Determination of Safe Guidelines for One-Hand Lifting
(2017-04-19)
The broad aim of this research is to better understand the effect asymmetric lifting has on the low back and trunk muscles. Collecting anthropometric, muscle and lever arm information at the L-3 region of the back, muscle ...
Evaluation of Evacuation Performance Using Different Locomotive Postures
(2017-07-25)
Humans may adopt atypical locomotive postures due to breathing zone constraints during
emergency evacuations. Except for walking upright, postures during evacuation have been
sparsely researched. This study evaluated ...
Accelerated Life-Cycle Testing of Various Lead-Free Solder Alloys by Mechanical Shock and Thermal Cycling Techniques
(2017-12-11)
For the last couple of decades, our inclination towards computer technology has increased broadly. Personal device assistants also known as PDA's have become a part of our daily needs. Hence, the reliability of these ...
Operational and Investment Solutions to Enhance the Transmission and Distribution Systems of the Electrical Grid
(2017-06-28)
An electric power system consists of three major components: generation, transmission and distribution. Electricity is usually generated in remote generation plants and carried through high voltage transmission lines to ...
Revisiting the OSHA Hand Speed Constant
(2017-11-30)
This research focused on after-reach and over-reach in automated systems. OSHA uses a hand speed constant developed in 1935 (1.6 m/s) to calculate the “safe distance” on dual palm buttons and presence sensing devices. The ...
