摘要
Although automatic techniques have been employed in manufacturing industries to increase productivity and efficiency, there are still lots of manual handling operations, especially for assembly and maintenance operations. In these operations, musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is one of the major health problems due to overload and cumulative physical fatigue. With combination of conventional posture analysis techniques, digital human modeling and simulation (DHM) techniques have been developed and commercialized to evaluate the potential physical exposures. However, those ergonomic analysis tools are mainly based on posture analysis techniques, and until now there is still no fatigue index available in commercial software to evaluate the physical fatigue effectively. In this paper, a new muscle fatigue and recovery model is used to evaluate joint fatigue level in manual handling operations. The physical fatigue in a special application case is described and analyzed using digital human simulation techniques.
