چکیده
1. Abstract This paper describes the efforts of an interdisciplinary research team to design a generally applicable system for ergonomic optimization with respect to the physiological properties of the human body and the body’s interaction with the product. The articulation of biological principles in the form of optimization criteria, their implementation into efficient methods for musculoskeletal simulation, and the use of the methods for ergonomic optimization are described. It is concluded that musculoskeletal analysis based on optimization principles holds a large potential in basic research as well as in product development.

Assessing the Importance of Motion Dynamics for Ergonomic Analysis of Manual Materials Handling Tasks using the AnyBody Modeling System
Most current applications of digital human figure models for ergonomic assessments of manual tasks focus on the analysis of a static posture. Tools available for static analysis include joint-specific strength, calculation of joint moments, balance maintenance capability, and lowback compression or shear force estimates. Yet, for many tasks, the inertial loads due to acceleration of body segmen...
