Ergonomic Analysis of the Global Formula Racing Driver Interface

Creator:: Davis, Sean M.
Abstract:: Between Oregon State University and DHBW Ravensberg, Global Formula Racing produces two Formula style vehicles every year for competition. This thesis has served as a pre-development project in the ergonomics and driver interface of the team's vehicles. This project will determine the position of the seat back, steering wheel, and...

A study of the ergonomics of emergency stop pushbuttons

Creator:: Zárate, Patricia B.
Abstract:: Emergency stop controls are essential parts of industrial machinery because they are designed to stop the operation in case of emergencies without risks to operators, equipment, products, or facilities. Current guidelines for emergency stop controls have been formulated based on experience but not on empirical studies. The main objectives of...

Automating Digital Human Modeling for Task Simulation and Ergonomic Evaluation to Consider Emergency Ergonomics Early in Design

Creator:: Gawand, MihirSunil
Abstract:: Digital Human Modeling (DHM) is a computational design tool that allows designers to use virtual prototypes of design for exploring ergonomics requirements. DHM brings in the advantage of reducing the time and finances committed to building the physical prototypes as well as minimizing the efforts put on performing human subject...

Use and perceptions among selected Oregon manufacturing companies concerning ergonomic consulting services

Creator:: Linn, Joy L.
Abstract:: This study surveyed a sample population of manufacturing companies in Oregon. Respondents were surveyed concerning their perceptions of ergonomics and their use of ergonomic consulting services from three potential sources of ergonomic consulting services. The sources of ergonomic consulting services were the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OR-OSHA), Workers'...

Exploration of the Integration of Markerless Motion Capture and Virtual Reality for Ergonomics Assessment of Products in Early Design

Creator:: Zhang, Jianfu
Abstract:: This thesis uses the manuscript option. The First Manuscript proposed a markerless Motion Capture (MOCAP) system with a Virtual Reality (VR) setup, which has the potential to eliminate excess cost and time associated with physical prototyping. Validation of the proposed virtual ergonomics analysis was made by measuring L4/L5 compression forces....

Safety voice for ergonomics (SAVE) project: protocol for a workplace cluster-randomized controlled trial to reduce musculoskeletal disorders in masonry apprentices

Creator:: Kincl, Laurel D., Anton, Dan, Hess, Jennifer A., and Weeks, Douglas L.
Abstract:: Background: Masons have the highest rate of overexertion injuries among all construction trades and rank second for occupational back injuries in the United States. Identified ergonomic solutions are the primary method of reducing exposure to risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders. However, many construction workers lack knowledge about these solutions,...

“Gold Dirt:” An Exploratory Study of Beginner Women Farmers’ Experiences with Farmland Tenure Mediating Care for Soil in Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Christophel Michaels, Rosa J.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates how beginning, women farmers, within in a women farmers’ network in the Willamette Valley, Oregon are accessing land and farming information. Using ethnographic, community-based research methods, I ask how land access mediates their ability to care for their land and soil. Are these farmers interested in fostering...

Site ORBE2 : an archaeological analysis of a construction disturbed site

Creator:: Cromwell, Robert J.
Abstract:: This thesis describes investigations of archaeological materials recovered from Site ORBE2, an early-twentieth century historic site in Corvallis, OR. The archaeological materials were found only after construction workers had excavated trenches underneath the still-standing structure on the site in order to install a new foundation. Over 1500 artifacts were recovered...

Development and Trial of a Usability Testing Protocol for Biomass Cookstoves : An Interdisciplinary Approach

Creator:: Moses, Nicholas D.
Abstract:: Improved cookstoves have been designed and disseminated for several decades in an effort to address the human health and environmental issues caused by the inefficient, traditional biomass cooking and heating methods used by 40% of the world’s people. Engineers and designers working on these improved stoves have tended to focus...

Robotic deburring

Creator:: James, Francis
Abstract:: Deburring of machined parts is a crucial task in the aerospace and automotive industry. This process is still performed manually to a large extent due to the unpredictability of burr formation as well as the complex interactions between the human arm and the workpiece. Poor ergonomics, repetitive stress and strain...
