In these days, work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) is one of the issues in the shipbuilding industry. As the number of injured workers and demands for worker's compensation have rapidly increased, improvement of work conditions and environments to prevent WMSDs has been more demanded. To reduce WMSDs' hazards in the shipbuilding industry, simulation technique which showed it's ability of increasing the manufacturing productivity was applied, because simulation technique has the evaluation ability for a worker's danger level of production process by RULA(Rapid Upper Limb Assesment). In this research, worker's altitude had modeled and worker's action has simulated. After the caution level was evaluated, we pointed out clues which had high workload. To reduce work-load, we applied ergonomic principles for improving working conditions and environments. Improved working conditions and environments were simulated using human modelling and simulation and their workload were evaluated again.

In the recent large block are used to build the ship to improve productivity. For this reason, two or more floating cranes that are connected in parallel is the trend. Typically, when working with floating crane load safety factor is considered. Even in the parallel operation, load safety factor is calculated similar to working alone. For this reason, operations do not guarantee the reliability or excessive safety factor applied. Therefore, the subdivided cases for calculating the safety factor are defined when parallel connected floating cranes are operated. Based on those cases, the operation standard is made about procedure using parallel connected floating cranes. And to verify this, dynamics simulation was performed for verification using the dynamics simulation program.

우리나라 모든 산업에서 근골격계질환은 작업자들의 안전에 큰 영향을 미치고 있으며, 산림작업은 산업안전보건법에 따라 근골격계 부담작업으로 분류된다. 특히 벌도 및 가지제거작업은 주로 인력작업으로 실시되고 있으며, 작업원의 안정성 확보를 위해 작업자세에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 체인톱을 이용한 벌도 및 가지제거작업의 작업자를 대상으로 세가지 인간공학적 분석 도구(OWAS, RULA, REBA)를 이용하여 위험도를 평가하고, 평가기법별 작업자세에 대한 영향인자를 분석하였다. 벌도와 가지제거작업자세의 위험도는 RULA, OWAS, REBA 순으로 높게 평가되었으며, 대부분 2-3단계로 작업자세의 즉각 변경조치는 요구되지 않았다. 하지만 벌도작업에서 허리와 다리를 굽힌자세와 가지제거작업에서 벌도목 위에서 작업하는 자세는 위험도가 매우 높게 분석되었다. 또한 벌도작업의 경우 산지경사, 가지제거작업의 경우는 지상에서부터 벌도목 높이가 작업위험도 평가에 영향이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 산림작업에 있어서 작업자의 안전성을 확보하기 위해 작업부하가 낮은 자세(벌도작업: 쪼그리는 자세, 가지제거작업: 허리와 다리가 곧은 자세)로 작업하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 사료된다.

The power-train is the most important component of an agricultural tractor. In this study, the strength of the driving gear transmission of an 82 kW-class tractor was analyzed using equivalent torque during plow tillage. The load measurement system consisted of an engine revolution speed sensor, torque-meters, revolution speed sensors for four axles, and pressure sensors for two hydraulic pumps. The load data were measured during plow tillage for four speed stages: F2 (2.78 km/h), F5 (5.35 km/h), F7 (7.98 km/h), and F8 (9.75 km/h). Aspects of the gear-strength such as bending stress, contact stress, and safety factors were analyzed under two torque conditions: the equivalent torque at the highest plow load for the F8 speed stage and the maximum engine torque. The simulation results using KISSsoft showed that the maximum engine torque conditions had a lower safety factor than did the highest equivalent torque condition. The bending safety factors were > 1 at all gear stages, indicating that gear breakage did not occur under actual measured operating conditions, nor under the maximum torque conditions. However, the equivalent torque condition in the contact stress safety factor was > 1, and the maximum torque condition was < 1 at the first gear pair. The method of analysis using the equivalent torque showed lower stress and higher safety factor than did the method using maximum torque. Therefore, when designing a tractor by applying actual working torque, equivalent torque method would support more reliable product development.

The rotavator is attached to the three-point hitch at the rear of a tractor and uses the power take-off strength of the tractor to perform soil harrowing. During operation, the power transmitted to the gearbox of the rotavator varies with the soil characteristics and depth. These properties influence the reliability of the gearbox. In this study, actual load measurements and analyses were performed using a rotavator. In addition, the safety factor and fatigue life of the gearbox components were determined using the analysis results. Through analysis and tests, the contact pattern of the gear tooth surface was identified. The input power values of the gearbox were minimum and maximum at 54.5% and 84.5% of the tractor power, respectively. Based on the actual load analysis results, the strength and fatigue life of the gearbox components were satisfied. In addition, through the analysis and testing of the gear contact pattern, it was confirmed that a similar contact occurred. Through the analysis, the magnitude of the load acting on the tooth surface of the gear was confirmed.

한 척의 선박을 건조하기 위해서는 다양한 크기의 블록(block)들을 이동 및 탑재해야 한다. 이러한 과정에서 블록의 체결 방법 및 각 조선소 설비 특성에 맞는 다양한 기능에 부합하는 러그를 사용하고 있다. 블록 구조의 중량 및 형태에 따라서 러그의 크기와 형상이 다양하며, 샤클(shackle)이 체결되는 홀 주변에 부족한 강성을 보완하기 위하여 덧판(doubling pad)을 용접하여 구조를 보강한다. 리프팅(lifting) 조건별 러그의 설계를 하는 방법은 보 이론(beam theory)에 의한 수계산 방법과 유한요소해석 모델링을 이용한 구조해석을 수행하고 있다. 해석적 방법의 경우, 요소의 종류와 모델링 방법에 따라서 결과 차이가 발생하여 표준화된 평가법의 정립이 필요한 상황이다. 이러한 모호한 방법론 적용 시 블록의 이동 및 반전(turn-over) 과정 중에서 심각한 안전 문제를 유발할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 러그의 실제 탑재공정에 따른 구조 응답을 평가할 수 있는 모델링 조건, 평가법을 확정하고자 다양한 변수의 영향을 수치 구조해석을 통하여 비교 및 분석하였다. 러그 홀(hole) 주변 덧판부와 용접 비드(bead)를 표현한 모델링 기법이 가장 실제적인 거동 결과를 주고 있다. 실제 러그와 동일한 조건(용접부 비드만 주재료와 연결)의 모델링에 등가하중을 적용한 결과는 MPC 하중 적용 결과보다 낮은 최종강도를 나타낸다. 더불어 해석 시간 단축을 위해서 2차원 쉘(shell) 요소를 적용한 경우, 덧판 두께를 85% 수준으로 감소시켜서 안전사용하중을 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 논문에서 검토한 다양한 변수의 영향들 결과는 러그 설계 및 안전사용하중 예측에 근거 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

한국원자력연구소에서는 현재 사용후핵연료의 효율적인 관리를 위한 차세대관리 종합공정 (ACP)의 실증용 핫셀을 건설중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 핫셀 내부의 리어도어(rear door)와 만나는 부분에 설치될 작업대(working table)의 구조적 안전성을 유한요소 해석을 통해 평가하였다. 이 부분의 작업대는 물품들의 반출입을 위해 개폐식으로 설계되었기 때문에 다른 작업대에 비해 지지 부위가 적으므로 구조적 안전성 평가가 반드시 필요하다. 핫셀을 가동할 때 작업대 위에 공정 장치들을 반입하거나 핫셀 크레인을 사용해 적재하게 되므로, 안전성 평가를 위해 정적 구조 해석과 동적 구조 해석들 함께 수행하였다. 해석 결과를 통해 두 경우 모두에 대해 개폐형 작업대가 구조적으로 충분히 안전함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 50 cm 낙하 충돌의 경우에도 작업대의 파손이나 붕괴가 일어나지 않고 안전성이 유지되었다.

Background: Animal skin provides an ideal medium for the propagation of microorganisms and it is used like raw material in the tannery and footware industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate and identify the microbial load in oropharyngeal mucosa of tannery employees. Methods: The health risk was estimated based on the identification of microorganisms found in the oropharyngeal mucosa samples. The study was conducted in a tanners group and a control group. Samples were taken from oropharyngeal mucosa and inoculated on plates with selective medium. In the samples, bacteria were identified by 16S ribosomal DNA analysis and the yeasts through a presumptive method. In addition, the sensitivity of these microorganisms to antibiotics/antifungals was evaluated. Results: The identified bacteria belonged to the families Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Neisseriaceae, Alcaligenaceae, Moraxellaceae, and Xanthomonadaceae, of which some species are considered as pathogenic or opportunistic microorganisms; these bacteria were not present in the control group. Forty-two percent of bacteria identified in the tanners group are correlated with respiratory diseases. Yeasts were also identified, including the following species: Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida albicans, and Candida krusei. Regarding the sensitivity test of bacteria identified in the tanners group, 90% showed sensitivity to piperacillin/tazobactam, 87% showed sensitivity to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, 74% showed sensitivity to ampicillin/sulbactam, and 58% showed sensitivity to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Conclusion: Several of the bacteria and yeast identified in the oropharyngeal mucosa of tanners have been correlated with infections in humans and have already been reported as airborne microorganisms in this working environment, representing a health risk for workers.

Despite most of tasks in manufacturing, construction and agriculture, etc., were currently mechanized and automated, manual materials handling still existed in atypical working condition. In case of manual materials handling, repetitive work, inappropriate working posture, excessive force, contact stress might cause overload, which could lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders and low back pains. On this basis, the goal of this study is to reveal the effects of various lifting postures of trunk angles and lower extremity postures on maximum holding time(MHT). Twenty two subjects were recruited from a university population. The experiment was designed by a combination of three trunk angle ($0^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$) and three lower extremity postures(straight, bent, kneeling). Before experimental trials, subjects performed MVC(maximum voluntary contraction) exertions in three trunk angles ($0^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$) to calculate 30%MVC at designated postures. In each trial, they were required to hold the handheld load(30%MVC) for a designated posture as long as they could. The results of MVC by trunk angles were measured in $0^{\circ}$ > $20^{\circ}$ > $60^{\circ}$ orders, but those of MHT measured in $20^{\circ}$ > $0^{\circ}$ > $60^{\circ}$ orders. These results showed that straight posture is the ideal working posture in work exerted a strong force for a short time, but the ability to work might be improved in the trunk angle $20^{\circ}$ in work required 30%MVC for a long time. Also, results of MVC and MHT by lower extremity postures measured in straight > bent > kneeling orders.
