FATIGUE STUDIED IN REACTION TIME EXPERIMENTS

Fatigue Failure and Damage Analysis of an Anti-roll Bar Subjected to Fatigue Experiments

The available fatigue theories have been examined using simple specimens subjected to bending or tension-compression loads. Therefore, the stress fields have been generally one or two dimensional. Anti-roll bar is a component belongs to the suspension system of the vehicles. In spite of having simple circular section, due to the having several curvatures, this component experiences a three-dime...

Relation between feelings of fatigue, reaction time and work productivity.

Taking into consideration the limited amount of research that has been done focussing on fatigue among workers in Indonesia, the writer has taken it upon herself to investigate the indicators of chronic fatigue of the concrete block and sewer pipe cast workers of a place located in Sleman District of Yogyakarta. The purpose of this study was to prepare an instrument to evaluate the feelings of ...

Effect of Fatigue in Roundhouse Kick’s Reaction Time, Response Time and Impact Force in Taekwondo

The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of fatigue on reaction time, response time, and impact force during the roundhouse kick in Taekwondo athletes. Six competitive male athletes performed a time to exhaustion test. Results show that a specific protocol to exhaustion reduce impact force but do not change reaction time and response time during the roundhouse kick in Taekwondo ath...

Memory-scanning: mental processes revealed by reaction-time experiments.

Some experiments on simple and choice reaction time.

4 experiments in simple and choice reaction time (RT) are reported. Experiment I examines the effect of monetary payoffs on the accuracy and variability of time estimation. Experiment II examines the effect of moving the position of a narrow payoff band along the time axis on the variability of observed RTs. This appears to alter the proportion of bona fide reactions (of low variability) and of...
