Equipment designer should consider how many people and what range of percentiles will be used as design criteria. The usual practice is to select some large range of the accommodation, such as 5th-95th percentiles. There is difficulty in defining 95% accommodation of population in complex design problems which involve several body dimensions. This paper develops the methods of constructing family of manikins which are validated for population accommodation. They are analyzed by the interactions or relationships between body dimensions. Proposed manikin family represents multivariate body dimensions. Moreover, nine manikin families are determined for representative Korean of 30-50 aged by proposed manikin family. Their 2-D CAD modelings are developed for bio-mechanical and ergonomic applications.

The present study developed an anthropometric design method accommodating physical human variabilities for user-centered product development. The proposed design method is based on the boundary zone method, a technique to generate a group of humanoids properly representing the body size diversity of thedesign target population. In addition, the anthropometric design method considers the variability of postures in the design process by incorporating the simulation of posture. The effectiveness of the proposed design method was evaluated in terms of multivariate accommodation percentage (MAP) by applying it to designing a computer workstation with 90% of accommodation percentage. The performance evaluation showed that the MAP (89%) of the computer workstation design produced by the proposed method was quite close to the designated accommodation percentage. The proposed design method can be of use to develop an effective anthropometric design for user-centered product development.

Objective: The present study developed an estimation method of boundary zone representative humanoids(hereafter, EBZ method) using descriptive statistics on the design target population. Background: The boundary zone method(hereafter, BZ method) generates representative humanoids at a boundary zone that statistically accommodates a designated percent of the design target population; however, the BZ method has a practical limitation because it requires a large scale anthropometric database on the design target population. Method: The EBZ method developed in the present study consisted of 3 steps. In the first step, the boundary zone of accommodating a designated percent(e.g., 90%) is formed under the assumption of normal distributions for anthropometric sizes. In the second step, cases that fall within the boundary zone are estimated using descriptive statistics(mean, standard deviation, and covariance) on the design target population. In the last step, K-mean cluster analysis is conducted for the cases, and representative humanoids are selected from each of clusters. Results: Evaluation results showed that mean accommodation percent of the EBZ method was 90.9%(range: 90.8~91.1%) which is similar to the target percent(90%). In addition, standard deviation of accommodation percent for 100 repetitions was 0.1%. Lastly, the number of representative humanoids generated by the EBZ method(n = 20) was similar to the BZ method(n = 16). Conclusion: The EBZ method can generate representative humanoids which accommodate a designated percent of the design target population using descriptive statistics. Application: The EBZ method can be utilized in the generation of humanoids for ergonomic design and evaluation of products when the large scale anthropometric database on the design target population is not existed.

사위를 가지고 있는 근시안의 안정피로에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하고 양안 시생활에서 느낄 수 있는 안정피로 완화를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자, 19세에서 35세 미만 260명을 대상으로 굴절이상 교정, 동공중심거리, 사위량, 폭주기능, 조절기능, AC/A를 측정하고 문진을 통해 양안시에서의 안정피로 호소 여부를 조사하여 안정피로에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하고, 안정피로를 느끼는 사람들에게 프리즘을 장용하여 안정피로 증상이 완화되는지를 확인하였다. 자료 분석은 다변량 Logistic 회귀분석으로 하였고, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 전체 대상자 가운데 26.9%가 안정피로를 호소하였고, 사위를 가진 근시안의 양안시에 영향을 미치는 특성별 다변량 로지스틱 분석을 한 결과 조절력과 폭주력이 낮을 때, 근거리에서 내사위를 가지고 있거나 외사위량이 기준치를 초과했을 때, AC/A는 낮을 때에 안정피로 호소율이 특히 높았으며, 95% 신뢰구간에서도 안정피로와 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타나, 조절과 폭주 기능, 근거리 사위량, AC/A를 사위를 가지고 있는 비정시안의 안정피로에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 예측할 수 있었다. 양안시에서 안정피로를 호소하는 사위안에 프리즘을 처방하였더니 74.3%가 안정피로 증상이 완화되었다.

사위를 가진 정시안의 안정피로에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하고 양안 시생활에서 느낄 수 있는 안정피로 완화를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자, 사시안, 안질환 또는 전신질환을 가지고 있는 자를 제외하고, 무작위로 근거리 시작업을 지속적으로 하고 있는 19세에서 30세 미만의 327명을 검사대상으로 하여 사위량, 폭주기능, 조절기능, AC/A를 측정하고 설문지를 통해 양안시에서의 안정피로 여부를 조사하였다. 또한, 안정피로에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하고, 안정피로를 느끼는 사람들에게 프리즘을 장용하여 안정피로 증상이 완화되는지를 확인하였다. 자료 분석은 Chi-Square 단별량 검정과 다변량 Logistic 회귀분석으로 하였고, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 정시안의 양안시에 영향을 미치는 특성별 단별량 분석에서는 조절력과 폭주력이 낮을 때 안정피로 호소가 매우 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.001), AC/A는 낮을수록 안정피로 호소가 높은 경향을 보였고, 근거리 사위량은 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 다변량 로지스틱 분석을 한 결과에서는 조절력과 폭주력이 낮을 때 안정피로 호소율이 매우 높았고 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 근거리에서 사위는 내사위를 가지고 있거나 기준치보다 많은 외사위량을 가지고 있을 때 안정피로 호소율이 높았고, AC/A는 정상에 비해 낮을 때가 안정피로 호소율이 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 근거리 사위량과 AC/A는 안정피로와 상관관계가 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 근거리 양안시에서 안정피로를 호소하는 사위를 가진 정시안에 프리즘을 처방하였더니 정시에서는 74.2%가 안정피로 증상이 완화되었다.

Purpose - In this paper, we categorize and segment the 28 national universities in South Korea and measure the degree of dissimilarity (or similarity) between pairs of ones by using dissimilarity distance matrix and cluster analysis, respectively, based on the seven quantitative evaluation of educational conditions (percentage of small-scale courses, percentage of lecture by the faculty, collection of books per student, material purchase per student, percentage of building capacity, percentage of real estate capacity and rate of accommodation) in 2015. In addition, multidimensional scaling (MDS) techniques can obtain visual representation for exploring patterns of proximities among 28 national universities based on seven attributes of educational conditions. Research design, data, and methodology - This work is carried out by the 2015 Announcement of University Information, which is provided by Ministry of Education in South Korea and utilized by multivariate analyses with CLUSTER, PROXIMITIES and ALSCAL modules in IBM SPSS 23.0. Results - We make certain that 28 national universities can be categorized into five clusters which have similar traits by applying two-stage cluster analysis. MDS is utilized to perform positioning of grouped places of cluster and 28 national universities joining every cluster. Conclusions - Both types and traits of each national university can be relatively assessed and practically utilized for each university competitiveness based on underlying results.

Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a distributed representative human model(DRHM) generation and analysis system. Background: DRHMs are used for a product with multiple-size categories such as clothing and shoes. It is not easy for a product designer to explore an optimal sizing system by applying various distributed methods because of their complexity and time demand. Method: Studies related to DRHM generation were reviewed and the RHM generation interfaces of three digital human model simulation systems(Jack$^{(R)}$, RAMSIS$^{(R)}$, and CATIA Human$^{(R)}$) were reviewed. Results: DRHM generation steps are implemented by providing sophisticated interfaces which offer various statistical techniques and visualization methods with ease. Conclusion: The DRHM system can analyze the multivariate accommodation percentage of a sizing system, provide body sizes of generated DRHMs, and visualize generated grids and DRHMs. Application: The DRHM generation and analysis system can be of great use to determine an optimal sizing system for a multiple-size product by comparing various sizing system candidates.
