ERGONOMICS

 LPTC
3003

OBJECTIVES: The student should be made to:
• Be exposed to principles of ergonomics.
• Learn the mechanics of muscle physiology.
• Be familiar with the mathematical models, analysis and design of biomedical devices using case studies.

UNIT I

VISUAL AND AUDITORY ERGONOMICS

9
Process of seeing – visual capabilities-factors affecting visual acuity and contrast sensitivity – human factor aspects of hard copy text and computer screen text, factors in selecting graphic representations symbols, qualitative visual display-process of hearing-principles of auditory display.

UNIT II

MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

9
Muscle physiology -muscle metabolism-respiratory response-joint motion study- measure of physiological in-efficiency and energy consumption-work rest cycles-aspects of manual and posture study, materialhandling (MMH) Bio-mechanical recommended limits of MMH.


UNIT III

CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS

9
Spatial compatibility physical arrangement of displays and controls- movement capability- rotary controls and rotar displays movement of displays orientation of the operator and movement relationships control orders and control responses- human limitations in tracking task.

UNIT IV

ANTHROPOMETRY

9
Anthropometry- anthropometric design principles –work space envelope- factors in design of work space surfaces- principles of seat design –principles of control panel. Organization classification of human errorstheories of accident causation-reducing accidents by altering behavior.

UNIT V

CASE STUDIES

9
Case Study 1: computer design, control panel design of an electronic instrument, computer key board, hand drill etc. Case Study 2: Biomedical Application, Design optimization of Medical Equipments.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
• Understand principles of ergonomics.
• Design biomedical devices.
