Using Multivariate Analysis to Select Accommodation Boundary Manikins from a Population Database

by mbp11 | May 1, 2015 | Publications

Digital Human Models (DHMs) are a tool that can be used to aid in determining dimensions for human-centered designs. DHMs have the ability to represent the anthropometric extremes of the population and help to determine which dimensions should be used to accommodate a...

An updated estimate of the body dimensions of US children

by mbp11 | Jan 19, 2015 | Publications

Anthropometric data from children are important for product design and the promulgation of safety standards. The last major detailed study of child anthropometry in the USA was conducted more than 30 years ago. Subsequent demographic changes and the increased...

Estimated anthropometry for male commercial pilots in Europe and an approach to its use in seat design

by mbp11 | Sep 1, 2014 | Publications

This research provides an estimate of the anthropometry of the male commercial pilot population in Europe and details a new method for applying these data in multivariate design problems: the cockpit seat. For the safety and vigilance, the pilot must fit the seat....
Advancing design through the creation and visualization of a virtual population representing US civilians

Advancing design through the creation and visualization of a virtual population representing US civilians

by mbp11 | Aug 17, 2014 | Publications

Visualization of the U.S. civilian population provides perspective on the variability of body size and shape, enabling designers and engineers to better understand the needs of their target users. This paper presents a virtual population of digital human models,...
Identifying glenoid geometries through radial basis functions for implant design

Identifying glenoid geometries through radial basis functions for implant design

by mbp11 | Aug 17, 2014 | Publications

Total Shoulder Arthroplasty is performed on patients to restore range of motion of the shoulder and decrease pain caused by osteoarthritis at the glenohumeral joint. The glenohumeral joint is a slightly unstable ball and socket joint, where muscles hold the humerus in...
