트랙터는 대부분 트랙터 클러치의 조작을 링크시스템으로 한 기계식 클러치이다. 오늘날 농가인력은 고령화가 심화되어있고 또한 부녀자의 영농참여 비중이 높아지고 있는 실정이며, 나아가 인체공학 등을 포함시킨 농업기계기술개발이 중요시되고 있는 실정이다. 오늘날 우리나라 농가에 보급된 농업기계는 대부분 남성을 대상으로 설계되어 있어 여성이 조작하기에는 어려운 점이 많으며, 특히 트랙터인 경우 기계식 클러치에서 농업 여성의 80%정도가 조작할 수 없는 것으로 보고된 바 있다.

This paper experimentally deals with the excitation by functional electrical stimulus(FES) and the response of electromyo-potential at the muscles of antebrachial joint in a human body. The excitation of FES, which results in the contraction of the muscles and thus the flection of the joint, shows that the flection angle of the joint is proportional to the magnitude of the stimulus current. The response of electromyo-potential measured according to the FES shows the linearly-proportional relation between the joint torque and the electromyo-potential. The results can be used for active motion of joint rehabilitation.

According to the pedestrian protection regulations of Europe and Japan, the head injury must not exceed a limitation in the defined test condition for the protection of pedestrians from a vehicle crash. However, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of protection because each regulation has different test conditions such as dummy, impact speed and so on. This circumstance needs the development of a model that describes the anthropometry of the crash victim with a sufficient accuracy. We constructed scaled pedestrian dummies using MADYSCALE. Simulations were performed for various crash speeds and pedestrian postures. The scaled Korean dummies and HybridIII dummies were used to compare the pedestrian dynamic behaviors and head injury criteria during the collision. The HIC values of scaled korean dummies were found to be higher than those of Hybrid III dummies. The impact for gait posture was less than that for standing.

Simple spring-damper-mass models have been widely used to investigate whole-body vortical biodynamic response characteristics of the seated vehicle driver. Most previous models have not considered the effect of wobbling masses; i.e. heart, lungs, liver, intestine, etc. In this study, 4 -DOF seated driver model including one non-rigid mass representing wobbling visceral mass, 5-DOF model including intestine, and 10-DOF model including five lumbar vertebral masses were proposed. The model parameters were identified by a combinatorial optimization technique. simulated annealing method. The objective function was chosen as the sum of error between model response of seat-to-head transmissibility and driving point mechanical impedance and those of experimental data for subjects seated erect without backrest support. The model response showed a good agreement with the experimental response characteristics. Using a 10-DOF model, calculated resonance frequency of lumbar spine at 4Hz was matched well with experimental results of Panjabi et al.
