본 연구는 몸통의 반복적인 flexion/extension 동작 수행시 근전도신호를 측정하고 이들 신호에서 나타난 EMG parameters(median frequency, median power, RMS) 와 피실험자의 주관적 불편도의 변화양상간의 정량적인 관계를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 피실험자별로 3-5회 정해진 업무를 수행하였고 주관적불편도와 근전도 신호를 측정하였다. 실험결과 반복횟수가 증가할수록 주관적 불편도는 증가하였으며 각 task 별로 EMG parameter와 불편도의 증감율 간의 회귀분석과 상관분석을 수행한 결과 실험과 EMG parameter에 따른 변이는 존재했지만 대체로 RMS에 비해 MF와 MP의 증감율이 불편도 증감율과 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Form the application of long rail system the non-ballast steel plate bridges, fatigue strength increase and rail noise reduction can be expected. This is mainly form the reduction of the rail impact at the rail joint locations which already made to behave together from welds. In the high speed rail, application of long rail system is essential because without long rail system, the required serviceability level can not be achieved. But even with this long rail systems, the thermal expansion from the girder can not be absorbed in the normal bearing systems, and these expansion cause between girder and rail. Also unexpected rail buckling and fracture through rail thermal tension may happen. It was found through numerical analysis and field measurement that these problems can be avoided by semi-fixed bearing system. In this study, the benefits of non-ballast plate bridge through long rail system, especially at the point of girder stability, girder stiffness increase and bearing maintenance will be reviewed.

In workplace design, an ergonomic solution should ensure low postural stress in the operator during his/her work. Stress caused by awkward working postures of the trunk, shoulders and legs can result in fatigue, discomfort, musculo-skeletal disorders and nerve entrapment syndromes. Since discomfort and musculo-skeletal disorders are both related to exposure to biomechanical load on the musculo-skeletal system, minimization of discomfort will contribute to reduction of the risk for musculo-skeletal disorders as well. Therefore, in this study, perceived discomfort on the human body joints was measured in the standing postures using the magnitude estimation in order to have a standardized numerical scale for joint discomfort. Nine healthy graduate students participated voluntarily in the laboratory study. The results revealed that perceived discomfort of all the joints increased as the joints deviated from neutral position. Especially, it showed drastic increment on perceived discomfort when deviation from neutral position in each human body joint increased from 75% to 100%. in terms of relative range of motion(R0M). On the basis of these experimental results, a preliminary ranking for assessment of stressfulness of non-neutral postures around the human body joints was suggested.

With 100 collegians residing in Busan, a shoes wearing survey was held. Out of the subjects, 50 women collegians showing some interest in fashion sneakers were chosen to reveal the effects of shoes size changes on walking patterns and wearing sense. This study focused on the fitness of sneakers produced the following results: 1. Survey Results of Shoes Wearing The subjects had some room in wearing sneakers or athletic shoes, including $20{\sim}30mm$ (33%). Just 25% of the subjects reported about the experience of falling, and 67.6% had difficulty walking on downhills. 50% felt feet fatigue difference when wearing fitting and unfitting shoes. 2. Analysis of Walking Patterns & Survey Results of Wearing Sense No significance was found among shoes sizes in left and right step angles. Step width measurement revealed no significance among shoes sizes. Significance ($p{\le}.05$) existed among shoes sizes in steps and strides. Significance ($p{\le}.001$) was noticed among shoes sizes in wearing sense.

The Residual stress is stress at the inside of materials after plastic deformation. Certainly, this residual stress have an effect on fatigue life. Therefore, it is very important that understanding residual stress at the inside of materials. But in case of U-shaped Pipe that it is dealt with a mailer in this paper, distribution of residual stress is very complicated and exactly become unknown caused by difficulty of measurement. Then, in this paper, we are evaluated residual stress at in the inside of materials by finite clement method program and verified validity by test.

In ultrasound-excited thermography, the injected ultrasound to an object is transformed to heat and the appearance of defects can be visualized by thermography camera. The advantage of this technology is selectively sensitive to thermally active defects. Despite the apparent simplicity of the scheme, there are a number of experimental considerations that can complicate the implementation of ultrasound excitation thermography inspection. Factors including acoustic horn location, horn-crack proximity, horn-sample coupling, and effective detection range all significantly affect the detect ability of this technology. As conclusions, the influence of coupling pressures between ultrasound exciter and specimen was analyzed, which was dominant factor in frictional heating model.

We Propose an improved shovel design to minimize physical discomfort and the risk of cumulative trauma disorder at shoveling tasks. The specifications of shovels in Korean standard data were scrutinized to check if they met the anthropometric specification of Korean population in 1997. We also applied "Body Map" pictograph and self-conscious checklist to field survey to analyze the discomfort of shoveling task. Thirty male subjects whose age were ranging from 18 to 65 voluntarily participated in the experiment. The measurement results show that shoveling workers were exposed to hazards of CTD's. Especially, when workers were involved in ditch digging and construction their trunk vend more than 120 degree. In order to compare the new designed shovel and the traditional K.S shovel, an analysis of variance was performed and we obtained very strong evidence that the new designed shovel was better in reducing physical discomfort. According to the results from electromyograrn experiment the new shovel contributed to improving subjective comfort level and reducing low back muscle fatigue. For futher study, the research may be extended to determine the relationship among shovel sharpness, type, digging motion and digging force.ing force.

Many risk factors with the onset of Low Back Pain(LBP) have been identified, however, lifting out of Manual Material Handling(MMH) was the most important factor to the LBP. Injuries due to lifting took account for 34.0%(227,291) out of the total overexertion in MMH(668,084). The weight, vertical location, twist angle, lifting frequency, and lifting posture were reviewed in this study. Technical information for using the revised lifting equation to evaluate a variety of two - handled manual material handling tasks was suggested. To measure worker's fatigue in lifting task, Lifting Index Simulator(LIS) was create under the revised NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) lifting equation. For the implementation of the LIS, data was collected in A company manufactures various paints in Si-Wha industrial complex, Kyunggi-Do. The results of the Lifting Index(LI) were analyzed by MANOVA to find the relation with lifting variables collected. It was found that horizontal distance, vertical distance, travelling distance and frequency were significant at the 0.01 level and weight was significant at the 0.05 level. The purpose of this paper is to reduce the chronical low back pain for the manual material handlers.

Offshore wind farm is being increased since there are much trouble to develop onshore wind farm. But in the offshore, wind turbine wake does not dissipate less than onshore wind turbine because of low turbulence level. Thus this remained wake interacted to other wind turbine. This interaction reduces energy production in wind farm and have a bad influence on fatigue load of wind turbine. In this research, CFD model was constructed to analyze wake effect in offshore wind farm. A method that wind turbine rotor region was modelled in porous media was devised to reduce computation load and validated by comparison with Horns Rev measurement. Then wake interaction between two wind turbine was analyzed by devised porous model.

현대사회에 유행처럼 자리잡은 웨이트 트레이닝의 부상률이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 가장 큰 부상 원인은 '무리한 동작'으로 자신이 수행할 수 있는 운동강도를 인지하지 못하여 근력 유지가 되지 않아 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 근력 유지 실패를 일으키는 원인인 '근피로도'를 검출하여 개인에게 적합한 운동 강도를 찾는 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과, MNF 기울기 분석을 통해 운동 반복횟수가 증가함에 따라 근피로도가 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 향후, 잡음에 강한 매개변수를 바탕으로 연구가 이어진다면 웨이트 트레이닝의 부상률이 낮아질 것으로 사료된다.
