Musculoskeletal disorders(MSDs) are one of the major issues in shipbuilding industry. Main risk factors of MSDs include manual handling of heavy weight, awkward posture, repetitive tasks, prolonged static muscle contraction, and so on. in this study, Using the three-dimensional digital human modeling and simulation method we made up a worker and work posture on a virtual environment. To verify this simulation we compared both traditional ergonomic analysis on a real worker and digital program analysis on a digital human. And this paper shows that it is possible to reduce the rate of MSDs in the shipbuilding industry because it means we can change poor posture mid surroundings into better ones.

The 3D simulations of the shielding concrete and the Rotary Specimen Rack(RSR) in the Korea Research Reactor-1&2(KRR-1&2) were carried out in present work. Four main dismantling processes, which are the removal of the RSR, reactor core region, beam tube, and thermal column and activated concrete, were selected for the graphic simulation by the consideration of the activation, worker training, work difficulty and so on. On the basis of these, we constructed their 3D CAD models and then drawn and reviewed their dismantling processes. In this study, the 3D simulation results of the shielding concrete and the RSR among main components are also presented and discussed.

One of the most important and powerful tools available for design and/or study of the operation of complex systems and processes is simulation. Since automated material handling systems like AS/RS are often quite complex, a network-based simulation model is developed to analyze an automobile part supplier's automated storage and retrieval system(AS/RS). The network simulation model is implemented in the SLAM Ⅱ on a VAX 8800 computer. Performance of the AS/RS was tested for 3 dispatching rules, 3 work load levels, 2 storage policies, 3 levels of stacker crane break-down, and 2 conveyor system layouts. Results indicate that the AS/RS performance is primarily affected by the dispatching rule and work load level.

The major objective of the present paper is to estabilish finite element simulation technique in order to further analyze the shearing process. For this the ductile fracture criterion and element kill method are used in the present work. It is postulated that a fracture initiation is based on the magnitude of local effective strain. The features of sheared surface are easily observed by the element kill method. The simulation results are compard with existing experimental results. It is found that the results of the present work are close agreement with the existing results.

This study develops a dynamic scheduling model for parallel machine scheduling problem based on genetic algorithm (GA). GA combined with discrete event simulation to minimize the makespan and verifies the effectiveness of the developed model. This research consists of two stages. In the first stage, work sequence will be generated using GA, and the second stage developed work schedule applied to a real work area to verify that it could be executed in real work environment and remove the overlapping work, which causes bottleneck and long lead time. If not, go back to the first stage and develop another schedule until satisfied. Small size problem was experimented and suggested a reasonable schedule within limited resources. As a result of this research, work efficiency is increased, cycle time is decreased, and due date is satisfied within existed resources.

Traffic safety in freeway work zones is of keen interest since both crash frequency and severity are much higher than those in general freeway sections. The lane closure in work zones results in greater work load of drivers due to compulsory lane changes and speed reduction. Therefore, traffic merging control is an effective countermeasure for enhancing work zone safety. This study proposed an integrated framework based on driving and traffic simulations to evaluate traffic merging control methods in terms of traffic safety. In addition to the conventional merging method using the taper, joint merge and chicane-type merge were evaluated by the proposed methodology. Chicane-type merge outperformed other methods under level of service (LOS) A and B. On the other hand, it was identified that joint merge showed the best safety performance under LOS C traffic conditions.

Preliminary analysis on the modeling conditions and the simulation results is conducted only to evaluate the correctness of the simulation configuration further to apply for the LASGIT project. Except for the unrealistic modeling conditions for the relations of capillary pressure and relative permeability against water saturation used previously, the simulation results successfully demonstrate Helium propagation typical for two-phase flow. Further elaborated simulation with more realistic parameters should complete the weak points of the preliminary work.

This paper deals with the case study that determines the best operating system of a container terminal using computer simulation techniques. For the simulation, SIMAN simulation language is used. The simulation model developed circumvents the dimensional restrictions imposed by the SIMAN package. Non-terminating simulation experiments are conducted for the 90 days' work on the basis of operation practices of real terminals.

As a part of work to simulate electromagnetic environments for Hareware-In-the-Loop Simulation, clutter signals of pulsed dopplar radar(altimeter) and CW radar are modeled as numerical expressions for various parameters. The simulated results show that this method is applicable to simulate complex electromagnetic environments.
