Biomechanics and Anthropometry for Cockpit and Equipment Design.

Abstract

This report describes enhancements made to the AMRL COMBIMAN (COMputerized BIOmechanical MAN-model) program in the areas of man-model link-system and enfleshment characteristics, and in the area of additional functions or options made available to the user of the interactive graphics computer program of COMBIMAN. These new functions include obtaining hard-copy plots of the man-model and workstation as displayed on the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), and obtaining visibility plots of the workstation boundary. The report also documents technical procedures followed in readying the AMRL HERCULES (Human Engineering Research to Cull Efficient Strength) Lab for measuring strength capabilities of seated operators, and the procedures established for running the subjects and gathering the data. The last area covered in this report is the development of programs and the mainpulation of anthropometric data used in the analysis of human size variability data.
